Quote: "Those fine folks who have,at least up to this point,not only refuse to honor their part of the commitment to the Nvidia competition but also refuse to return any correspondance about the refusal."
Manifesto games has nothing to do with the competition at all.... you do mean Mastertronic Games.... they've promised the publishing deal, not Manifesto, you picked on the wrong one, check newsletter 46
But seriously, did you ever believe there was a publishing deal, even the TGC staff person who left stated a couple of times that the publishing deal by Mastertronic was more or less a hoax. Mastronic only publishes proven titles, Manifesto on the other hand published promising titles, huge difference. If Manifesto would have sponsored the competition, the winning titles would have been published on completion, Mastronic never ever seriously consider publishing one of winning titles.
