Apparently, the $ 3,270,000+ the now-defunct MMO Ashes of Creation raised on Kickstarter was chump change compared to the money on the table from outside investors. Namely, Riot Games, which reportedly offered a huge sum for the game, according to its director, Steven Sharif.
The information comes from a court document posted on the Ashes of Creation subreddit. It contains a copy of an email from Riot to Sharif, who was co-founder and CEO of Intrepid Studios, and John Moore, the company's CFO. The outfit behind League of Legends was humoring an acquisition of Intrepid and the fantasy MMORPG, for a total sum of between $250-and-$500 million.
