GDW rumor

This was posted on internet news  ..  (AB)USEnews and I thought
I might as well post it here too, to quell any rumors:

By the way, Malcolm is an electronic friend of mine, and he is not prone
to make up wild stories... pass them on, sure... :)

I just called GDW and asked them about this and other things.

My questions and the answers are:

1) Has GDW gone bankrupt or bust?

No.  They are still in business.

2) Do you have any idea how this rumour could have gotten started?

No.

3) When will Traveller : The New Era  come out?

Mid to Late April.

NOTE:  My own observations have seen GDW say one month and end up putting
it out 4 months laters.  I'll believe it when I see it.  However, the demo
teams are supposedly getting packs fairly soon.

4) Are you still putting out Dangerous Journeys ?  (Personally, I don't
like the game, but since it might be of interest to a few people, I asked.)

Yes.


5) What happened to your 800 number?  (toll free long distance number for
those people in the US.   I used regular long distance.)

We no longer have that service.


Once again, GDW is still in business.
This should dispell a lot of rumors.

I spoke to someone in customer service.  She was very pleasent, but I
didn't get her name.  Their number is:[phone removed].
