wait a sec if all of interplay is worth $230k, how much _could_ just the rights to freespace (game nobody gives a damn about that sold poorly 5 years ago) be?

normaly I'm pesemistic about this sort of stuff but, if the whole company is only worth $230 then there might be a hope.

In dire times, it is necessary to dire tasks to make the money we need for the rights to our precious.

     So what may you do to further our great community? Whore yourselves, family members and friends to make that 120 grand!

     Now all we need is a motto....


Whore your mother, so we can have another!!

Stock value means very little. At the time of the big Apple crash a few years back the companies value fell to $4 Billion. At the time they had $10 Billion in the bank. Had anyone been in a position to buy they could have doubled their money and got a computer company thrown in for free :lol:

It's quite possible for the stock value of a company to be less than the value of its assets.

That said I still believe the rights for FS2 might be available cheaply.
