I just got a newsletter from BandaiNamco about another #SwordArtOnline game. Never really looked into it. But then I wondered if this is the reason Bandai allowed Cyber Connect 2 to dev -and- publish the next #DotHack. So Bandai could put their resources to Sword Art.
BUT, far as I'm guessing, they didnt -have- to let CC2 use the IP. They could say no. Especially with them releasing a similar premise. But they are allowing it. Which I think is cool.
