[quote="CAPPILIO"]After sporadic conversation on discord last night, I’m curious on what the current legal standing is with Myth of Soma. Has it ever been associated as a product of a private limited etc, I assumed there was a registered entity for somadev but I couldn’t find one listed on company’s house. I guess the game got approval for Steam, but the next steps would be to link the legal entity, in order to become listed & for tax purposes etc. My question is really? Why? The only thing I can think is maybe you guys were worried about copyright issues and so never registered as a legal entity? Regards Cap [/quote]

[quote="SAL3M"]It is abandonware - Soma will still likely be technically owned by some company somewhere but they have abandoned it i.e they won’t keep tabs on or pursue any copyright infringement. It will still be illegal for SomaDev to claim official ownership of it or charge for it though.[/quote]

[quote="VEGETO"]Why you worried about it. Move along[/quote]

[quote="GROSBURR"]Why does it matter? Just enjoy the game.[/quote]

[quote="RAZOR"]This disjointed conversation is a pain in the ass. He doesn't mean anything sinister by it, he is asking because if we get a legal entity for Soma then we can put it on steam as it was approved via the greenlight process before it was made redundant. More UC is good.[/quote]

[quote="CAPPILIO"]I ask merly as razor said, having soma available through steam would be a nice stepping stone, as per previous disucssions i think its currently the legal position that is holding it back on being dpeloyed. hence why the process seemed to halt after the greenlight[/quote]

[quote="ILEE"]More UC is good but the game isnt ready for a steam launch. Not in its current state. Its simply not new player friendly in the slightest. If someone told me I had to heal or do con for 3 months of my actual real life time I would just uninstall instantly before even doing the first quest.[/quote]

[quote="RAZOR"]Don't have to, Dan confirmed it's not worth doing int, also con can be done at any time.[/quote]

[quote="CAPPILIO"]....you only have to do that if your a hardcore player, playing to be the best.... if youve got to that point then youve probably already had multiple chars imo think about it, how many people started esoma and followed the perfect route for leveling?[/quote]
