Where would you go, if they closed down?

It is absolutely necessary, for the peace and safety of mankind, that some of earth's dark, dead corners and unplumbed depths be left alone; lest sleeping abnormalities wake to resurgent life, and blasphemously surviving nightmares squirm and splash out of their black lairs to newer and wider conquests.

Doesn't he plan to give control of DF to one of his relatives or a trusted person if he dies? Heard something like that somewhere.

AFAIK there is a document stipulating that in the event of Toady's untimely demise the ownership and creative control of Dwarf Fortress would be split 50/50 between Tencent and Electronic Arts. Pathos would be in charge of arbitrating disagreements.

I thought Disney was going to buyout everything related to Dwarf Fortress.

Could be. I mean Disney has been buying a lot of stuff lately.

But I think it's more likely it will become an Epic Games exclusive

Fake News! I heard from my friend's cousin's dad's half-brother who is a janitor at Bay12 that ToadyOne and ThreeToe are actually Lizardfolk Illuminati and will live forever!

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

All of this false information going around is covering up the truth, when they pass away the game and all files related to it are going to put in a safe then thrown into a volcano!

Hmm, as I read the OP, then the question is not about the Dwarf Fortress game, but about the Bay12 community.

I hope we would have time to agree on a new forum to migrate to.
If Rimworld have an independent forum, then that would be a possible successor.
I.e. part of what makes the Bay12 forum is that there is one central game that everyone (I guess) have some interest in, but it allows people to take a break from managing dwarfs, and just hang out in the lower forum until the interest is rekindled or a new version arrives.  :)
