Wasteland 2 to Include Original

The release of Wasteland 2 will also include the original Wasteland, reports The Verge, quoting Brian Fargo saying that the inclusion of the original version of the post-apocalyptic RPG was the number one request they received during the fundraising campaign for the sequel, and that EA has been cooperative in making this happen. "It is great to be able to make Wasteland available for those feeling nostalgic or who want to experience it for the first time," says Fargo. "It certainly will not be a pre-requisite to understand Wasteland 2, but it adds some extra flavor if you did play the prequel." Thanks VG247.

Wait, EA still owns the Wasteland IP? And they're letting Wasteland 2 get made?
I think people were talking in general terms about releasing old games.

As for wasteland, my understanding is they own everything specifically W1, but Fargo owns the trademarks for Wasteland stuff like the name. That happened a number of years ago, long before kickstarter was popular. I don't know if there was a deal made with EA about it, but remember how he announced that one of the digital platforms for WL2 would be Origin? If there was a deal, it probably included allowing EA to put it on whatever digital platform they wanted.
