Yeah, I know, but that's why I suggested the name change.

Well, it was just a thought.....

I guess the other thing that got me going on this subject is that Civ3 was a BIG dissapointment, not just to me but to a lot of people. The CTP2 forums on Apolyton have picked up alot in the Last month, and I expect them to pick up more after Play the World is released (or escapes ).

I know that running your own company is probably pretty time intensive, but could it hurt to investing 30 minutes to see about expanding your line up? This is potentially a good ROI, even if it takes some effort to set it up.

Well, I won't bug you about this, you have a successful company, you must be doing something right.

what would it take to find a developer and buy the rights and source code to CTP2 from Activision?
More money than Shrapnel has ever seen would be my first guess.

Yeah, I bet it would cost millions to get the rights to any commercially published game that's made any money. Even a flop would probably cost you several hundred thousand because that's the kind of money put into producing it.
