IncGamers' Bill Vaughan takes a look at all the MMO news from the past week, which this time includes updates on Global Agenda, DC Universe Online, Star Wars: The Old Republic, Stargate Worlds, All Points Bulletin, Mortal Online and Champions Online.
Massively.com has reported that Cheyenne Mountain Entertainment has sold the rights to Stargate Resistance, the game made to fund the development of Stargate Worlds, to a new company called Fresh Start. Fresh Start is a startup group consisting of former Cheyenne Mountain Entertianment employees, meaning that the makers of the game still have control over their property. This move further distances the game legally from the CME name, and specifically CEO Gary Whiting.
This is such a shame. What a waste. Stargate fans around the world are not pleased to see this company file chapter 11 bankruptcy dashing their hopes of the launch of the Stargate Worlds massively multiplayer online role playing game.
WorthPlaying is reporting that Stargate Resistance will be hitting store shelves on Feb 11, 2010.
IncGamers has spoken to Cheyenne Mountain about its financial situation, and the state of its long awaited MMO, Stargate Worlds. Things are looking up for SGW, but the company still needs investment to be able to finish the game.

MMORPG.com writes: The next week and a half may finally bring resolution to the curious case of Stargate Worlds. According to a former employee who has recently left the company, Firesky has until August 1st to raise capital or MGM will pull the license. At this time, the company's last hope appears to be a group of doctors who are considering an $8 million investment into the company. This cash infusion would keep the company alive, allow it to pay off back wages and launch Stargate Worlds. However, our anonymous source does not believe that the deal will get done...
Myth-Games: Kevin Balentine as released a statement assuring everyone that Stargate Worlds is still in development. The statement read as follows: I've been asked from many corners lately to provide an official response to a story circulated by Gateworld.net. I spoke with Darren Sumner, the author of the story, soon after it was posted and gave him a detailed response to the article which he decided not to publish. Our official response is that the lights here are still on and the development team is working hard every day to get this game built. Team members are in the office seven days a week to deliver Stargate Worlds. Brad Wright is the Stargate expert and a creative consultant on Stargate Worlds who advises us on the story; unfortunately we had not recently updated him on our progress or the impact from the current global economic crisis, and he was not fully aware of the continuing progress on our game.
