    I was about to post something identical to this post! I loved the Alice games so much, and not only are they allowing the fanbase/franchise to die, they also are missing out on a lot of money. If they sold Alice and Alice madness returns as a bundle remaster for PC and console, people will buy it. And even more so if a third game was in the process of being made. By sitting on the IP and not letting anything happen to it, they are wasting their own money on a resource they already have the rights to.

Agree with everything said.

It's a shame it's owners don't appreciate the IP for what it is, not being an endlessly milked live service cash cow. It will make money, maybe not BILLIONS, but there's a market for this game.

Regardless if EA decided to helm the game, or if the IP was sold to the creator, I'd probably buy Asylum at launch. And maybe, for the first time in well over 10 years, this might restore a SHRED of faith that EA, and the gaming industry as a whole can be good.

Unfortunately my expectations for either above option are in the gutter. I truly do believe EA will just sit on this IP and do nothing for all of eternity. It's already been 14 years, far bigger gap then between the first two games. Another reason to avoid this company like the plague I suppose.

All they're doing here is slowly but surely letting this awesome franchise die out, and it sucks.

    Same here, 100%. I think they underestimate what a dedicated fanbase this series has.
