Production
Dominion was originally being developed by 7th Level before they sold the unfinished property to Ion Storm in September 1997. It was eventually released as Ion Storm's debut title in June of the next year. According to some former Ion Storm employees, the game title had originally been intended to be bought only to "burn" one of the 6 game "options" that Ion Storm had contracted with Eidos as part of a royalty deal, and only on the basis that it was an almost complete game that would be easy to finish. However, the costs of completing it turned out to be much higher than expected, and the game sold very badly.

Famous quotes containing the word production:
“It is part of the educator’s responsibility to see equally to two things: First, that the problem grows out of the conditions of the experience being had in the present, and that it is within the range of the capacity of students; and, secondly, that it is such that it arouses in the learner an active quest for information and for production of new ideas. The new facts and new ideas thus obtained become the ground for further experiences in which new problems are presented.”
—John Dewey (1859–1952)
“The myth of unlimited production brings war in its train as inevitably as clouds announce a storm.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
“From the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.”
—Charles Darwin (1809–1882)
