There is no way that this is some kind of stunt.
Right now I'm playing Battle Carnival which is sort of like First Assault, but it has between 150 and 300 people. That's because it has a generic theme. I don't expect that later there will be more players.
Just play the games and when they shut down or go bad leave them and find new ones. Don't "marry" games, because in the end you will be the one screwed.
It would require likely tens of thousands of customers demanding to throw their money at Nexon to make enough of a blip on Nexon's radar to make the executives even consider renegotiaing the various agreements between all parties involved in the creation of First Assault. There's maybe a dozen who bother to check up on the discussions here out of a playerbase that peaked somewhere not far above four and a half thousand.
Faith on its own is not a bad thing, but blind faith is just stupid faith. And some customers are just plain wrong.
The devs don't check this board (most of them don't even speak english), and I highly doubt Nexon reads these posts anymore. The game was cancelled, and they moved on. End of story.
For it to be re-opened you would need thousands and thousands of people showing genuine interest in a short amount of time, not just people typing 'F' in a post or signing online letters with throwaway names and e-mails. (The fact that no-one has even been interested enough to use a bot to spam sign any of the online petitions speaks volumes for anyone's genuine interest in this.)
You would thousands of people mailing actual letters to their offices and large amounts of people harassing Nexon/Neople on their own message boards, not Steam's.
Real and genuine interest and effort from the masses, not just lipservice and whining. To restart the game the publisher and developer would need a showing strong enough that all but guaranteed they'd make a profit from it.
(... And you would probably also have to give huge bribes to several of the higher ups at Production I.G. for them to let another company lease rights to the GitS IP again after it failed the first time. Big huge bribes. Like hiring a couple hundred hookers for a week or two, or giving them shiny sports cars with glove boxes stuffed with money.)
I don't want to insult you, but I'm sick of blind faith comments like "have faith" or "if we gather enough people we can make a difference". No. That won't happen, the game is gone. Keep the good memories and move on.
I just check this forum, because of the thread about the similar games and me and others post our findings there. And accidentally I read the rest of the forum.
Whether or not you believe the game can come back has no bearing on the topic at hand in the first place. This thread shouldn't even have gotten to this point, but what can you expect from the graveyard here. Personally I find these excuses to fight more pathetic than anything else at this point.
If you think it's a waste to post here, then leave. There's no point in watching people have hopes to revive the game, right? (Unless you really have no better hobbies, then that's on your head I guess.) If you want the game to come back or want to talk about the good ol' days, post. It's that simple. Less headaches all around.
