[QUOTE="Lord Rasputin, post: 7754976, member: 8410"] Who walked away, Harmony Gold or Palladium Books? Nobody has said; Siembieda's announcement is in the passive: Neither option is good for Palladium Books. If Harmony Gold chose not to renew the license, it means that it felt Palladium Books was an overall black mark on a property it's apparently going to lose itself in about three years. If Palladium Books walked away, it means it deliberately chose not to fulfill its Kickstarter, which is downright disgusting, even for Siembieda. I'm going with Harmony Gold making the choice myself. As for Strange Machine Games, I wonder if it is trying to get an inside track on Harmony Gold losing the rights to Super Dimension Fortress Macross in three years. (Does anyone know if Harmony Gold will also lose the rights to Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross or Genesis Climber Mospeada? Studio Nue owns the first property as well as Macross, though frankly I doubt it cares a whit about Southern Cross.) Come 2021, it can put out a new version with the names changed ("Hikaru Ichijo" for "Rick Hunter," "Valkyrie" for "Veritech," "Super Dimension Fortress Macross" for "Robotech," and so on) if it gets the Macross license from Studio Nue. And the giving of a game to the spurned Kickstarter backers is just a downright sweet gesture by a company that has no reason to do so. It makes me wonder of Harmony Gold gave Strange Machine Games some money for doing so, which again makes me think that Harmony Gold, not Palladium Books, walked away. [/QUOTE]
