Comments
Mayfair / Lookout
The news article regarding the Mayfair/Lookout situation was a bit off. The first title is Caverna, Glass Road isn't even a Lookout title. The older titles won't go to Mayfair until the existing licences expire.
Good correction
Yes indeed, we got that wrong. Glass Road is published by Feuerland NOT Lookout Games. I think the Uwe Rosenberg connection was what tripped us up.
Thanks for straightening things out. We'll be sure to mention this on the next show.
