Also, Welch is a royally hard sale. I've been working for a year on concept designs for Escape Velocity: Event Horizon (Yes, the fourth EV, and no, not yet under development or NDA). I have mentioned it to Welch and he hasn't really spoken to me since. He said he would consider the idea if it was submitted formally rather than as a work in progress.

In other words, Welch isnt going to take some little obscure game and bring it to their some odd millions of users, without a really good idea that it would work well. Also, there's the cost of the game and I would doubt that Welch and Guildsoftware would easily reach an agreement as ASW is really a 1-time fee but GSW (Guild SoftWare) has proposed monthly fees or so.

Ask Switzerland? The G8 nations? If we proclaim it the national game of Switzerland, will their banks fund it?

Vendetta - the National Game or Switzerland..? No, I'd rather not. :P

hrrm

i am swiss. and no, switzerland will never endorse a computer game (first of all, we would have to vote about if we wanted that at all).
