I don't really understand what Wardell was hoping to accomplish by posting here in the first place, convince the six of us who use the forum that we should buy SC Origins? I don't get it.
He's tenacious, that's for sure. He's literally everywhere I look in regards to SC right now... UQM, here, reddit, YT Comments, QT3 forum...
Hell, I thought this forum was the same as UQM... didn't realize I didn't have an account here too.
I'm on the same boat as you. I want to know what happens after the Sa Matra... I don't care if the game is called Star Control.
that would be like if the BBC said "We created The HitchHiker's Guide to the Galaxy" and subsequent releases by Douglas Adams continued to use all the characters and simply renamed the Guide into The Book....
Now if someone else bought the rights to H2G2, I'd probably give it a chance and read it... but if Douglas Adams were to continue the story of Ford, Arthur, etc... under a different title. If those people bought those rights to H2G2 tried to stop him from doing that... I'd be upset with those people.
I don't care about the law or the copyright or any of that legal bullshit... I'm here to find out what happens next in the god damned story.
So, in that respect, I'm always on F&Ps side.
*edit - I also understand Brad's want to protect his assets and his company. I just feel like some things they've done in all this have really soured me to ever consider anything from them again. i was super appreciative that they refunded me my Lifetime Founder pledge. I wish I had more time to put into the Alphas, Betas, playtesting and vault stuff, I just didn't end up having the cycles to really get involved.
