I hope your wrong Havoc because I think Lorne will bail out of something that does not comply to his vision. I think thats the reason why they left Microsoft in the first place. Microsoft simply cheapened Oddworld with Munch and Lorne dident like that. If EA decides to cheapen Oddworld then Lorne most likely would get out and find a new publisher. Now I think OWI should become their very own publisher as oppose to finding someone else to publish their work. If OWI were to be their own publisher then everything of Lorne's vision will be there and we would not have to worry about other publishers takeing away the essance of Oddworld we've known over the years to love. In my opinion OWI needs to become not only the prosperous game developer they are but aswell as being a publisher of their own product. Its the safe road to go because its truely a risk of your vision if you allow some other guy go ahead and buy and publish your work. It truely is a risk because there are a lot of people who want to make easy money by cheapening production of a very qaulity piece of work. And we don't want that, we want Lorne's vision not some others. At least thats what I am doing with my business. I am going to publish my own work that way the other guys can kiss my ass because I want to be in complete control of my projects and what I do. OWI needs to become their own publisher!
