[QUOTE="Cergorach, post: 9615941, member: 725"] Maybe because the folks that run Talespire didn't want to sell? Normally when you sell a company, they tend to want to keep you around to run it for at least a couple of years, but if there's a good chance that you're fired next Christmas or the year after that... Then they better be paying [I]stupid[/I] money, the kind of money you can retire on for at least as long as your non-compete lasts... I also think that you're not starting a VTT software project to get rich... And handing your baby over, for whatever (stupid) money they offer, to a new abusive parent that might just kill your baby is not something many people in that situation want to do... It's also not as if Tailspire is a crap product, so taking the money and working on something 'better' is also not realistic. Now imagine Dwarven Forge 3D scanning (in color) their entire (back) catalogue and offering those as tiles in the 3D VTT of your choice... Something like how you can use your Printable Scenery (makes STL parts for 3D printing terrain) parts to make layouts in TerrainTinker and then print it out. But I've also read that some export it to their 3D VTT... There have been MMORPGs that fired 100% of their staff after launch... The Day Before launched and 3 days later the whole company closed.
