[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 4054506, member: 20741"] Well, my wife is not a lawyer. But I am a lawyer; moreover, I am in the business of making and marketing games as well. So you'll forgive me if I view the legal answer as to the theoretical efficacy of "bankruptcy protection" to executory contracts with a cynical and jaundiced eye. I am not saying that Gencon 08 will not go forward. It probably will - though the matter - which was previously a certainty - now has an element of doubt to it. You don't get to that new place for free. Far more importantly, I am saying that the quality of the event is now greatly in doubt and the commitment of many different parties who depend on trust and the expectation of an ongoing commercial interest over a course of years to focus their attention and commitment is shaken. That has a cascade effect that is very difficult to avoid. I repeat: there will be consequences. [/QUOTE]
