Ad for a software company that has yet to release a game. The link opens a page with nothing more than the box art and a pitch for distributors. - Lucky 6.9 18:50, 14 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Keep: As the creator of that article I'd like to apologise if it sounds like an advertisement but there isn't much more currently available on that subject as the company just announced their existence and intentions in these last couple of weeks. Regarding the site, it's the official company site and for a just emerging company and site you couldn't really expect anything more on it. Edit: That doesn't appear to be the box art but rather an elaborate navigation system. Quoth 03:51, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Re-add when/if they do something of note. Exploding Boy 05:56, Jul 15, 2004 (UTC)
- Many adventure game enthusiasts find the companies creation alone to be of note, being as the development team is made up of many ex-LucasArts members, people who made some of the most consistently enjoyable adventure games (LucasArts Adventure Games) from the early to mid nineties until LucasArts started focusing on Star Wars action titles and cancelled any adventure game development or planned projects.

- Keep. The article does not read like an ad, and the a search for the company name yields 5500 hits on Google. It does seem quite notable for a company that hasn't released any products. It may turn out to be all vapour, but then that is an interesting fact. It's better to keep it around than to delete it. David Remahl 16:13, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. They don't deserve an advert on the Wikipedia more than any other small software company (including companies that have actually released products.) Notoriety first, Wikipedia article second. --Ardonik 03:10, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)
- Keep. As an adventure game enthusiast, I can safely say that the anticipation many of us are facing for the release of the company's first game is enormous. As the company consists of members from Lucas Arts that created the legendery Monkey Island, it is undoubtedly going to be a huge hit in the adventure gaming industry. With this in mind, adventure gamers would disagree with any statements that view this company as being as any other small company because they have developed credentials beyond that of a normal adventure game company. To put it shortly, this article more than deserves a place on Wikipedia. Mystique 11:50, Jul 18 2003 (UTC)
- FYI, this (VFD vote) is User:Mystique's first Wikipedia contribution. —David Remahl 13:58, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. 1 because of non-notability 2. because of creator's use of sock puppets which are naughty. Dunc_Harris|☺ 18:20, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- 'Just' one (possible) sock puppet so far. Unless you're implying I, the other keep vote, am one. —David Remahl 18:52, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Not that I suppose I could sway your opinion on the matter but I'd personally feel a little better if I at least was on the record as saying that I denied use of a "sock puppet". I thought it as perhaps an adventure gamer spurred from the shadows as it may be, for the first time to voice their opinion. I'd also like to think if I was to make a fake entry that it would not have been as copy/paste and essay structured, it's not how I write. Quoth 02:09, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- For your information, I decided to voice my opinion for the first time on Wikipedia because the very idea of deleting this article was absurd. The article does not read like an advertisement and the company is worthy of noting. So you need not worry about 'sock puppets' because believe it or not, this company is very significant and there is more than just Quoth who thinks so. Mystique 16:54, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
- Delete. Wikipedia is not an index of businesses. When this company is a household name, we can have a nice article on it. Jeeves 00:15, 19 Jul 2004 (UTC)
