: Hmm interesting response, a few points here.
: A) aquiring the full rights to myth would not only be
: impossibly expensive it would not lead to any real
: results. Consider if I (or any individual) were
: actually able to purchase the rights in-full. Chances
: are the expense in time and money merely to acquire
: the rights would likely consume all availble
: resources. In such a case, from what I can see, owning
: the rights is probably a counterproductive venture.
Aye, unless you had a lot more money. ;)
: B) If I was in this "for the money" then the
: entire concept of reviving the community or the game
: would be pointless. This is not a capitalistic
: venture, I'm not here to soclit talent to make money,
: if I was, I wouldn't expect to gain any headway or
: credibility with the people here. My intentions are
: not entirely driven by personal profit motives. Many
: of us care a common interest in seeing the game and
: the story continue on and regain a larger fan base.
Fair enough, and welcome to the club. :\
: C) I think that while my time here has been informative
: I've kind of gotten away from the point of me even
: posting to this site. What I mean is, with my small
: ammount of funds its not just a question of what can
: be done, but weather or notthe ammount of money and
: time I could contribute would actually be worthwhile.
: Throwing money at a problem doesn't usually lead to a
: real solution (read: public education), but it can be
: tempting to just burn money in a chaotic fashion and
: hope to achieve something. I am wondering if my ten to
: fifteen thousand dollars of investment could actually
: make a positive difference here, or is the sheer cost
: of any real attempt at reviving the franchise so far
: above what I could contribute as to make it a moot
: point.
: D) The fact that I'm not a very old and well connected
: member of this community does put me at a
: disadvantage, but I have taken a brief evaluation of
: whats going on, and while it is all very good and
: worthwhile, it is mainly done by and for members of
: the community that have been around for some time. In
: a sense its like a closed, close-knit clique. I
: certainly appreciate the patches to Myth 3, for
: example, but this is mainly because I've enjoyed all
: the games. Those who know Myth cherish it, somehow
: there has to be a way to actually bring more people
: in, question is, am I or any of us the ones to do it.
Okay, so you're not stupid and you seem sincere, so here's the thing: if you want to revive the Myth franchise then, as Iron put it to me last night, you're as well intentioned and utterly helpless as the rest of us - not that we aren't trying anyway. If you'd like to discuss this further anyway (I'm sure you'll get a slew of informative but conflicting opinions from everyone at Project Magma), and you have a Hotline client application, I suggest logging onto hl.udogs.net late one evening. You can also email me at ebreer@hotmail.com
