[QUOTE="GreyLord, post: 7887904, member: 4348"] I'm not sure. I believe they still have the license until 2021 when negotiations will be done. Interestingly enough, I think they have a minimum number of RPG books they HAVE to publish (unsure of how many, if it is merely 1, they have it in the bag for the rest of the year) as it is also connected to the rest of the license they currently hold. With how they took the Star Wars license, I'd imagine they may be looking at possibly dropping it in the future anyways considering how much they probably paid for it (can't be helping their bottom line, and as these layoffs seem to me to be more about streamlining the money...expensive licenses can really drag that down at times) over other companies that were thinking about lesser amounts for it. On the otherhand, with their Legion and other games they are putting out, I'm not sure what they'd have to replace it. OR, they could be looking to fold FFG main into Asmodee for the most part and keep FFG more as a warehouse with Asmodee being the main company at this point. The interactive and apps/games were already doubled with the Asmodee portion doing more and being more successful than the FFI portion, so cutting down and folding much of FFG exercises into the Asmodee main would not be surprising. No involvement with their company on my part, so these are all wild tosses of the darts in the dark on what may be happening with them and their licenses though. I really have no idea... Sorry for those that lost their jobs in the streamline/downsize. Hope they have luck finding other jobs. I know the former FFI head released something on linkedin (I think that was it) where I think he says he is going to try to help those that were with him relocate into other areas or find jobs and such, and that he also is looking for work at this point.
