Richard Garriott Interview (Ultima)

Man glaubt es kaum, nachdem Ultima 2 gecancelt wurde, zeigt sich Richard Garriott mal wieder auf der Mattscheibe, und zwar bei GSpy, wo er ein Interview (engl) gibt. Und es lohnt ein Blick, denn hier geht es um all das ganze Zeugs wie U9, UO2 und sein Weggang von Origin.

GS: When Ultima 9: Ascension shipped, it was, shall we say, slightly buggy and seemed as though it had been rushed out the door. What happened?

RG: U9 only survived at all as a project, by shear force of will. Few if any exec's within EA, and even Origin supported it at all. I had a very hard time keeping funding and staff to do what we did. I am proud of the results, yet also aware of the shortcomings.
