"Gathering of Developers exec's leave Gathering of Developers to form Gathering of Developers"
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't "Former Executives of Gathering of Developers (G.O.D.) Announce New, Independent, Artist-Driven Video Game Publishing Company" the exact same mission statement that GOD had when it was created?
What makes them think the exact same business model will exceed where GOD sort-of failed?
