Derek Smart and Freespace 3? [Jul 15, 2004, 7:33 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
A speculative
question from 3000 AD's Derek Smart on the Adrenaline Vault Forums (thanks
Rake) polls interest in him acquiring the rights to Freespace 3, making the
following statements in a pair of posts:
....Derek Smart, yeah, that would be me, got the license from my friends at Interplay (a publisher I had very good experiences with); would you buy Freespace 3 if I made it?
Discuss. Rave. Rant. Argue. But this is something I am seriously considering, given that it looks like Interplay has started off loading properties (starting with Fallout3). I mean, just think. Would you rather see this legacy license fall into the wrong hands?
...
I have already contacted my Interplay contact about it btw.
Mr. Smart,
Clearly in your haste you missed the part of my response where I stated that "if you developed Freespace 3, I almost certainly would not purchase the game." If that doesn't register with you as a "no" answer, allow me to state clearly, for the record, that if you produced Freespace 3, I would not purchase the game. I don't believe I can make myself much clearer than that.
Also, Mr. Smart, I regret to inform you that my mother and father died in a house fire 6 years ago while I was off at college. However, if they were still alive today I believe you are correct - my parents would most likely have advised against me spending 60 of my hard-earned dollars on a game produced by an individual such as yourself.
Thank you for your thoughtful correspondence,
-A gamer.
