Admittedly posting in a VG thread is just adding another turd to the outhouse, but whatever.
Sure it might be barely fiscally manageable to continue development, but keeping MMOs on life-support indefinitely is SOE's specialty, and Sigil probably wants to forget this abortion of a "next-gen" MMO ever happened, cut their losses and move on to a new project. They got a $5-10M return on what, $30mil investment CONSERVATIVELY speaking? If SoE offers them $20mil for complete ownership... they break even, a relatively good deal. Whatever trickle of subscribers VG maintains - let's be generous and say 100k = 1.5mil/month = $18mil/year - that's barely going to cover infrastructure and development, when you consider Sigil's paying off VG's inital pricetag, plus the significant chunk that SoE is no doubt taking, the annual profit VG is making is minimal if anything at all.
