Gamesindustry also has word that the outstanding lawsuits and various claims against the publisher still stand and will be defended by Digital Jesters. Myriad will not play a part in the hearings because they didn't purchase the company and therefore did not incur any of its debt.
"We've big plans for the DJ group," according to Myriad Interactive boss Marco Landi, who was formerly president and COO of Apple Computer. "We've already set up our infrastructure, and it's our intention that this new group will quickly grow through expansion and acquisition into a real major player."
