But again, all the art and code in the Titanium client 100% is copyrighted ... which is why R&N won't touch it with a ten foot pole.

I like your dream... I really do. I would love to see an updated relaunch of EQ or EQ Next that we have been promised for so long. like I said before I just dont see them having the capital to cover the RnD that would require and cover their debt obligations. UNLESS they get a huge private investor. which that would really be a dream and I would absolutely buy a subscription to try it out. | |||

The analogy here would be like painting the same exact thing using a different type of paint. | |||

It's pretty well-established that the above case is legal: you can go into your local book store and find a "Dungeons and Dragons for Dummies" that is basically a "copy" of the Player's Handbook ... but because it's written with completely different words, from scratch, WotC isn't going after the Dummies people. Or, for another analogy, thing about video game emulators. You can download tons of emulators of various video game systems, even though they duplicate (but don't copy) code from the original NES, SNES, etc. The emulators are 100% legal ... it's the ROMs that are a copyright problem, because they are literal copies of old NES cartridge code.

1 company recently changed names - they usually only do that for mergers or to avoid legal litigation under a previous name 2 a few of their top exec's have jumped ship and sold out but still retain partial ownership 3 they list companies that a few of their developers have worked on but no specific games they worked on, if they had worked on Fortnite you can bet they would list it 4 they are in an incredible aggressive over leveraged expansion 5 they fail to preform even close to industry metrics on any charts and far underpreform 6 most of their financial ratios are in the toilet 7 they took out 900 million while acquiring a company for 300 million ( also yes I understand they arent issuing this debt all at once, it will be through offerings) 8 disregarding the 900 million and looking at the 300 million they bought it for and their own projected returns you are looking at 12-13 years just to pay back the principle before they see a return. In the gaming world theres a lot of games that come and go within 13 years and their projections can dwindle quickly if they cant provide new content. - compare it to the blue population once green opened up. no new content people look for other stuff. I simply dont see them having the capital to maintain or get a return and still being able to develop new content. | |||
