Rant to microsoft!

[13CentKiller]

Someone has to do something really good for Microsoft, so when they say "How can we repay you"

You can say: "Well, the source code for Freelancer would be nice"

:laugh:

I wrote a really funny FL story, but it disappeared when the old forum went away. So, no lulz for you today.

[Epholl]

Microsoft has already pulled support for FL, the game's nowadays almost out of print. They have nothing to lose financially.

Nothing to lose, but also nothing to gain.

They gain more attention for FL, and, if it's a NDA, more sales.

ya know, I just realized something.. If we keep bringing this game to their attention.. they may say "screw releasing the source" and rerelease the game, seeing as how everyone wants it.

There is always that possibilty and depending on who (within MS games)
takes the lead in redesigning it, that could either be disastrous or awesome.

Seek fun and you shall find it. Seek stuff to Q_Q about and you'll find that, too. I choose to have fun.

Called up the number. With my advanced vocabulary, I managed to get to someone kind of high up, here's something as to what the conversation sounded like:

M: I understand you want information on the release of the source code for Freelancer?
L: Yeah, it's a great game, and has a lot of potential.
M: I can't say I've ever played it myself, but I have heard of it. Digital Anvil made it too, correct?
L: Yeah they were a partner.
M: Ah. Well, you know, they probably won't release it, they've got something like a 300 year copyright on the game or something.
L: Does it hurt to try?
M: No, not really.
L: So, are you the guy I need to talk to? Or not?
M: Probably not, I'll connect you to my boss.

This goes on for about an hour until I get to the supervisor, and he tells me to call another number.

I've got the feeling they're just going to keep running us in circles, telling us to E-mail other people or call other numbers just so we stay off their back.

ya know, if digital anvil still exists.. maybe talk to them about it? they may release the code if they are still partners with MS. wouldn't hurt to try that one

PS. I would love to see FL get a full fledged update, graphics as well as major mods to the gaming system itself, like adding in actual escort missions and such:)

if digital anvil still exists..

I had thought the same thing a few hours ago so I decided to go googling.....turns out they dont :(

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Anvil

In November 2005, Microsoft redeployed the developer's employees to its Microsoft Game Studios headquarters. Digital Anvil was officially dissolved on January 31, 2006.
