Quoted from Whysnow:The reality is that ANY of the following companies could do so:
Stern
CGC
Spooky
Deeproot
AP
Circus Maximus
All of them could use another blockbuster title. Many of them could easily port TBL to their platform, and some of them even have previous TBL sub-contractors affiliated with the current companies.
All of them are also very aware of the current demand and market. While much of that is propped up on rarity of the game currently, there is surely a market for some SuperLEs at 12.5 and then step your way down to a base model (easily pull out that bowling mech and it wont be missed and a big cost savings).
How come none of them jumped on Alien ? It had some decent demands, a completed game, decent code and great license.
