Didier Chanfray - Rectificatif / Mea-culpa

[Diego]

I added Didier to my facebook account and he accepted me, and when I was reading his wall i found this note about LBA that I share with you

"Au vu des nombreux messages sur LBA reçus ces derniers jours je tiens à préciser certaines choses :
1. À ce jour, LBA3 n’est pas planifié.
2. Une réédition PC LBA1&2 (dématérialisée) est en négociation pour la fin de l’année
3. Un « Remix » de LBA1 sur tablette tactile est à l’étude.
Je ne veux pas décevoir les fans, mais la route qui mène vers LBA3 est encore longue et semée d’embuches. Si par bonheur l’engouement du public suscité par la réédition PC et du « remix » était au rendez-vous, nous aurions peut être enfin l’occasion d’étudier sérieusement la création de LBA3 dans sa globalité (financement/Game design/ technique et supports).
Merci pour votre compréhension et pour votre soutien passé, actuel et à venir."

"Given the many messages received on LBA these days I want to clarify some things:
1. To date, LBA3 is not planned.
2. A PC edition LBA1 & 2 (cloud) is in negotiations to the end of the year
3. A "Remix" of LBA1 on touch pad is under consideration.
I do not want to disappoint the fans, but the road to LBA3 is still long and strewn with pitfalls. If luckily the public's enthusiasm generated by the PC edition and "remix" was to go, we might finally be the opportunity to seriously consider the creation of a whole LBA3 (financing / Game Design / Technical and supports).
Thank you for your understanding and for your support past, present and future. "

Thanks for the update.
As suspected, they need everything else to be a success before they can do LBA3.
I hope those GOG sales are good enough

2. A PC edition LBA1 & 2 (cloud) is in negotiations to the end of the year

Given that we already have a digital distribution release via Gog.com right now.....this would imply they are looking at a true cloud (ie, streaming solution).
This I guess means onlive.com
Kinda weird if true, but I guess making LBA as accessible as possible would help sales.

Imagine if MBN could have a button marked "PLAY NOW!" and people could try LBA without any installation.
(then hopefully like it enough to buy it)

I have the feeling that I already saw that post somewhere on the MBN before the GOG release.

Yeah, this was posted before the GOG release, and "cloud" is not a very good translation of "dématérialisée", which simply means a downloadable edition. So the second point was simply referring to the GOG release.

ah,ok

I did not realize this had already been posted before sorry
