Microsoft owns Crimson Skies, actually.  If they are planning on doing
anything with it, I haven't heard about it.  The rights for VOR reverted
to
the game's designer; he says that he has plans for keeping it alive.  I
do
know that xB9 Games (formerly DemonBlade) is going to be producing a
product that converts the VOR armies to their WarEngine system; so far
as
the folks at xB9 know, this is still going to happen.  Who will be
producing the figures, I don't know -- xB9 already has the rights for
Legions of Steel, and should be selling those figures again soon, so I'm
hoping that they can negotiate to get VOR as well.
