Rejected

I marked my many positive reactions to the brilliant wish lists. My first aim is to thank everyone for their constructive efforts. That being said, the premise of the thread is "leading the witness". Since negotiations have apparently proceeded to this point, I will join @Castrum in being the messengers of adverse news: I may want nothing from a "licensed" game, given the current state of "IP". The vast majority of agreements with which I am familiar make the licensee almost as subservient as a subsidiary, without the benefits of actually being one. A one way street to the same destination [many descriptions of which would violate forum terms...😉]. Supporting the maintenance of this public resource is a justified expense for me. Any 'final sale' arrangement, either for purchase of past or development of future assets will also find my full backing. But I am fighting every day to avoid ever again giving to organizations whose raison d'etre is the highest form of piracy. There are plenty of other toys to enjoy that won't hurt people.
