The main thing I remember about this game is that it was financed by the fortune of a former MLB baseball player, independent of any game studio.

    Sort of. Their funding was also tied up in the state of Rhode Island. Reckoning was purchased by 38 Studios, who were making a Kingdoms of Amalur MMORPG, and then the game was made to be in the same universe. The MMO burned through cash and never released, and the sunken studio brought Reckoning's developer down with it.

    Yes, it was developed by Curt Shilling’s 38 Studios - but it was actually largely financed by the state of Rhode Island, and the studio ended up defaulting on payments!

    Honestly, the story of the game’s development was more interesting than the story within the game itself!
