Wikipedia about JoWooD
JoWooD Productions is an Austrian computer game publisher, founded in 1995.
A selection of their popular games include the action roleplaying games in the Gothic series, the Spellforce series and the Industry Giant series of games.
On November 4, 2006, JoWooD announced the acquisition of DreamCatcher Games, in efforts to move to the North American gaming markets.
Poor game support
Jowood has a poor reputation among Western gaming fans. It has often been accused of forcing developers to release games before they are finished, resulting in releasing buggy games, and providing poor support in patching/fixing these games afterwards. Examples include Railroad Pioneer, Rally Trophy, Gothic 3, and The Guild series.
Legal battles
In August 2005, JoWood attempted to dump one of their developers, Perception Pty, because of a lack of quality on their "Stargate SG-1" product, however JoWood carried out these actions believing that they owned the IP developed by Perception, which was false. A legal battle ensued, with both companies demanding compensation from the other.
Many other developers and business partners have parted ways with JoWooD as well - quite a few times legal quarrels or even court action have ensued.
