[QUOTE="The_Wol, post: 1000179, member: 37787"] I think the biggest issue is to get a real developer to take notice from a kickstarter campaign money would have to be big already. People like [USER=40658]@TRF_heineken[/USER] think the market for the game is big enough which I would almost agree with except for one glaring fact. Boxing is a much more popular sport worldwide, the amount of money that changes hands for one big fight is more than the entire all blacks squad are paid for 5 years (even 10 years). yet we haven't had a boxing game since Fight Night Champion even though the demand is very much there. I don't have the exact numbers but Fight Night Champion sold roughly 1.8 million copies. UFC 3 only sold a little over 1 million copies. The fans are there but the demand unfortunately is not even though we seem to think it is. I would love for someone to find a reputable source for how many copies Rugby 08 shipped so we can gauge the interest. Unfortunately for people like myself and Heineken the demand isn't there like we think or wish it was. At least not for a major company to pick it up. And even with a kickstarter could we raise enough for a major company to take the risk? Because even if we did it "in house" so to speak would that game be better than what we already have? or would it simply be another dumpster fire we defend because we put our own money and effort into it?
