Hey riot! ....wanna buy Dawngate? I'll help pay!
I have been mourning EA's decision to annex DG as soon as it was announced and I have been working my hardest to raise awareness and try nd get other companies interested in keeping both these people and this world I've come to love alive, and I will not stop until the game has a secure spot in someone's metaphysical arms (even their own).
Now, I know this game is published by EA, and they probably won't just had an IP over without a payment, so I propose that Riot talk to some individuals at EA (more specifically the people who control the licence) and ask how much in dollars it would take to give the intellectual property to them, and if they don't want to pay right then and there, they can open up an RP-based (or normal cash based) donation pool with a set goal and rewards if it succeeds, for people to pay a selected amount of RP at a time to generate buzz, interest, and good publicity for once, once they get enough money, they will go to EA and Rito will have two Mobas 0_0
In all seriousness, this could be really good for content creation if they were being developed jointly and indirectly together, you could share ward skins amongst both games, have announcers for both titles (imagine Renzo announcing a SR match, or Mordekaiser telling you that your spirit well was taken), or even open the floodgate for crossover events to occur and create a larger and stronger community for this game.
I would appreciate it if someone at riot would reply to this post and negotiate some sort of plan of action, because I really want thiis game to live, and I will be devoted wholeheartedly to you all if you bring this back to life, you don't know how much this game matters to me.
