I want to see Firefly Online complete development and be released.

"Firefly Online is a strategic role-playing video game developed by Spark Plug Games and Quantum Mechanix for Microsoft Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android, based on the Firefly franchise...

"...Originally planned for launch in Spring 2015, the developers were required to recreate large amounts of it after the original show's cast was brought on to provide voice acting. John O'Neill, CEO of Spark Plug Games, said that they were having to "change everything" and that they were deliberately not providing development updates to avoid "saying something that’s wrong again." The last post on Firefly Online's Facebook page dated March 2016 said, "We're still here. We're still flyin'. [The] game is still in development. Stay tuned." "

Now for a more personal note:

There have been many of us that were looking forward to Firefly Online. I include myself among those that downloaded the Firefly Cortex App in anticipation of getting access to Firefly Online. Within that number, there were also those of us that Paid for the "Big Damn Hero" status to be included in the Credits of the game.  Though I am not one of the following group; there were many that bought the virtual card packs to complete their collections of the cards in the Firefly Cortex App, to therefore get the digital rewards that would be available in Firefly Online upon release. We still want it. We are still looking forward to it. I know I would be willing to pay for it possibly on a monthly basis similarly to MMOs like World of Warcraft

The solution is to convince the powers that be at Fox/Disney to complete the licensing contract to allow the creation of the Firefly Online game by Quantum Mechanix and Sparkplug Games so that those of us that have been waiting on this for the past 4+ years will be able to finally spend some time in the 'verse in a more immersive manner. 

I may not have watched the show when it aired originally, partly because at the time it came out I was working evenings, but once I saw any of the show, I was hooked. I probably watch it at least once a year beginning to end including the Serenity movie. I still occasionally play on the Firefly Cortex App, even though it isn't contacting the servers anymore. I was in a group playing the board game once a month until I moved, and as nice as that is, it was only once a month. I'd like to be able to play when I want, where I want, with as many or as few people as I want. I want to keep flying. Will you join me so that we can all keep flying with our friends from the 'verse?
