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:
“Constant revolutionizing of production ... distinguish the bourgeois epoch from all earlier ones. All fixed, fast-frozen relations, with their train of ancient and venerable prejudices are swept away, all new-formed ones become antiquated before they can ossify. All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.”
—W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)
“... this dream that men shall cease to waste strength in competition and shall come to pool their powers of production is coming to pass all over the earth.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
