This is true.  I was one of those Chronicle players.  Apparently RTG licensed Chronicle from
Frontier Games in the UK.  Unfortunately the game was not completely programmed when RTG got it,
and Frontier did not keep up their obligation to complete it.  RTG froze the game on July 1, and
all Chronicle players are supposed to have gotten a $25 dollar credit to their RTG accounts.
Why RTG would have licensed a game as incomplete as Chronicle was remains a mystery.

Very likely, though I agree with the other poster that this is also very unsatisfactory.
