Herve is at it again - repurchases Freespace IP from THQ's corpse for $7500

[Santander02]

From what I understand, Interplay already had the IP and Publishing rights, but Volition owned the development rights, when Volition got sold off during the THQ mess, it's new owners realized that just having the development rights doesn't allow them to do a damn thing with the game, which wouls explain why they sold them off that cheaply, maybe.

Still, with this my fears of FS being resurrected as an AAAAA propiety (or knowing the current interplay, some iphone crap) have taken one step closer to becoming a reality. Burn in Hell, Herve.

I look forward to them doing absolutely nothing with the IP.

Now we know the next spacesim kickstarter, and it was so cheap... 7.5k only. if I knew it was for sale at that price I would have bought it myself

I would have thought that Herve would have learnt from the FO Online fiasco that it's not enough to own the rights to a game - you actually need a fair few million in the bank to actually MAKE the thing.
