DUST going out of business is just one of those things that happens every few years

I love Parente's art direction of this game, but I'd also love for it to be produced by Wargames Atlantic in reasonably priced plastic and with established distribution channels. Perhaps in one of the future iterations eh?

Given how the last attempt to partner with a company (Battlefront) went, I highly doubt Dust will ever be produced by an outside company.

One of the top 3 gakshows of the industry for sure

Besides that, WGA has everything to lose by getting involved with Paolo, the game/company/he has gone bankrupt/out of business, etc. so many times with so many different partners, etc. Hes clearly difficult to work with and the game/product line is a toxic commodity amongst the community at large outside of its own small cult following. Its simply not worth the risk for what seems to be very little gain.

And Dust, unlike Confrontation, is also still headed by the same person who keeps causing it to flop.

Uh, the KS fiasco started with Paolo promising hundreds of dollars worth of stretch goals that the people actually paying the bills didn't know about and never approved.

The most surprising thing he could do is not mess it up.
