*Setzt sich dazu, packt sein Popcorn aus.*

Ja, das wird spannend. Vor allem weil mit By Night Studios wohl schon Gespräche stattfinden, mit OPP jedoch nicht.

Rauthorim:
Ich wurde gerade von der Nachricht überrascht, dass Paradox interactive White Wolf und damit auch die Rechte an World of Darkness/ Vampire gekauft hat. Ich denke, dass das hier einige auch interessieren dürfte. :)

Hier die Presseerklärung:   


--- Zitat ---Paradox Interactive Acquires White Wolf Publishing from CCP Games
New Paradox Subsidiary will Operate Independently and Manage All White Wolf Properties, Including World of Darkness and Vampire: The Masquerade

STOCKHOLM - Oct. 29, 2015 - Paradox Interactive, a global games developer and publisher, today announced the acquisition of White Wolf Publishing from CCP Games in an all-cash deal. Now a subsidiary of Paradox Interactive, White Wolf Publishing is a licensing business that owns and manages intellectual properties including World of Darkness, Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocalypse. Led by CEO Tobias Sjögren, former EVP of Business Development at Paradox, White Wolf Publishing will operate as an independent entity with a dedicated team.

White Wolf Publishing has a long history of producing gaming universes that span mediums, including tabletop and collectible card games, PC games and books. Paradox Interactive acquired all of White Wolf’s brands, and its new subsidiary will pursue development opportunities across relevant categories of games under the White Wolf Publishing name.

“Like Paradox’s games, White Wolf’s properties have dedicated, passionate communities. While there are similarities in spirit, White Wolf’s IPs have very different themes than Paradox’s titles, and deserve their own brand and team,” said Fredrik Wester, CEO and President of Paradox Interactive. “We have great respect for White Wolf’s gaming worlds and see big opportunities for their expansion in the future under our new subsidiary.”

“Over the last 20 years, I’ve had the opportunity to work with beloved studios like DICE and Paradox on the business management side of games, and as a developer earlier in my career. I look forward to bringing my experience to bear as we pursue new ways to interact with White Wolf’s universes,” said Tobias Sjögren, CEO of White Wolf Publishing. “The White Wolf IPs are well suited for all kinds of media and we see great potential to expand them in the future.”

"At CCP, we have great admiration for the White Wolf brands and communities, and it was extremely important to us that the acquiring company share the same respect and understanding,” said Hilmar Veigar Pétursson, CEO of CCP Games. “With Paradox, we know we are leaving the brands in good hands."

Auf Reddit kommentiert Shams Jorjani (Paradox / VP of Acquisitions and Strategy) das ganze noch mit folgenden Sätzen:


--- Zitat ---The idea is that White wolf runs itself as a traditional RPG publisher. In some cases they'll work with us at paradox and in some cases with others. The goal being doing what's best for the White Wolf IPs.

Paradox will keep doing our thing. Hardcore strategy, management and RPG games. We won't be pushing out pen & paper stuff in retail anytime soon :)

Das habt ihr aber gut versteckt. :D

Das ist der Grund, warum "Smalltalk-Themen" totale Grütze sind. Sie sind unübersichtlich. Nur Leute, die das Thema sowieso lesen schauen rein. Niemand mit einer vernünftigen Idee, den Rest des Jahrzehnts sinnvoll zu verbringen, kommt auf die Idee, wichtige Informationen in solch einer Bagatellen-Wüste zu suchen. Dementsprechend - und hier muss ich Rauthorim hart tadeln - ist der korrekte Smilie:  :smash:

Im Übrigen befürworte ich: "Leute, die das WoD-Smalltalk-Thema lesen würden" als Beleidigung einzuführen. Etwa: "Dein Rollenspielgeschmack ist soooo daneben, du würdest auch das WoD-Smalltalk-Thema lesen, du WoD-Smalltalk-Themen-Leser!"
