I’m hyped because I love the source material, but worried this is just going to be a cash grab from loyal fans… Seeing as the comic books exceeded their funding threshold by a large margin, I could see other industries trying to cash in as well.

Hopefully this is a well thought out quality game, has anyone done any playtesting who wants to talk about it?

This studio doesn’t have a reputation of milking an IP for a cash grab. And if you were going to do that, The Expanse isn’t big enough for that to be a very lucrative idea.

That is comforting to hear about the studio, the Expanse Dragon’s tooth earned 1.4 million with 12k backers on kick starter, and that was in my opinion with little marketing, seems like enough for a cash grab to me!

Owlcat is a big RPG developer. Closer to Larian in terms of headcount. $1.4m is a drop in the bucket.

The concerns here would be about the different type of project and Owlcat’s history of releasing unpolished games at 1.0, not in it being a soulless cash grab.

glad to hear they are so beloved, I think an unpolished full release is a cash grab, as first impressions are important, but we can disagree on that point.
