Well, this may or may not pertain to the list but I know how much people
love rumors here :)

As you may or may not know, Microsoft is buying FASA Interactive this
week (according to people who work at FASA and other sources). FASA is
getting big money for this deal supposedly. Has anyone else heard anything
else? Will FASA have a little extra money now? And maybe put Corp Wars out
next year? Or is SRTCG dead beyond any resurrection? I heard that FASA may
print out their Dragon sourcebook then call ED dead (to recoup some lost
money maybe). Perhaps the same will go for SRTCG?

The downside to this (besides Microsoft buying up another company) is
that Shadowrun: Assassin will be canned since Microsoft is already
developing a similar game. Argg.

Peace,
