Decipher Losses Star Wars
License
Decipher has announced that they will be losing the Star Wars CCG license. Here are a few words from Warren Holland, the CEO of Decipher.
"Today my job is a little bit tougher... and it involves giving you some sad and unpleasant news about the Star Wars license.
Lucasfilm has decided not to renew Decipher's CCG license past the end of this year and our current manufacturing and sell-off period is through April 30, 2002.
While we have to accept this decision by Lucasfilm, I want to assure everyone that Decipher will not abandon our players, retailers, or distributors. Decipher's business is quite strong at the moment and if it were up to us, we would be making Star Wars cards for the next twenty years.
I also want to let our customers know, that this decision by Lucasfilm does not reflect Decipher's wishes. We understand the depth of love that people have for these games and we will do our part to honor and respect that.
We have some very innovative ideas to discuss with you on how Decipher will continue to provide service and support for these games. I'll give you more details about what we are going to do around this decision as the interview progresses.
