Title: What if...
Post by: sgtbeil on July 26, 2008, 11:44:36 pm
What if...i could get interplay entertainment corp to sell the rights to the freespace name? i mean how awesome would that be? i am actually thinking about asking them about, and then i could sell them to microsoft or something and then they would make a kick ass freespace 3 or something

go ahead and try, I would not blame you for failing in that mission pilot, but remember stay focused and you might make it back alive

Please expound on the step connecting these two items! I am sure this plan will then become flawlessly implementable.

We can only imagine what is to come: FS360!

FreeSpacer.

As an interesting side note, the rights to FreeSpace cost an awful lot of money. Planning to buy them and then sell them to Mirco$oft makes little sense, since if Micro$oft were even remotely interested in the rights, they'd buy them straight away.

This is possibly the silliest idea I've heard. I mean, Microsoft? What you on, man? Can I try some? :wtf:

Look, it's never going to happen. Just move along and play some campaigns, then go away.

Say what you will about FS3 threads not being annoying anymore, this guy is being an asshat.

Proper HLP etiquette seems to have been ignored, indeed. On other instances as well, in addition to this one.

Incidentally, the FS3 threads aren't annoying themselves. It's more the fact that nothing new ever comes with them. It's always the same old "Hey, let's gather money and buy the rights!" or "Hey, I have money, I'll buy the rights!" or "Hey, let's make our own FS3!" ****. Hmm. Well, that Microsoft part was new this time.

Sgtbiel - FS3 threads aren't looked upon too kindly around here, as the somewhat vitriolic posts firther down should suggest. The current situation makes it unlikely that there'll be a sequel, and most people wouldn;t want one that isn't made by [V] anyway.

Please try and avoid threads like this in fututre, and everyone else, try to chill out a bit with the newbies, OK?
