The link is to their forums, so I broke it, but Eric Gibson, publisher of WEGs is seriously meaning to sell the franchise with all intellectual properties.
I'm tired of all the work for negative reward. No good deed goes unpunished, as they say.
WEG and all it's properties are for sale, and I'm taking bids. I've been talking with some of the more interested publishers already but I was recent bitched out (what else is new) for not offer WEG for sale to fans publicly.

Unfortunately, I think all that they really have left is TORG and maybe one or two more things. Their Fantasy, Adventure, and Space settings were more like generic templates.
I was REALLY looking forward to the WEG system going OGL-ish. Looks like that won't happen now.

of course the computer is always your friend.
If they still have the IP for paranoia, I can see Mongoose Games snapping it up, what with them publishing the books and all.
Same with Star Wars, I can see WotC snapping that up in an instant, what with them publishing the books and all...

Eric was a fan who bought it for a hefty chunk of change, charged a bunch of people money for a preorder that he never shipped and still, to my knowledge, has yet to get anyone a refund.
