if we can provide 1C with something like 50.000$ to pay a couple of programers 20.000$ each and luthier 10.000$ to coordinate it, this could be done to "cease development of the CoD product when all reasonable efforts were made to complete it". one could argue they have an obligation to us the old customers that is greater then their new recent agreement with the teflon dressed RoF crowd

but my post was not intended to go in that direction, it was more to raise the issue that with 100 people willing to put 500$ into this each, we could raise 50.000$ pretty quickly to try and get a few crucial elements of CoD finished

You are pretty desperate for a silly game. Go buy some emergency supplies for that money. It could save your life down the road.
