I am trying to help Max Barry- need info about Jolt

Postby Usual People In Life » Thu Oct 01, 2009 3:44 pm

I am currently trying to help Max Barry by trying to contact Jolt too see if they still have the source or base codes for NationStates 2.

Anyone got any contact details for Jolt.

Site/game team: ask Max about it.
The E-mail address I contacted him with is the only one I have myself, and is the one I have registered with NationStates. Any help appriciated.

How is this going to help Max?

Given that he knows all the principals at OMAC, and that all contracts presumably specified code ownership and the like, one would think that he could get the code if he had a legal right to it. One would also think that there are no obvious circumstances where they would give you the code but somehow prevent Max from getting it.

Good luck tilting at windmills.

No, actually, Max does not own the Nationstates 2 code. The deal was they would pay him a share of the profit made by the game, and that they would develop and code the game according to his specifications.

They neither paid him nor made the game according to his wishes.

Hmm, and I'm sure if Max tried to sue for a breach of contract he'd run into legal issues up the demon-hole since OMAC is in another country and what-not. They were probably even counting on that annoyance to act in their favor. Isn't international law fun?

Still, I'd love to see OMAC get what's coming to them, NS2 is not the first cash-cow they have jumped on and rode for all it's worth.

Gee, there's no hostility among the NS moderation team toward OMAC. None at all! Everything's peachy keen and just dandy between us! :D

... Really, I mean it! :)

... Stop looking at me like that! :unsure:

He wants there address so he can go there, burn down the HQ, then threaten to 'deal with' all company members until the code is handed over.
