AI Studios, Franchises and Rights

I'm making steady progress on my way to the first alpha version. Yesterday I finished a feature that will greatly improve realism.
As you might know you can buy source material and franchises to create adaptions, sequels, remakes and so on. Now the AI Studios will do the same, so the rights you want to acquire might no longer be for sale. 



However you can always try to buy the rights you want from another studio. This will, of course, cost more and there is always the possibility that a studio doesn't want to sell you the rights to their most successful franchise, no matter how much money you are offering.  

 

AI Studios might also approach you with an offer to buy your franchises. If you're strapped for cash that can be a great way to make a lot of money quickly, but handing over a successful franchise to a competitor might hurt you on the long run.
