Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cergorach" data-source="post: 7939710" data-attributes="member: 725">Edge Entertainment has a long history with FFG, they have done many of the French/Spanish translations/publishing for FFG products, and in turn FFG did the English translations/publishing of the Anima games. So there already was a strong relationship before the buyouts by Asmodee.EE does have experience in making their own RPG(s), but they are far and few between (Anima being the one that is most well known). EE is only 4 years younger then FFG. Imho translating RPGs is a lot closer to making your own RPGs then compared to say... Making boardgames is related to RPGs, FFGs origin... A lot of writing, art, and rules development is outsourced to freelancers by most, but the largest publishers. I suspect that this will happen here as well. Most of what we now call 'top' tier writers/developers started as freelancers one way or another. How consistent were the writers across the FFG SW books? I know that across the D20 books it wasn't.As others have mentioned, I don't expect a lot of core products for these lines, unless FFG renews the SW license. Which I really doubt... X-wing 2E lost a LOT of players, the secondary market is full of great deals of 1E ships with 2E upgrades. Destiny and Imperial Assault were killed, the LCG, Rebellion and Outer RIm haven't had expansions in a long time. That pretty much leaves Legion, Armada, and X-wing 2E as product lines... FFG has a history of dropping IPs when they don't perform like they should. Moving the RPGs to EE does keep them on life support.Genesys and Lot5R RPGs might suffer the same fate, life support, support... ;-)Personally I think that liking or disliking companies is a foolish endeavor. They tend to change employees, owners, etc. Instead like or dislike individual products, because even if the previous ones were good, there is no guarantee the next ones will be as good...</blockquote>
