Hmmm sounds like a person with a vision there. Well looks like we might have three choices. Sure could probably dump a couple of million into one of the projects but what does that gets him? Someone else vision and view of a successor game. You think if the million dollar guy don't like the engine or rather hire professional ridding of the volunteers that did the work thus far i dont think would fly and will end up with three anyways except in that case more animosity. Why not skip all of that and have three with good terms. If a person have their own cash why not create their own? We need more super hero games anyways and a couple of top of the line ones.
Maybe this is all crap maybe not but I'm sure people of all incomes including some well off people, even I added a half dozen to that count although alas they wasn't as enthused and one was long time player. And assuming that I didn't know all the people that had a couple of million laying around that played or heard, there is probably many more. And some may be enthused about it but contrary to popular belief many don't seem to throw money at anything just for the hell of it. Most of the ones I know at least invest. If they come out of pocket beyond relative chump change, they want to make their money work and many times these people are doers and create their own star up instead of bothering with someone else startup or else would just go after the big stuff with good potential returns. Then again of those that I know are mostly self made business people, one investor, one "saved, and two born into it.
