Possible Relic Purchase?

[ForceMultiplier]

Hi All,

I'm not sure if this has been discussed before, but I wanted to ask the creators if they ever considered the possibility of selling the mod to Relic and have them release it officially?

I'm sure it has been in the back of your minds, if Relic approached you guys would you do it?

It is pretty clear that all COH fans have been waiting for an expansion such as this. From day 1 people have been wanting to see the Russians in action. However Relic has never appeared to entertain the idea, you guys have done a fantastic job so far and developed it to the point it is at now.

In a way it would be nice if Relic bought it off you and released it officially, that way you guys get some recognition and the mod will get more exposure and integration.

Any thoughts?

Relic is busy bringing Company of Heroes: Online to South Korea.

Even more reason to just buy it off you guys

Well actually they approached us a few weeks ago, but we declined.

Wow that's an interesting development. Any particular reason why?

Haha, your joking? Maybe...

Also wondering why you declined?

Cheers

Yeah, I was joking.

Although we have actually been in contact with Relic. I don't know the specifics, but they have playtested the Alpha (they approve), and I think they have fixed certain bugs for us. Unfortunately they have more 'pressing' matters, as Apex stated, but beggars can't be choosers.

Awesome! It'd be good if they'd advertise the mod, the cnc studios do that quite a lot on bcpt....

[mrwiggles]

That's really cool. Although you guys are doing awesome work, it would be cool if you had Relic's developers tools at your disposal. At least they support you, for a while I was really concerned about Relic sending a 'Cease and Desist' order, like Bungie did with the Halo RTS mod for Command & Conquer: Generals.

[ForceMultiplier]

Yeh I would doubt they would do that,

Too many fans want to see an Eastern Front aspect to the game, even if they have nothing to do with release it will make them money by increasing interest in the game.

To the developers, thanks for being honest/candid about all this.

Eventually they will most likely release there own version of a COH Eastern Front.

[WartyX]

Somehow, I doubt it. Otherwise they would have been more cautious about helping us reach our maximum potential.

Yeah, I think Relic is moving on with COH (besides COH:Online) and/or just wants to keep it in the Western Front.

Do you guys think that relic is just leaving coh? I personaly think so. I mean what was with tales of valor?? I think that any new single player coh is almost out of the question. But multiplayer add on's are probably gonna start comming.
I hope
