I bet it was fucking GT Interactive, the bastards.
we got it wrong, man. going by memory has it's drawbacks. must be getting old. at least we have Oddjob to use as a canary-in-the-mine, when he starts going senile we know we should top ourselves.

UNTIL THEN i shall continue to spread disinformation

Nope, it was Microsoft. They forced Munch's Oddysee to have their tone be cartoony and light-hearted to appeal to the Super Mario Bros. crowd, and made the game a launch title (which resulted in the rushed production).

Not really a surprise considering their corporate greed (killing off their free art/movie programs, forcing a paid subscription for Word, forcing Valve to charge for Left 4 Dead 2 maps that were supposed to be free, charging for playing online and resulting in their competitors also cheating their customers, etc.).

GT was bought out by Infograme (now Atari, SA;and was the same company responsible for the Driv3r scam), and probably would have slashed Oddworld's over $3,000,000 budgets.

Really bad circumstances during that time.
so it was Microcock. i shoulda known
