| According to a post made by Taranis on the official forums, Sigil was the one that initiated the deal between both MSG and SOE.
That's not to say that they might have felt MSG was losing interest and so they had more reason to initiate or what, but I think it's important to understand that MSG didn't pull out on SGO.
"As already said in this thread, it's almost certain that the money comes from SOE."
I believe Brad has stated that the money did not come from SOE. |
