It's been a little while since one of the team went into the full spiel, but from what I remember, they don't make shit from sales of the game, regardless of version. This has to do with the byzantine publisher situation. The IGG money is all there is, and it's pretty much gone. They're finishing it on principle, which is great, but technically also makes us slave drivers. ARE YOU HAPPY WITH YOURSELF?

But...but I need mai lore. It's pretty sad that eventually this will end.

Welp, it was a fun ride while it lasted.

MvC2 had like... no updates, and it was active for a decade. I think the PS4 version and Japanese arcade versions of Skullgirls could really do good things for the franchise. I have to hope.

Updated full spiel - as of about the middle of this year we do get some very small percentage of royalties, from sales after about the middle of this year.
It's not enough to work off, but it's non-zero.

I have hope and faith aswell. To clarify I don't think all things Skullgirls will end just sad that eventually development on it will stop, though that's not a bad thing I would love to see L0 have other games under their belt

It's been a little while since one of the team went into the full spiel, but from what I remember, they don't make shit from sales of the game, regardless of version. This has to do with the byzantine publisher situation. To make another game, either their current publisher would have to start paying them a salary to make it, or a new publisher would need to buy the rights to the franchise, and then hire the team.

The IGG money is all there is, and it's pretty much gone. They're finishing it on principle, which is great, but technically also makes us slave drivers. ARE YOU HAPPY WITH YOURSELF?

I thought they announced a few month ago that hey now get a cut for all the future sales of Skullgirls encore, hence why the arcade and PS4/Vita may help then on the matter, once complete it is a full-fledged sequel after all!

And no, i don't think anyone here is happy being a slavedriver. If the indiegogo was initially successfull, it's not because the fans were cheapskate. They would do the same indiegogo today with double the cost per character and it would probably gets as much money if not more, especially since they proved that they took their mandate seriously the previous time!

Seems they did, and I either didn't see it or simply forgot. Mike set me straight a couple of posts above yours.

I'm now fearful of being out-of-date on Lab Zero happenings, but I'm pretty sure they've already said another IGG was out of the question, is it just wasn't sustainable, and that a publisher deal is pretty much the only way things are going to keep going after Robo Fortune.

Also, I think you misinterpreted my sense of humor. Nobody's seriously asking if you happy being a slave driver. Come on.

They did say that and i believe it. Next step would be a full sequel on the new generation that would take few years to develop, and indeed a Publisher deal is the only hope. Time will tell i guess.

Nah that's ok, i understood the first time! But the situation still irks me hence why i answered like that. It could be worse, someone could have actually answered 'YES I'M HAPPY'!

I'm fairly sure that only Eighty Sixed and Sanshee are licensed to make SG merchandise, so if it's not available from them (and it's not one of the fan-submitted 86'd t-shirt designs), it's probably not official.
