Cryptic made its move already. We don't know the full scope of what is being done, but according to their corporate releases, they are attempting to separate CO's development expenses from those of the other games.
This makes the product both more attractive for sale and easier to put resources into should the product prove fruitful.
My guess is that they moved the operating expense to Seattle because it's much cheaper labor than here in the bay. Cutting operations expenses is also more attractive when selling it off.
If the game isn't wildly popular in three fiscal quarters I suspect they will move to sell it rather than operate it.
The last hope for those who want this game expended in my gregarious opinion.
I hope you're wrong.
I honestly don't see this game being something that could be sold because the Cryptic Engine would have be a bear for anyone who hadn't been trained in its use.

Just for curiosity's sake, can you link where this is stated? I need a good read.

I think he's talking about Cryptic North; separate company, separate expenses, that sort of thing. Some actual documentation would be great, but that sort of thing is in short supply. Also, something that proves that Cryptic North are the only ones still working on CO.
Dangit Gamehobo, we need paperwork!

Yeah, Cryptic North is evidence of nothing of the sort, given they are working on all three games (supposedly, since we have almost no direct info about/from them)

Me thinks the peoples need to do more observings then the assumings. :biggrin:
Whether they do it or not is (almost completely) out of my hands.
I hope you're wrong.

Do you REALLY want the paperwork from someone who's pulling facts out of their ****?

To be fair, you see more costumes like that in Champs than you see good-ol Spandex heroes. :biggrin:
