[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 7908643, member: 4534"] You never know when your current IP will run out of juice. Battle Tech was a very popular IP in the 80s and 90s. Not only was the game successful with tons of source books and a line of pewter miniatures, but the IP branched off into more than 100 novels, computer games, a cartoon (one season), and at one point there were more than 20 BattleTech Centers which were essentially arcades dedicated to Battle Tech. Back in 1992 if you looked at Warhammer 40k and Battle Tech you'd be hard pressed to guess which one would still be around today. Battle Tech [I]is [/I]still around today but it's nowhere near as popular as it was twenty years ago. You don't want to be a company that depends on one single IP. Best to develop more in the hopes that they can generate some revenue. [/QUOTE]
