Well, personally I've become so stinking rich developing GWX... that it would be about like sucking blood from a turnip for those corporate lawyers.
It has never been our intent to break any law... and at the very least hopefully they'd show a little mercy on us... because I think we've probably helped sell one or two copies of SH3 for them.
Besides, adding money to the mix where GW is concerned... the project would have blown up in our face LONNNG ago.
We just wanted to make the game a touch better. I'm sure that had the time, money, and manpower been available to the SH3 devs... they would have given us all that we wanted to begin with.
Honestly, I can understand now in a rather intimate way, how difficult building a simulator (or even overhauling it) can be and why they would want to protect it above and beyond "money." Work with a thing long enough and you feel beholden to it!
Had I known how tough the road would be by taking responsibility for such a thing... I may have never set foot on the path and it would be a moot point.
I just hope that they look favorably on what we have done with their "baby." I know the Devs are aware of GW/GWX... but I haven't got the slightest clue as to what they think of the effort.
