Egosoft at it again with the X series

just alot more ambitious and crazy as usuall

i love the X series

do you think blizzard will sell the warcraft IP when subs to WoW dip below a certain level?

i think they could get a lot of money off that

actually, they'll probably do what games workshop does with warhammer

are you suggesting that blizzard will create a wildly successful tabletop game franchise set in a fantasy universe?

no, i mean sub-licensing

which somehow, games workshop managed to get working properly

like they take the IP, and through a bunch of legal fuckery, they can sell one part of the IP to another company

or lease it

you mean where GW lets other people make stuff out of their IP but keeps the creative rights to it during production?

for a single product

which I think has worked out fantastically for them

uh, im not sure if that's what GW does

or wait, yeah i think they do do that

didn't they call it sub-licensing? I can't remember

i only learned it watching an extra credits video

I dunno, I just know that it works

yeah same

blizzard is has always lived in the creative shadow of warhammer, but they managed to shill in the right way

for instance, orcs in warcraft were created from spres

spores*

what really

same as in warhammer, only in warcraft, it's their ancestors

yeah, it's really dumb

that seems just blatant

how do you get away with that

lol, can you suffer through the video I'll link?

By shilling duh

I've always had this irrational hatred of blizzard because they helped murder CnC

it's really convoluted, and that's just the orcs sub-license

yeah fireweaver0 is basically correct

now your hate is finally warranted!

and only in the last few years I've also starting hating them because of the warhammer stuff

haha

@Deleted User The award I got this past Monday, but the tank I've had for almost 2 years now after a friend bought it for me(with the other $85 of extras)

they call it 'world of warcraft lore' as if it's somehow different from warcraft lore

irr blizzard did try and make a table top wow game that did fail as wow players did not have any real interest in a table top game at the time
