How much do you think UWE is worth as a company? How much do you think the NS franchise is worth? I guess 350k to half a million.

    An infinite (reciprocal) amount of eternal gratitude.

    At the moment? Not a lot. Id say < $50,000

    A whole heap more when NS2 comes out, provided its a success.

    The 1000+ sales for the indi pack would have almost bought in that much alone, I'm not sure how Wolfire and UWE divvy up the figures. Probably 50/50, so not quite that much, but you're still looking at at least $19,975. That plus the apparantly copious amount of special edition pre-orders would put their total income well into the hundreds of thousands.

    It would be interesting to see some official numbers, but of course I don't expect this to happen because it has nothing to do with us.

    When you factor in how much they've likely spent, probably worth 400 to 500,000

    I predict ns2 is gonna put UWE on the map. Every game company started like this 1 way or another. UWE is going to be worth more than they probably thought they were gonna make in there lifetime. Im saying 2-4 years from now. Over a million in worth.

    Negative value due to spending attracted liability.

    Otherwise, hopefully at least something before our economy collapses like a fat kid trying to climb a greasy rope.

    "Unknown Worlds has generated about $220,000 from preorders, compared to nearly half a million dollars raised from angel investors."
