That's pretty interesting. I wonder who is picking up the tab for that, SMG or Harmony Gold.

Hard to imagine that Palladium is involved. :-?

In theory, Harmony Gold could be trying to salvage customers that might have been put off of Robotech by Palladium's failure, using funds gained from the Tactics close-out sale to win those customers back while boosting the signal for both the brand and the new game. I'm skeptical that Harmony Gold would take that kind of long-term view, though. Therefore, I'd guess that you're correct. If so, good for SMG!

At any rate, the game itself looks pretty interesting. A co-op game that should be available before Christmas.

As cool as that looks, I'm at least as interested in their new Robotech RPG. You can download the Alpha (ha!) version through SMG's forums.
