[QUOTE="Jaeger, post: 8851795, member: 27996"] It's interesting to note that it seems this poster glosses over the fact that the whole point of my posts is that the IP holder has less than six years to maximize profits before the Conan IP goes public domain. If one is looking to maximize licensing profits before public domain kicks in; they would be well advised to [I]Care Less[/I] if some 3e knockoff is 'popular' in France. You want to get that 5e cheddar! And with the 50th not-a-new-edition release coming up; it is a no-brainer. [SIZE=3][I](The astute will realize that I never said that such a Conan game would actually be good, or be something that I myself would have any interest in...)[/I][/SIZE] I readily concede that it is [I]possible[/I] that the current Conan IP holder with less than six years to profit off of licensing their IP - has no interest whatsoever in maximizing their ROI in the intervening years. I would find it odd, but it could be the case... When it comes to maximizing ones RPG sales, I don't have to think: I know [I]for a fact [/I]that any RPG company interested in high sales figures revolves around how many units they are able to sell in the American RPG market. Anyone that tells you different is "misinformed"... I highly doubt that Monolith is translating their upcoming Batman RPG into English just for kicks... In case I am being unclear; Yes, the RPG "world" does revolve around American RPG's; Because D&D. The hobby was literally invented here. And more people play RPG's here than anywhere else in the world. Project much? [/QUOTE]
