I saw the article in gamespot a while ago. I live in Chicagoland and know
someone whose wife works for FASA so I asked them. They said it's a done
deal and the papers will be signed this week. Since it's not done yet, It's
still a rumor so to speak but so was ED being cancelled and corp wars being
discontinued. I'm also aware that FASA and FIT are two separate companies
owned by the same people but they're still privately owned and if one
company is making good money, the other still benefits. If the owners have
cash in their pockets and one could hope that they might be in a position to
take a little risk like printing Corp Wars, no?
