I remember seeing so many comments awhile back about how there wasn't a chance in hell that EON would ever allow someone else to have creative control.
I want to know how much they're being paid for it, and how much the next highest offer has been, because it has to be a shitload of money.
But that isn't the criteria they're working with in any news report or court case, is it?
If I draw up some plans on a napkin with crayon, make my thing based on that, and "QC" says all the parts are to spec, and it fails and looks like shit in the process... I would say that is FAR more improvised than the guy making a pipe bomb out of hardware store supplies that's set off by a complex electronic custom timer/signal receiver.
I do get your point, I'm just being slightly ridiculous for humor's sake.
It's all entirely "did someone make this in a factory with government approval or not"
Y'know... In this hypothetical news story/court case...
