Ask yourself why it hasn't happened yet, in all those years that th:C was on the market with its "special" business model. My guess: because getting into this market doesn't really offer the income possibilities that many of us think.VonStratos wrote:Lets say tomorrow some new online hunting sim from another company show up, with the same style and functionalities than The Hunter but in a engine actualized to nowadays, new players and future players would jump there just for the eye candy, even old The hunter players would at least check it out, and that competition would make a dramatic impact on EW and the future of "classic" and any possible The Hunter 2 development.
There were a few attempts at creating new hunting games (does anyone remember "Hunting Simulator"? It's just been a year: https://forum.thehunter.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=80072), but those games rather seemed to prove that it's not easy to get a hunting game "right", so that it covers enough realism and still is a business success.
Imagine we could put some of our money together and try to port the game to a new engine as a community effort? How much would all of you be willing to invest? Mind you, we're talking about money that could be completely lost if the project fails. Five hundred from me, so if David's estimation is correct, we only need another 5,999,500 bucks now!
