Oh well nobody really bought their stuff anyways.

[stop whining buy a mag]

A guy at my local field plays with a Diadem every once in a while and I'm actually impressed with it. Everything they said in their letter was true. The large companies control the paintball market.

[FlawleZ]

Interesting. It's kind of sad but it's the cold, hard truth.

That sounds familiar...

[DiSoRdeR]

Sad news to hear, always loved Illusions. Im not enjoying what Paintball has become...

[minimag03]

I can't believe Bud is dumb enough to think Palmer will not do something.

[Kevmaster]

Durn...so all 8 people who own Action Markers will no longer have a company to suppor them.... eh

[Soopa Villain17]

i friggen hate smart parts and k2 , they suck, all they do is ruin paintball with there greed

[vonort]

Love my Sentinel. And the Illusion I had was a very nice marker. Just not my style, I prefer the phantom. AM made some good equipment. Unfortanately, ignorance is bliss in the paintball community. And if it don't say SP or WGP people think its not worth having. Oh well,, its only a matter of time before AGD is making the same kind of announcement. But thats ok.. cause I'm sure there will be plenty of ignorant people to post comments like.. "oh well nobody bought thier guns" or "oh boy all 8 people won't have a place to buy from"

Threat letter link

I find this line most disturbing

"As your attorney will advise you intellectual property litigation is very costly and time consuming"

Oh.. so basically, we have the money, you will bow down to us. Right or wrong doesn't matter, because you can't afford to fight us over a design that we might have stolen in the first place. I hope Glen Palmer puts a boot up....

[buzzboy]

Think thats bad read the fax. It makes the head dudes at WGP sound like holes

Over the last several years we have made many, many new friends and have really enjoyed the ride. Unfortunately we got to the party a little late. We sincerely appreciate all of the support that so many of you gave us and truly regret having to leave the market.


BTW... what ever happend to Dave Zupe?

AM crapped out, if they though they were right, they'd have fought. Apparently, though, they didn't think they could win in court.

And for the 34u5636583645863124856238547234th time, everybody wanted paintball to get big, but didn't want big business to follow. Get used to it. This is what comes with you wanting your little tight knit game on tv, in the spotlight, with money to be made.

[spantol]

Yes, because IP litigation is free when you're right...

Small company == meager cash flow == easy win for K2
