In Response To: Rubicon Rating in Arkives (:: Beer Can ::)

There's actually a longer story behind Rubicon's "panning" from Frigidman-

FM spent a bunch of money starting up the Evichra network, and designing and coding the thing. He wanted to make a download network for mac and PC mods, and cash in by selling banner ads. To publicize his project, he asked me if I would be willing to have Rubicon's release date on the same day as the marathon Arkive's opening, and to make them our exclusive download spot. Basically, he wanted to pump up his own site using the large press & public interest in Rubicon.

I told him that Evichra was welcome to mirror our game, but I wouldn't tie the two together. He got offended because Evichra was "his baby" and I essentially put it on even ground with our other mirrors.

He responded like a child. End of story.
