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. |
Yeah but if that was the case why would Sigil buy MS out in the first place? Why not just let it die and have the loss of the mythical and wonderful Vanguard be MS's fault for killing the project?
It doesn't make sense to me that Sigil would go out of their way to buy something with a good chance of failing, just to sell it off after actually "failing".
The only reason I would imagine Sigil didn't let VG fade into distant memory like WISH, etc... is because it's Brad and friends' baby. And I don't think that would change. I think Sigil would run themselves into bankruptcy, rather than selling-out which would more or less be conceding failure.
