    My theory is that Sony is suing DOG for breaching their contract, and they have been drumming up excitement since they can't legally update the game yet need funds for their legal battles.

    What's yours?

    Being sued would make a lot of sense actually. I can't imagine anyone buying it.

    Another option I suppose is Soko quit or was laid off and cannot under contract tell anyone, as such they are hiring a new person to run the game....or simply are letting nobody run it. back at the start of the owls era they had nobody running the game before soko came on board and the community council was literally making the patches lol.

    It will eventually. I think they are just behind on Space Wars which is where all their money is atm so the programming work on Pox is delayed.

    would it be possible to purchase and run poxnora as a community?

    I suspect so but you'd need the dedicated servers, technical skill, and capital to accomplish that.

    It wouldn't even be the first ime they sold it lol

    Then again with it on the PlayStation now selling may even be inpossible

    Honestly server costs and technical skill are not the real constraints on something like this. With services like AWS it's easier and cheaper than it ever was before to host a multiplayer game - though still not "cheap". The real constraint is going to be the upfront purchasing costs because the price of acquiring an established brand w/ proof of concept, as well as a decade's worth of assets (art, mainly) is undoubtedly astronomical. Even if DOG decided to sell it at a discount (or loss, even) the cost would be well beyond what this community could probably raise.

    To be determined, he's had one post in a month. That post said he was sick and was why he had not been posting for weeks. That post was weeks ago.

    At this point....who can say...

    @Sokolov has a new baby I think.

    He may be otherwise occupied.

    Heresy, I know, but babies trump Pox.

    For a wee while...

    My friend has two kids works in a warehouse stacking boxes, and he has time for games occasionally. I'm sure poor sok could manage

    that would be a good reason, if he had a new baby it makes tons of sense in all honesty

    what do you mean? his last post was in his profile saying exactly that, feel free to check it.

    to save you time this is the comment

    Sokolov Sorry for lack of activity from me, I am currently dead with the flu (and Sora also has it)

    date has it posted two weeks ago, prior to that it was 2 small posts on the 30th, then 1 on the 23, which a bit early by about a week to say he hasn't posted in a month but meh close enough imo..

    anyway as I said in the post you quoted its weird but could be a good answer other then him being gone(even though it could just be he's gone) like him having a kid as for why he's not here.

    honestly if he had another kid then that honestly fully explains pretty much everything except for how inept owls is at community management without soko being here.
