Post by: TechPro on December 30, 2016, 11:59:27 AM

Interplay has announced "fire sale" of sorts, selling of most (if nor everything) included our beloved Descent.

Just goes to show... I was preoccupied elsewhere for a couple months.

On the upside, the previous posting was in the Mess Hall... I got this in the News.

... But then, everyone just watches for new posts in the sidebar list which shows the postings regardless where it got posted... Oh well.

I posted that in the Mess Hall, because that seems like where everybody posts things these days.

And if it helps Techpro, I was late to the announcement of this news myself.  ::)

What I'd really like to know now is who, if anyone, will buy our beloved Descent, and if so, what, if anything, they plan for it.

And more importantly, if it'll affect Descent Underground in any meaningful way.
