So as I was reading the Are you Switching? thread I had a thought, and a not so pleasant one at that. What happens if SR4 falls flat on its face? Does the good people at Shadowrun close up shop? Do they jus loose their asses and hope to build on the game and make it better, and draw a fanbase?
In that same vein has this happened before? Has FASA, or Fan Pro, or whomever just had to eat their shorts on a book? This isn't meant to say the game is bad or it will fail, it's just idle curiosity. |
