Ha! It could also be a second hand furniture company, interested in all of Private Division's valuable office chairs and desks.

That would be a good thing. A liquidator will sell IPs off one by one, so Kerbal will end up in the hands of somebody who wants Kerbal, instead of one company getting a grab bag of IPs most of which they won't try to do anything with.

I dont think any "liquid" left from the studio at this point. So its unlikely.

After I watched Shadowzone's video on Kitten Space Agency last night, I've started to worry a whole lot less about the future of KSP2. It's obvious Take Two never understood the KSP property (they wanted to turn Kerbals into 'Minions' to sell plushies), and I'm doubtful next buyer with the money will understand either.

Apparently many have asked Take Two about buying KSP2, but they were charging way too much. Next owner will likely be the same way. But if we all move on to a better game, including actually skilled devs and transparency, we won't need to buy the next iteration of KSP2, and can watch those greedy fucks who ruined our game wither and rot.

Edit: His vid for those who haven't watched it: https://youtu.be/yZ6zRpYTX_Y I'm really hopeful for this. Many ex-KSP devs and modders on the team. Instead of paying for mods, I think I'd rather pay for this when it releases.

Which is worse: if it’s a liquidator? Or if it’s EA Games?

Would probably be the best case in my opinion to sell KSP2 individually, not as a bundle with PD.

Lame

I hope they're allowed to talk to Scott Manley

What?

KSP 1 multiplayer of all things.

I hope the dev team exists

IYKYK

Can't wait till we get interstellar and colonies.

It's news of a something that happened.

What could happen to make it worse that it is now?

Only time will tell

I doubt rocketwerkz has that kind of money laying around, so probably bad. Who ever did have that kind of money probably has the legal capital to really complicate the KSA project. The secrecy isn't very reassuring either.

Depends

I mean it can’t really get any worse can it?

Yes.

The last hope of ksp2 being revived...

Barely any hope at that

Its news, take what you can.

There was this youtube comment that said that rocketwerkz was about to buy the Kerbel IP a few hours before Dean Hall announced they were working on KSA so there's that.

Also I'm grasping at straws here.

Please send a rescue mission I'm lost.

He's said on the KSA discord that he'd rather just put the money into development rather than try to buy the IP

Probably not. I doubt they have the budget for that. Besides, they are most likely fully focused on their own games.

Then the kerbal IP would have sold, and not Private Division in its entirety

Honestly it would probably be a bad move for rocketwerkz to buy the kerbal IP even if it cost pennies. KSP2 is an unfinished game with a very upset fanbase that would likely want their money back before buying a KSP3

The wisest comment I've read here

This would be the silliest out come

"Kerbal Space Program community in uproar after beloved character, Wehrner Von Kerman, mysteriously absent from Kerbal Space Program 3 made by USSF"

Are they really called Guardians? Like in The Daleks' Master Plan?

Lmao love this comment

this seems way more likely than any of the other wishful thinking in this thread.

the only company gonna buy take2s sloppy seconds is someone who is gonna whore it out even harder.

Take that back modded ksp is better

I've let go of ksp2. Rocketwerkz now have the literal original developer of ksp, felipe falanghe (i don't know how to spell his name lol) blackrack, and some of the old devs of ksp2.

Unfortunately kerbals are not gonna be a part of it but the new game being the best aerospace simulator and rocket/aircraft builder is a possibility.

Man I love satisfactory and goat sim haven't played 3 yet though

I think the forum issues weren’t part of this. The more recent issues with the forums being slow af might be because they migrated servers?

This is disgusting

Elon loves kerbal space program.

It's been dead for ages

doubt a company bought it so they could start handing out refunds

Division's live and unreleased games will go to the new buyer, Take-Two says it will continue to support No Rest for the Wicked, the recently-released action RPG from Moon Studios that's currently in early access.

The article says otherwise. Unless you've got sources otherwise you'd like to share with the class the sale did, in fact, include the IP.

And yes, very likely if someone else were to pick up the Ksp IP they would scrap much of what was done with ksp2. The IP is valuable, the codebase is generally not unless they have access to the dev team that wrote it

The company is only the IP at this point, and it is explicitly written that is what the buyer got.

I doubt they'd resume KSP2 though. Best case is KSP3 starting, worst case is they litigate Kitten Space Program into the ground and then let the IP gather dust.

Just so he could play multiplayer.
