I´m NOT asking for FS3... but I would like to know who currently owns the rights to Freespace? Interplay told me, they wouldn´t have the rights anymore. I thought they would keep them...

That is rather odd. I think that maybe they've forgotten they own it

This is the first eMail:

---
Dear Gamer,

Thank you for your email!
The reason why there hasn't been much talk about Freespace and why we no longer sell it is because we no longer own the rights to that title.
I Hope that helps. Let me know if you need further assistance.


Sincerely,

Julio R.

and the second, after I asked who has gotten the rights:
---
Dear Gamer,


Sorry I don't have that information. Perhaps try contacting Volition, the developers.
Have a great day!

Sincerely,

Julio R.

Fascinating...so they did drop the ownership to FreeSpace.

I guess that means it falls back to Volition.

Interplay doesn't have the right to free space! Celebrate like it's 1999!



Forgive me for my spam. Post 999? One more 'til the BIG1?

I think it'd be freaky if there were V influences in the SCP, and when the engine is done, V'll take it over with a new story.

Nobody said V has the rights now. I´ve written two emails to them and still waiting for reply.

If Freespace 3 becomes a reality, I'll party like it's 999.

But this is really becoming interesting...

What will happen? Does IceFire fall into Darkblades menacing trap? Is this the end for our dark caped avenger!? Keep your eyes on this channel, on the same bat time, on the same bat channel!

Who is EricB?

If someone got the rights it would rather be THQ than Volition I think.

This does make one wonder, considering that FS is [v]´s best series. And they know it.

But then again, they have moved to consoles lately, so there's a chance this ain't happening... or worse, we'll get a console FS3
