First off, moiseschiu, I applaud how well you have handled this case so far. I've read through the AMA and you seem to have ample experience with this sort of situations. While it's bad, and Paul seems to be unwilling to accept the reality (and severity) of this situation, your discreetness, sincerity and will to inform give off a vibe that there are better times ahead for N-Control. It also gives the outside world a point of contact and a source of verifiable information, which was lost on many as the whole thing exploded. As soon as Paul realizes he also is subject to law and order, I hope his bubble of megalomania finally bursts.

Something I wondered about earlier: Do you know if the initial conversations between Paul Christoforo and Kotaku could be considered digital libel? As he used Brandon Leidel's AvengerControl email address, as well as signed with his name, I would say this classifies as impersonation/identity theft. At the moment Brandon Leidel didn't work for N-Control anymore I believe. Brandon later stated that he had not sent those emails, so the facts are pretty clear here. I have no affiliation with Kotaku but I read the conversation there.

The only console I own is a SNES, so sadly I'm not in the market for an Avenger Controller, however, I do wish N-Control the best of luck with their current and future endeavors.

When after installing a game you saw that big green W in a blue electrical orb, you knew you were about to have lots of fun.

My ever-lasting gratitude to one of the greatest game studios I have ever laid eyes upon, I started with the little known Dune 2000, which was the first PC game I ever bought after I played Dune 2 at my dad's workplace. Then Tiberian Sun (and its expansion) and Red Alert 2 (and its expansion) brought me into the world of game modding (FinalSun/FinalAlert), which inspired me so much I took up CS. Now, as a MsC in CS, I still look back to those olden goldies and wonder how you guys ever pulled it off. It all worked so well together, the atmosphere, the gameplay, the graphics, the cutscenes, especially given the rather limited hardware specs from back in the day!

If I'm not the only one, I'd like a Westwood AMA, how did it start, what did the offices look like, how were the teams structured, what were some key moments in its existance, etc...

Westwood defined RTS.

What is - in your opinion - the most underrated app on Ubuntu?

What is Canonical's stance on software patents? Isn't the mobile industry an overly aggressive playing field where anything goes at the moment? E.g. Rockstar Bidco et al.
