After posting a story Tuesday about the rumored demise of SubSpace and the breakup of the SubSpace development team, GameSpot News received a good deal of reader feedback from those concerned about the future of the popular space fighter.

　　While the information remains sketchy, the future doesn't look bright for SubSpace fans.

　　The title was not one of the titles Electronic Arts took control of when EA acquired various Virgin Interactive Entertainment properties (VIE publishes SubSpace) last month. Even though most all game development personel formerly with Virgin in the US remain employed, they are employees of Electronic Arts. Their activities are administered by Westwood Studios (also purchased in the EA/VIE deal).

　　A source close to that deal said that the SubSpace team was hard at work building a SubSpace-like title based upon a Star Trek: Voyager license formerly acquired by Westwood. This is a license that hasn't received much of a public profile by Westwood.

　　GameSpot News contacted Westwood Studios where a spokesperson confirmed that Westwood did have the Voyager license, but they would not comment on whether or not that license had any bearing on what the SubSpace team was working on.

　　Responding to rumors that state Virgin's SubSpace servers will go down on October 31, GameSpot News contacted Virgin's UK office, the group in charge of the game's fate, but the office had not responded by press time.

　　More news of the fate of SubSpace as we get it.
