I wrote Dave Baranec an email about the whole DS/FS3 mess a week ago or so, and the following is the reply. Please note that this is NOT nessecarily the official Volition stance.

So, without further ado:

[q]
  • This is an unofficial statement, based solely on daveb's personal impressions.
  • It's most likely that no one picks up the FS license at all.
  • The FS license, if sold, would cost between $100k-$300k.
  • Many of Volition's employees are interested in picking up the license; but it's THQ's call.
  • Mike Kulas, the president of Volition, has made inquiries to THQ on the matter, but nothing else is certain on that front.
  • In the end, it's still possible that Smart may acquire the license, but THQ could do the same.
[/q]

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

I doubt Interplay will hand over the FS license purely to cover old debts. Interplay's in desperate need of money, so THQ would have to offer at least something. How about HLP chip in $50 grand?

I just got a PM from Dave saying that he didn't intend that email to be publicized. I am not a moderator in this forum, so one of you admins should probably remove that.

It's good to know his thoughts on this though. I did always think that something wasn't right about the way Smart was going about this license issue...

Could you do me a favor and pull that message from me out of that thread Sandwich started? That email wasn't meant for public consumption.

Thanks!


I think I was the only moderator online at the time so he sent me the message, but I can't do anything in the main forums.
