The Fall of Stainless Steel Studios

According to one interview, Goodman blamed the shutdown of his company on Midway. In that interview, the details quotes studio founder Rick Goodman as blaming Rise & Fall publisher Midway Games for the developer's fiscal insolvency. He reportedly told Gamestar that after the PC strategy game's release was pushed from October to early 2006, Midway cut off advances to Stainless Steel, which in turn had to lay off its staff due to lack of funding. Midway had stated in a report that it will continue to work on the game and released it in June 2006.

I’m surprised that a collegebred man like you hasn’t more sense. Don’t monkey with the buzzsaw.”
