In general I'm hugely in favor of products reverting to thier creators, and I'm glad in this case that things never finalized so Wujcik gets it back.
awh. No new BESM edition :(

According to the statement Mark released he's looking for a new home for it---whether that comes to pass may be an issue.
Personally, I'd given up on BESM a while back, it was one of my favorite games for a while until SAS/Tri-Stat/D20 all infringed on BESM's development and the new direction 3E seemed to be going held little interest. I hope for those who ARE fans still they get the game (and hope its what "they" want.)
I know the preview material that had come out definatly sealed the coffin's lid for me.

I have created a forum for GOO Fans to go to so that they can discuss GOO's Games.
Goo's passing is a sad one.

Since Guardians of Order never had the actual rights, merely a promise of the first chance at negotiating for them, the game publishing rights never LEFT Erick Wujick's hands at all.
I do certainly agree that the demise of GoO a bad scene, but much more because of it's impact on the smaller companies than and the loss of the various Tri-Stat lines than anything to do with Amber.
