That if any of us become rich and/or famous, we would use our power and influence to push Freespace.

This includes shameless plugs during interviews, in articles, and televised events. It also includes spending money on buying the rights from Interplay or whomever has them at the time, or, if they won't sell, buying them out.

Agreed?

Duh.

I've been planning on doing that for years.

Soon as I get the cash I'm buying the rights to FS3 and whoring it out like there's no tomorrow.

The only pact I will abide to is the one I signed with Satan... But seeing as I now 'outrank' Satan that pact has been declared null and void. :drevil:

The pact was about me not to get too evil. It'd make Satan look bad. In return I got The Axe of Doom™.
I AM GOD! AND I SHALL SMITE THEE!



...because I can :drevil:

Who said I was Satan?

I'm just a regular guy filled with more evil than some kind of cyborg Hitler running Windows 95.

hey, i would buy the rights, fund the SCP guys to work part/full time on getting it completely bug free and full of features, and start trying to publish it or something.

but then, i would have to get extremely rich.

extremely.

Well I'm not exactly Superman (Power) and neither does what I say (influence) compare to a Union Official, PM, or Media Exec. and just one question how do u intend to push Freespace literally?

Meh, we don't need power. Come the next "retail" release of the SCP, I'm chucking together an f-off huge plug for FreeSpace and sending it to all the major PC magasine publishers, as well as the major game-covering software news websites. But I won't be doing that untill the bug-crushing process is over.

 I can get some top notch eye-candy shots if you need them for that,  BTW. ;)

I was planning to do something similar, only on a bit smaller scale :)

The problem is, if someone gets interested how can he get the game?

well, yeah, crap.

the interplay store, but that is only for US citizens.

we could email Interplay if we are allowed to buy the game, and ship it to non us citizens for the price of the game plus P&P.


but that'd require quite a bit of work.

Hmm... there is HOTU but I'm not sure if magasines could publicly recommend it.

That said, isn't Interplay belly up now anyway? I'm guessing the rights revert to Volition when that happens - and they could in turn announce the software to be shareware. I'm just stabbing in the dark at this, but it'd be great to pimp the game some.

aldo_14, thanks very much - and I will take you up on that! But not now, I'd rather all shots of the new code were based on the latest bug free code - so that what we show is what people can indeed get.... showing the engine at its absolute best. I don't even want to start work on this untill the new build is out - the more concrete everything is, the better.

correction, There was HOTU.

someone pointed it out in the thread on Interplay getting kicked out of their office.

that same guy also mentioned 10 to 50 grand as a minimum pricetag.
