Hytale's Founder Aims to Buy Back the Game from Riot Games!
Okay, so here's the deal. Remember Hytale, that Minecraft-like sandbox game that everyone was hyped about? Well, after its recent cancellation, the original founder of Hypixel Studios, Simon Collins-Laflamme, is planning something pretty wild: he wants to buy it back from Riot Games!
I know, right? It sounds like something straight out of a movie. Apparently, he's going to reach out to Riot to see if he can re-acquire Hytale and bring it back to life. It's a long shot, for sure, but the fact that he's even trying is pretty cool.
He even mentioned the possibility of releasing a "very early access" version with some features temporarily removed. I think that's a great idea, to be honest. Get the community involved early on!
Stardew Valley's Creator, Could He Be Involved?
And that's not all! Eric 'ConcernedApe' Barone, the legend behind Stardew Valley, has seemingly responded to a fan asking if he'd be open to getting involved in the Hytale rescue mission. His answer? "Possibly, but I would have to hear more about what the plan is." Now that's interesting!
However, let's be real, Collins-Laflamme is being upfront about how unlikely this all is. He said the chances of reviving a project like this are "next to impossible." But hey, he feels like he owes it to the community that supported him, and I respect that. It's a 1% chance, but he's willing to try!
So, what does this mean for us? Honestly, don't get your hopes up too high. It all depends on Riot Games, and the odds aren't exactly in our favor. But still, it's exciting to see someone fighting for a game that so many people were looking forward to. I'll be keeping an eye on this one, that's for sure!
