Anyone ever hear of this game before? The article says it was 70% done when it was abandoned. Looks like it could have been a great game. Not sure if anyone ever tried to finish it:

I mean the screenshots are nice and all but unless someone is going to leak it so that it's playable...

Looks like a DarkLands clone.

The original creator supposedly still has the unfinished game, so go figure.

I'm always confused what's worse: the personal drama that ruined so many companies in late 80s and early 90s OR the corporate fuckery of late 90s and early 00s.

Corporate, obviously. Drama lead to split of companies and often caused great things to happen after the split, with either of the new companies. Corporate meant killing most of studios and doing bunch of retarded mergers, while chasing after the numbers and repeatable formulas that just breed money with least effort possible. We lost dozens upon dozens of companies in the turn of millenium and few years that followed thanks to this bullshit and right after that, we lost few genres almost entirely, because "nobody wants to play X", says guy specialising in selling dry goods and barring "his" vidya company from making X hereafter.

And then, of course, is stuff like the fate of Sierra, a motherfucking juggernaut of the industry under Williams, but croaked just 3 years after being sold to suits, since said suits just wanted a money-printing machine, with zero understanding of what the company is making.
