How much do you all think they would want? and what do you think could be done with engine? I had someone ask me a question lately that got me thinking about this, not that it would ever happen, but I bet I could do alot with the games and engine that PDS didnt want to, or doesnt want to do now... Cough cough fixing bugs and like cough cough and also making new games based on that engine. Would be interesting to see what ideas you all have and also see what you think the engine plus games of that era are worth.
I tend disagree about engine being worth nothing... Also those older games have concepts/design decisions pds(developing arm) will not utilize or if do sparsely. Even in interviews they state to that effect. Also if calculations are correct pdx is only worth 50k USD... Thus point stands if you are correct, that mean those games+engine be 35k or more. I doubt that though.
For the Europa engine, I'd give them $250 and a postcard with a smiley face on it.
Seriously though, I think it's more likely they'll eventually open-source it than sell it. Not sure who would be willing to buy it other than people in the community who want to make Darkest Hour/For the Glory type games. I don't see them ever selling the games themselves, they're not really a revenue source at this point that anyone would be interested in.
