Well... I can confirm that SGW is dead... lol apparently it has a lot to do with stuff related to the economy but also because the CEO decided to be a pirate and not pay the guys working on the development team. And I quote this from MMORPG.com thread.
Anyone that thinks CME has a snowball's chance in hell of releasing SGW ... ever needs their head testing. The company and CEO are in court being sued by unpaid employees, landlords, server providers and ex business associates and it's all being held together with pipe cleaners and sticky back plastic thanks to a pyramid scheme run by the CEO. Who incidentally is being sued by investors in his pyramid scheme and his many games companies including CME, CMG, cash sink studios (too many to mention) and Firesky. Also he's failed to pay most of the MMOGULs saps their due earnings already, especially after they got dumped by the credit card company and evicted to some ranch.
I've followed this nightmare since 2008 when they ran out of cash and employees went unpaid for 3 months and missed out on the christmas bonuses. By 2009 most had left, the second beta test never happened as they were and still are being sued by the company that provided the servers. No one is left working there from the original developers, even the graphics engine companies said what they were doing was un workable under ideal cirumcstances.
Now there's next to no one left working there with any real experience or ability, all trying to hash together some 18 month old code written by someone else for a different game! Even the most crazed optimist has to admit it doesn't look like it'll launch? CME owes millions of dollars as does the CEO, only holding off bankruptcy by dragging out the court cases. How does SGR have a chance of releasing? Yeah it's what a 3rd person shooter? 50% sure it won't have any MMOGULs in it? Well good luck guys, but I don't see one single reason why this company could even get this out on a DD. They couldn't even get SGW into a bloody beta test last year despite having the game ready to go, they couldn't pay for a server or any staff!
But hey stranger things have happened ..... actually no they haven't!
So... that about sums it up and also I'm glad to hear your getting your testing phase out for people
