I think in this case you have to give benefit of the doubt to Retro Gamer. They were duped big time.
One of the editors says that they're disappointed by Mark telling a completely different story to Eurogamer on their own forum.
Imagine if it was a legitimate mistake (which it's not but bear with me). You've just had a free 2 page spread in Retro Gamer, and suddenly realise they've written saying the Amiga version is coming out when it was just an idea. Wouldn't you be on the phone to Retro Gamer magazine as soon as possible and clear the story up? Get something ready for the next issue, post on the forums etc? And the first thing would be to mention it on the System 3 website of course. That would be the logical thing to do. And did any of that happen? Of course not.
What does that slimeball Mark Cale do instead? He goes behind their back to a completely different publisher, and gets more publicity to effectively blame Retro Gamer for publishing the article.
One of the guys on EAB is friends with someone at Retro Gamer and
posted this information about it:
"Okay, I've been in touch, and the editor of Retro Gamer Magazine has whole heartily agreed that Mark Cale is an obsessive liar for taking advantage of the Amiga community like this scamming pre-orders on a Fault promises of releasing a lost piece of software is is an complete and utter lie and would not of ran this news story known before hand."
Overall, go easy on Retro Gamer. Mark Cale is the jerk-off here, not Retro Gamer magazine.
