[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 5406343, member: 725"] It might have something to do with this: I appreciate it greatly that Matthew revealed that the SW license was picked up, I understand his frustration and also understand that he could have been a lot more clear on who now holds the license, but he didn't. Also keep in mind that the SW license hasn't had this much attention in the RPG/boardgame/miniatures market in a long while. I certainly don't think that when his competitor outbids him on a license he should bend over on request and not ask where that light saber is going to be used for... If it was FFG+GW, I seriously doubt it would be a shared license, I would suspect that GW would buy the miniature wargame rights outright and not bother with the rest. Pretty much the same they did with LotR. But if I look objectively at the matter, I doubt that GW is actually looking at another licensed property in this market. LotR took some serious hits when the movies where passé, I even have my doubts on whether there'll be a LotR game made by GW in 10 years. In two years the first part of the Hobbit movie, I hope that GW LotR holds out that long (I know there are some serious fans, but I doubt that it is as popular as 40k or even WFB at the moment). SW currently has no really big titles in the making, Bioware is doing an MMO (which could be big), but it really doesn't tie in with the most popular eras. And we all know how successful miniatures based on MMOs are (WoW CMG)... I do think that FFG is a good possibility, but I'll eat my hat if GW is involved. [/QUOTE]
