As you might know, we follow the development of these remakes closely, and if you do, too, this article offers a wealth of information. Here's a chunk: But what does the creator of Ultima think? For that answer, we spoke to Lord British himself (or Richard Garriott in the real world). "I take great joy in sitting down and looking at these projects on their websites," he said, "and perusing how they've upgraded the graphics, enhanced the conversations and upgraded the technology." But, legally speaking, the approval of Britannia's creator and 'Lord' isn't enough. Garriott has left Origin Systems, owned by Electronic Arts, and moved on to found Destination Games, working closely with Korean developer NCSoft (creators of Lineage: The Blood Pledge). Garriott is no longer the copyright holder of Ultima, only of his character and online avatar, "Lord British", so one might call Garriott a "lord in exile".
