The Boston Globe's Innovation Economy blog is reporting that Curt Schilling will be visiting Harvard Business School tomorrow to discuss the challenges and dilemmas associated with launching and funding 38 Studios. For those of us interested in the business side of 38S, this is a very compelling subject. It sounds like Schilling is speaking frankly about his huge personal financial investment, as well as some of the more subtle, psychological challenges of launching a successful start-up. 38 Studios' CEO, Jen MacLean will also be in attendance. I'm not sure what kind of coverage this event will be receiving, but I will forward anything I find to you folks.

p.s. I figure some of you have zero interest in the "business" of 38 Studios, outside of Copernicus itself, but I'd imagine that enough of you are interested in this stuff to warrant some coverage. Please let me know if I am wrong.

While my family is obviously the priority, and 38 Studios is a priority, I do have some interest in the possibility. That being said, to get to there from where I am today, many many things would have to align themselves for that to truly happen. I am not going to comment further on the matter since at this point it would be speculation on top of speculation. My hope is that whatever happens, and whomever it happens to, this state makes the decision and chooses the best person, regardless of sex, race, religion or political affiliation, to help get this state back to the place it deserves to be.

“The acquisition of Big Huge Games will be tremendously beneficial to the growth, market position, financial stability, and long-term success of 38 Studios,” Brett Close, 38 Studios’ CEO, said in a statement. “The acquisition enables us to develop and deliver top-quality games in multiple genres that are based in a shared world, ultimately maximizing the value of our Copernicus [game] and the intellectual property as a whole.”
