Title: SpaceGameJunkie FS2 retrospective podcast
Post by: Goober5000 on October 01, 2014, 08:26:33 pm

So, apparently some old game just had its 15th anniversary, and some guys did a podcast on it...

You might remember SpaceGameJunkie from the previous podcast they did with The E on the Source Code Project, covered here...

If the $10k thing refers to Interplay's buyout from the remains of THQ then that's a totally misleading claim.

I thought it was something like 1700$ and it was for the "residual" rights

$7500, and yes, it was for the portion of the residuals owned by Volition. I doubt that the income from them is even worth that much.
