Now, Gentlemen... I will point out that this is specifically stated to be a thread "just for you" (me) for making observations and asking questions to cast doubt on our collective hope!
Such as, what do we do if NCSoft doesn't say no but also never says yes?
Does that keep all efforts on hold forever?
And, is NCSoft ACTUALLY putting significant effort into the negotiations? Have they done anything more than, say, a meeting, lunch, couple of phone calls and a couple memos to/from legal and then two/three months of "maybe we can get back to you next month"?
Will somebody PLEASE tell me I'm full of crap!
(Having my spirits lifted sounds a HELL of a lot more fun)
Well.... I can't say your full of crap BUT I can speculate that you are.
I will say that I seriously doubt that the team involved. Wouldn't be able to tell if NC Soft was just trying to blow them off. If NC Soft was just running them around in circles. Then they would of said so by now or done something to get NC Soft's attention.
As I said in my previous post. We got a lot of details on the deal so far. (I'm going off the top of my head here. So some of this might not be accurate).
1: NC Soft is willing to sale the IP to an Independent party.
2: We'll get the CD image of i23
3: (this is the one that has my hopes up the most) eventually we'll get CoH 1.5. Why would they agree to something like that. If the negotiations weren't going good?
And as IronWolf said. You're focusing on "this" deal. Even if this deal doesn't go threw, we know the people negotiating on our end. So we'll have a good idea of how better to approach them next time, and the time after that and the time after that.
Now EVEN if that doesn't work, we still have that whole shadow thing laying around here somewhere.....
