Wing Commander CIC

...And on Wing Commander

PCGN: Theoretically, if you could, would you like to buy back the Wing Commander rights?

CR: Definitely. If I could get Wing Commander back, if it was mine to control and not EA saying ?Here you are, have it for a game,? then I?d definitely be interested. Part of the thing that?s frustrating is that, when you create a world and you?ve overseen it for a while, and I had to sell it when Electronic Arts bought Origin, I can?t go back and visit that world without their say-so. But they don?t care about that world, I care about that world.

That?s one of the reasons I?m doing what I did with Star Citizen. This enables me to control my IP. To me, this is not just one game. This is a world I want to constantly update and add new cool stuff to and have a community. I?d be happy if, ten years after it comes out, people are still into it, still playing it, and it?s moved on and evolved. I want to be able to be in a position to guide it because I feel like I?m best suited to know what?s best for the franchise.

If I had the opportunity to get Wing Commander back in the same way, that?d be great, but EA has different priorities, so who knows if that can happen.
