I remember some very spirited discussions about this console system. It has been said that the CEO is a con man, who manages to get people to invest in these technologies and other ventures, sets up as the CEO/Director and pulls a sweet salary with benefits, probably cashes in shares, stocks etc. and then the idea crumbles, but this guy, and I guess whoever he sets up with, walk away millionaires. Of course, the investors lose their money, and who knows what happens to any staff they hire in the interim.
I guess, that according to the books this is legal, but I find it highly highly unethical. :-\ "JonSmith writes "According to Gamespot, Infinium's Phantom 'Game Service' is officially on hold, with no expected release date whatsoever. The final price tag for this misty chunk of technology? US$62.7 million dollars. Shall we savour the moment? I think so."
