Which sponsor would you want for CO?

No, this isn't a DOOM rant or anything negative. I'm just wondering what would be a game sponsor that can stand on it's own and support CO.

    A company that makes customised merchandising so they can sell t-shirts to us with our own characters printed on the front?
    Superhero stories, done well, are about modern archetypes.

    A Prootwaddle is one of the weirder player-character races in "The Fantasy Trip", Steve Jackson's first published role-playing game.

    Since we're doing pie-in-the-sky, I'll spring for the most implausible one:

    Cryptic/PWE

    Games Workshop so I can have little figures to go with my PnP sessions. Yup once this game goes I'll still be playing Champs the old fashioned way :D

    I modify and repaint the various Marvel and DC HeroClix miniatures for my Champs characters. Works fairly well.

    I've already seen a few, TT, and I've actually converted one of my CO characters into a WH40k setting successfully! She Two Gun Mojos everything to death. With bolt pitsols. :3

    Also, unrealistically, I'd want Konami to sponsor the game so we can have some METAL GEAAAAAAAAAAAAAR missions and get a Cyborg Ninja costume set. METAL GEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

    Realistically, though? I wouldn't mind a Neverwinter crossover mission where our heroes get poofed back to medievalfantasyland and we have to go punch drows and dragons in the face.

    This also extends to STO. I would like the opportunity to kill a gigantic spaceship using nothing but my character's fists and feet, please. (and steal their air guitar emote in an act of space piracy)

    Use the emblem Large shoulder pads, they're so spacemarine-esque like you wouldn't believe. Infact I remember distinctly when CO first game out seeing a squad of Space Marines though the Munitions pool allows for one marine to essentially be two of the main subtypes (Assault rifle = tactical marine, Rocket Launcher = Devastator), throw in a dual blades for an Assault Marine, heck if you wanted you could go super bulky and try at a Terminator/really, really old school dreadnaught.

    No thanks. After they declared an embargo on the US, I boycotted them.

    I'd much rather spend hundreds of dollars on a company that gives a damn about their customers, like Reaper. Not some jerkass company that raises their prices just because it's on the schedule.

    Sisters of Battle are a bannable offense yet Marvel and DC clones and their Justice S.H.I.E.L.D. League of Assemble supergroups still persist. Just put your own spin on the concept and make the Emprah (spelled EXACTLY like that) proud.



    To the topic at hand, I can't really say with any degree of certainty that any other company would handle CO in a manner that would please us. I can name a few that would do a worse job.

    Yup. Even better, they set their own prices for foreign sales (which must be done through their website). They set their own prices instead of relying on actual currency exchanges. Australians have to pay double what most people do, and in Brazil I think the prices are even worse. They're a terrible company.

    My god thats disgusting, I am be thinking that I will be sticking to PnP games and MMOs for some time to come.

    Disney.

    A simple paperwork error and their corporate facility bathroom tissue paper budget might get assigned to CO. The extra 50 million a year would allow Cryptic to do great things with CO and would never be missed.

    If you want superhero figures I recommend finding local Heroclix collectors and see if you can buy their low-grade duplicates that have a low value in Heroclix but are still cracking figures.
    Superhero stories, done well, are about modern archetypes.

    They just shut down LucasArts, what are you expecting?

    I vote Tencent. (if you don't know Tencent already bought Riot Games long ago, and see how that had turned out.)
