Telltale King's Quest timeline

At least the lack of information is consistent... Back when I was 12 and would try to pry new game information out of the Sierra customer service people they'd all say different things.

Even if you went to visit Sierra, you couldn't even talk about what you saw. You had to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

For various reasons (I previously alluded to the fact in several threads), I've moved out most of the third party references from Trowe/Replay from 2012, and onward to its own secondary timeline in the timeline thread.

This is important, since its very difficult to trust or verfiy anything Trowe may have said or posted prior to the June 2012, due to the fact that he was actively trying to sabotage competing companies at the time. He was caught doing it in June. He apologized later. However, that still leaves anything prior to June potentially suspect.

I added in a short reference to the cotroversy in the timeline at its correct point in the timeline, as it does relate to the Replay history, and this topic. In addition i've added the Trowe interview, published on April Fools 2013 (It doesn't seem to be a 'joke' ), as it is the latest information from Trowe/Replay and their third party attempts at getting the King's Quest license. It does seem to be partially a retelling of the previous claim made in April 2012, but with a few alternate details.

Hopefully verification from Activision, and Telltale will be forthcoming.

Pulling out the Josh Mandel 3rd Party comments to its own section. As it may not be as reliable, and more speculatory than anything. Also I don't have a strong direct reference to the 2011 quotes, its someone quoting him, but no specific citation to the original source. Hopefully not putting anything Josh's mouth.

Edit: found an archive of the original quote, now updated.

Yeah, I'd paraphrased Josh's comments in my original post -- out of some deference to the casual setting of the chat (I didn't want him to get in any trouble by saying anything off-the-cuff-ish in a room of fans). The last sentence seems particularly candid.
