GameSpy: For Shadows of Undrentide, you're collaborating with FloodGate Entertainment. How did this relationship come about?

Ray: We've been following FloodGate for a while. We have great respect for the people at Looking Glass, many of whom are now at FloodGate. System Shock is one of my favorite games. It's an example of some of the stuff that the caliber of people at FloodGate have done in the past. When we talked with them, there has always been a mutual interest in working together on things. We knew we had an opportunity, and they had some people that were free, and we thought it was a good way to kick things off potentially as well as getting to know them. They approached us and we started talking about ways to work together -- things seemed to go from there pretty much.

Greg: We thought it was a nice way to try and create more products. We could work on things more broadly without having to do all the work ourselves, sharing the workload. It's been pretty good.
