I don't feel a wealth of confidence eminating from the fan base in general. !I! Pretty well? I'm not sure what niche you're looking at, there are always disaffected groups but the industry as a whole is stunningly healthy with no end in sight, really. https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2018-12-18-global-games-market-value-rose-to-usd134-9bn-in-2018 https://www.wepc.com/news/video-game-statistics/ (compare to the global film industry which is projected at $38bn in 2016 up to $50bn in 2020.)

You quoted profit curves. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough, but you've made your point several times over. !i! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shiningbrow 477 Report post Posted February 20 @Rick Meints what's Chaosium's stance on fan-made mods for games, e.g. Elder Scrolls' Oblivion or Skyrim? I.know some IP holders can be hyper-protective (eg Tolkien Estate), and so try to shut down such projects hard - lawyers, threats of being sued, etc... I live in China and have my own consulting company here. I've had this idea of getting an IT (Gaming) intern to do up a Glorantha/RQ mod. Interns in China are often unpaid. Sometimes, they'd get paid about the equiavalent of around $500US/£300 per month... (average salary here is about double that!) They usually intern for a few months (6??). 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Akhôrahil 1,230 Report post Posted February 20 The game is not even listed under their projects at this point, so it's surely years away if it will even happen. Paranoia might be a good game if done right... oh wait, collaboration with Cyanide, never mind then... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill the barbarian 1,398 Report post Posted February 20 I loved Paranoia! Great game! So, I would love to see this come to computer gaming. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2018/03/08/cyanide-to-adapt-pen-and-paper-rpg-paranoia-to-pc/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But again, Cyanide. Their entire business model is getting licenses and churning out half-assed games that sell enough on the brand to make a profit.

They have even routinely and repeatedly managed to mess up Blood Bowl, something that shouldn't even be possible. I don't think they have ever made a good game.

So, I would love to see this come to computer gaming. https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2018/03/08/cyanide-to-adapt-pen-and-paper-rpg-paranoia-to-pc/ The Paranoia game actually already came out a couple months ago on the Epic store. It got very little fanfare or attention -- I didn't know about it until yesterday -- and reviews were not great. Apparently earlier this month it was quietly pulled from the only place that was selling it, and its store page was deleted. No one has said why. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not really sure what you are specifically asking me, but I believe the answer is "no". You cannot use our IP for anything computer game related that will be free, for profit, shared, distributed, or any combination thereof. We have an exclusive license with a software company. If you have a project in mind, please email mob at chaosium, who is our head of licensing. He can best determine what is or isn't possible. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
