Stargate: SG-1 Cancelled, Studio Closes
Posted on January 23rd, 2006 by Frank Cifaldi 
A message board post by a moderator on the official website for Perception Studio’s Stargate: SG-1 indicates that the game, which has been in development for quite some time and has even gone as far as Alpha-level focus testing, has been cancelled.
The game, initially in development for crapflinger JoWood Studios (Yetisports, Neighbors from Hell 2), was dropped last year because the game, according to JoWood, satisfied “neither our quality requirements nor the fans expectations.” Perception countered these claims by reporting that JoWood, essentially, hadn’t been paying them, and was in breach of contract.
Small, independent publisher Namco (Pac-Man, Soul Calibur, Katamari Damacy) stepped in and assumed publishing rights for the game that didn’t meet JoWood’s high quality expectations (Gorky Zero, ITCH!, Keep the Balance) but, unfortunately, the licensing rights were never obtained from Stargate’s owner, MGM, and financial instability has killed the game - and, very likely, Perception Studios - for good.
