[REQ] BUY the rights on SH5 on our own?!

06-22-10, 07:21 AM

Instead of trying to mass community buy the SH sourcecode. Which even if they ever gave you it, you'd be tied into a deal where you never released it for sale and they would probably still technically 'own' anything you write. Why not use the power of the community to raise funds to begin a small development company and write our own perfect subsim? I mean, your literally talking hundreds of thousands of pounds/dollars to buy Ubi's code, why not make our own better one?

I personally would never, ever donate to fund buying the source from ubi, it would be a dead investment. However, I think I probably would happily part with my money to help start a subsim.com naval game development company!

Just my two cents.
