I was wondering what happened to wing commander because i remember Wing Commander Prophecy being really good as a kid. Well it turns out the WC guy is the Star Citizen guy, so I guess they shelved their successful IP so he could grift kickstarter for 20 years
Unironically one of the best reforms we could make to copyright (aside from abolishing it all together) would be a “use it or lose it” clause.
That would probably just lead to us getting garbage like the later Hellraiser sequels that were made to keep the rights.
Maybe, but with the level of monopolization that exists now, I don’t think the biggestt publishers like EA/Paramount would invest in sequels to every single IP they own just to keep the rights.
It wouldn’t have to be a AAA sequel. Hell, they could just reskin some crappy mobile game and call that a “continuation.”
