Runemaster Studios, Inc. Leaves Alias

I found this press release and subsequent message board thread pretty interesting, if only because they include denials and a modest amount of dissembling from the Alias Enterprises camp over what was sold out, what didn't sell and so on. Also, the fact comes out that Alias books aren't yet available through Amazon.com, which is kind of astonishing considering how many micro-publshers use the on-line bookseller from the start. ICv2.com has a bit more on what exactly the breach in contract was, which sounds like the kind of thing you look for when you really just want the hell out, generally. The last time Alias did something that captured my notice it was for severely punting an ambitious line launch and barely breaking into the sales chart (as I recall, a Runemaster Studio effort was one of those books). Runemaster should have an easy time finding a place with another publisher.
