Well looks like some people are getting laid-off at NetDevil according to this article and some FB and Blog postings by some developers.

Shame this is happening and hope everyone can quickly find work again. I guess it is still up in the air on the fate of JGE and JC?

Creating games is a fun business ... that is until $$ come in the picture, after that everything changes, people start jumping at each other's throats, companies get sued and all sorts of crap like that. It's unfortunate what happened to NetDevil (if the news proves to be correct) but given the talent those guys have I don't believe they will remain unemployed for long.

Whatever I can do to help I will gladly do for JC to be passed to the community and giving it any forum space it needs.

I did read yesterday day that Lego bought the rights to Lego Universe from Gazillion and some of the NetDevil team that was covering that would be moved with that project.

While I have no firm information there are on going negotiations in regard to the future of Jumpgate and hopfully something positive can be salvaged from the current situation.

I along with many other members of the playing community still fully support the game and will continue to pay our monthly sub to keep the game alive.

I don't officially represent the community but on their behalf I would like to thank you D1 for your offer and support both are very much appreciated.
