Downix said NCsoft is SELLING the IP (e.g. the story/characters part of the game), not leasing it.
NCsoft is LEASING the engine (e.g. the mechanics part of the game) to CoHI23.
Whatever company is set up to PURCHASE the IP will then turn around and lease it to successors, if they want.
So, am I understanding ... Nate got the ball rolling, but now it's in the hands of South Korean folks who are negotiating a deal to buy the IP for a company.
And Nate will not be involved in running that company, but we don't know who exactly WILL be running that company (which may not exist but is being planned for)
So the
masks for the folks who are negotiating and potentially purchasing and running and putting up the MOO-LAH for all this
are still on. No?
Or am I missing something -- I keep seeing that the structure of the company is not yet determined, but I also read that "we know who will be running the servers" --
Do we know who WILL be involved in the new IP company if the deal is successful, and we're just not saying... or does nobody know... confus-ed.
