Are you being serious? If you are, I can talk to licensing for you and see what they'd want for it. Or else I can put you in touch with licensing and you can do it yourself.

I imagine the seriousness depends on how much it costs. Theres alot of people around here wasting an extra kidney.

As Maq says, it really depends on the price. In the past Apolyton has financed the contruction of a (cheap) house for a girl from the Philippines, so we know it's possible to raise a nice sum of money for a good cause. But I doubt we'd be able to raise more than a few thousand dollars (at most), so if you can tell us in advance that the price range is in the hundreds of thousands of dollars or more, then nevermind. But if the price range is closer to a few hundred or a few thousand dollars, I would be very interested indeed.

So if you think the costs would be even remotely affordable for us, I (and probably many others) would very much appreciate it if you could indeed ask licensing about this (or put me in touch with them).

Edit: IIRC Velociryx was interested in the license as well a while ago. With a company (Velocigames) behind him, who knows what kind of money he'd be able to raise...

I have no experience in this region, but my guess would be in the 10's of thousands to 100's of thousands. This is based purely on numbers I've heard for otehr licensing agreements. And I have no actual knowlege of the CTP license.

I wonder if the licenses Pyaray is recalling are also "dead" commercially? Of course ATVI have no obligation to sell but they would take as much money as they could if offered, but they cant expect to receive as much as say, the Half-Life license. Money is better in the bank as they say, or someone said, or i just said.

I used to work for a company that was looking into licensing old Apple ][ games to remake under Windows. "Dead" enough?

Not at all, I love classics, and really like this recent resurgance of remaking old games.

Any news? I'm not in the limb-sacrifice market, but I do have funds. If they are thinking about making offers and you're looking for financing, I'd be willing to kick in some dough.

Hey,
ATVI licensing finally got back to me today and wanted to know if you guys were serious. They're willing to talk about it if someone's wanting to get in contact.

Well i guess Locutus would be the guy to go through on this.
Depending on circumstances and the exact details of what these enquiries uncover i may also be interested.

I think it's safe to say our interest in genuine. However, it yet remains to be seen to if we have a financial backing to match...

But of course, I would certainly be willing to get in contact with them to at least find out what the options are. How do I go about this? Do you have an email address for me or do you pass along my address to them? Either way, my address is locutus@apolyton.net, but that should not be news to anyone

Okay...apparently this is the official place to discuss this

It does sound really expensive. But an estimate would be great to get.
