It's not a gaming company, it's a gaming IP holding company with narrow restrictions on what can be done and when.

If it's an IP-holding company, I don't understand why they haven't done anything new with the IP in going on 20 years. THJ and all these fans servers are a clear signal there's an un-served market here.

They are about to release their 32nd expansion to that IP, so I don't think it's accurate to say they haven't done anything.

It seems clear their business plan revolves around making money off Live (specifically off the "whales" that pay extra). Everything else in their business (including allowing classic emulators) is simply a means to drive more people toward the money-making engine that is live.

You can debate whether they could make more money with a different plan, but it's wrong to suggest they're not still trying to cash in.

Very bad news for Red99, with custom exp gains and no item loot they are crippled with 400 player count.

I don't think that published emulator agreement is P99's agreement. It's widely believed (though I haven't seen it confirmed) that this is the P99 agreement: https://storage.courtlistener.com/re...19107.53.4.pdf

Nobody said they weren't trying to exploit the IP to make cash.
