Is there still a way to gain financially from that legend? e.g. by licensing, or consulting because one of part of the team back then or something?
I ask because usually community-created legends are hosted and develop in forums/mailing list etc, but when people write professional articles about it, it's quite likely someone still invests financially in that story.
- ghaff 9y agoNot sure what you're saying. Technology Review is published by MIT where the game was originally developed. It also functions as MIT's alumni magazine and the topic is likely to be of interest to MIT alumni.
- duskwuff 9y ago> Is there still a way to gain financially from that legend? No. There is no money in classic (i.e, text-based) interactive fiction. There is a small community of amateur game developers, but it's almost all noncommercial. There is certainly no financial investment in the scene. Sometimes legends are just history.
