Yes, we heard something, but it was final by any means. This came from Jill
Lucas, who seems to be able ... no, forget it, I've raived enough about the
lady.. :)
Anyway, FASA is in the process of finding another company to pick up the ED
game, story, and concept. They really feel that ED has a lot of potential, it
was just not gaining the support beyond themselves (aka, many distributors
and/or retailers) that it deserved. They had not set anything into
stone/officiality as yet, but they were hoping for something in the very near
future.
Now how does this effect SR??? In Mike's words..."SR is moving forward, and
the connection has always been one-way really, from ED to SR, and it isn't
going to really effect anything from this point forward. No, Harlequin won't
vanish or die, as he was introduced in SR..." and the rest of the commentary
kind of held the same idea / feeling as this.
I know that there has to be more information, but we weren't made that privy
to it, as that would probably have stirred up trouble of some form (such as
exactly which company they were trying to get to pick ED up for example).
