That's a really pessimistic approach. Why do you think it will _never_ be made? That's non-sense. One day or another, one way or another, it will be finished. Either by interplay, or by someone who will want to revive history and buy the lisence from Interplay.
And as for the lisence price, as far as I heared, it would cost at least a couple of million $.
I'm with you, brother! We should belive, how sad grand dady Lenin...
