I've done a bit more digging and stuff is coming to light.
It appears that Crystal Interactive was a dodgy outfit Mr De Vries was associated with. He then left and founded XingInteractive, apparently in some disgust at Crystal's tactics.
It's not clear what the deal is with Xing - but their does seem to be some unhappiness over the level of communication devs have received after having had their games accepted for publication.
Will keep investigating.
Wish Puki would get in on it too ;-)
