Hmm, you're right. Darn box font.

Shame it's a completely different category of product, otherwise it might cause Intercrap lawyers to come out of the woodwork (or the closet) and clarify the FS liscence position.

Drat.

yeah, i'm sure Volition could sue a multi-trillion dollar company, and they may even get something out of it (naaa, they wouldn't :) ) but in the end they'd be the losers ;)

you can't sue a massive company, without massive funds ;7
Title: Freespace 3 available NOW!!!!
Post by: WMCoolmon on July 08, 2004, 02:08:45 am: So we need to find another multi-trillion company to sue them.

Meaning what we need is a DeLorean.

or if either Microsoft or EA buy what's left of interplay :p
Title: Freespace 3 available NOW!!!!
Post by: WMCoolmon on July 08, 2004, 03:29:36 am: If Microsoft buys Interplay, yeah, they might take it to court...hell, they've been patenting practically everything they can, like double-clicking.

But then in that case I'd be rooting for Bose. Microsoft doesn't strike me as the community-friendly type, and I'm not sure I want to see how they'd mutilate Freespace.

I haven't heard much of EA, but what I've seen seems to indicate bloatware galore...

Microsoft made Freelancer. They have a reasonable track record with the genre...

Not that you need to bump No Supernova? anyway... the link is right there in your title. :p

Post by: Grey Wolf on May 31, 2005, 12:18:41 am: I actually would ressurect both Poor Setekh and TaS, but unfortunately I doubt they'd turn out anywhere near as well as they did before, and they'd probably get closed within a few moments.
