BREAKING NEWS: CC2 explain the ways for dothack series revival
BREAKING NEWS: Cyber Connect 2 the developer of .hack//series has updated fans on how to help to revitalize its dothack franchise and possibly save .hack//IMOQ from never becoming a remaster! Please do all you can to make people aware of the beauty of The World.
Nothing has really changed regarding the continuation of the .hack series... If you want more .hack, you need to tell the Publisher (Bandai Namco Entertainment) and show your enthusiasm. Get other people to speak up and do the same. Even if there are some passionate fans, this is still a business, so the publisher isn't going to set things into motion unless they see some margin of profit or benefit to investing in a new project...
and the budget for a full-fledged console game is insane— just think about it! You're paying for every single person's salary who works on the game for 3 or so years... and the expense likely goes on from there! It's not an easy task... So unless the numbers balance out somewhat, it's not going to happen.
So then the question falls to: What can you do?
There are many things you can do:
Be vocal and talk about the series on social media, make a website, make fan artwork, fan fiction, cosplay, etc. The key here is to be as transparent as possible--show and be seen! Do things that are easily found, discovered, shared, etc. Also, get involved in other fan circles online. There are all sorts of hubs for connecting with other .hackers, you shouldn't have trouble finding other like-minded fans!
2. Purchase .hack Games & Available Merch
Although it may be difficult to get items new these days, it's important to support the series with your wallet. Please be aware that the money you pay for any used item from a 3rd party does not go to the publisher or developer... so although your collection might get a bit bigger, it's not exactly helping to revitalize the series... UNLESS you take all sorts of photos of your collection and rally the fanbase, which would fall under #1 above!!
3. Write to BNE & Frequently
Tell them you want more .hack, show them how passionate you are and what the series means to you. Write to their email on the website, their twitter, Facebook, anywhere you can. Get others to do the same!
Can you even imagine how hard it would be to have a great story and be unable to do anything about it? I'm sure many pivotal folks at CC2 feel this way but are unable to do anything... So, because of this, as fans of the .hack series, let's try to be a little considerate how we handle this situation. Bombarding CC2 with requests to continue the .hack series isn't going do anything. They know. They want to do more .hack. Those words are better off directed toward BNE! Other things you can do are to follow CC2 on social media, share their works, get other people interested, follow new projects!
