I think they are still selling the old books so hopefully that means they still have the license.

Darren already confirmed last year that he had contact with them, that they were still in business and still working on things.
Strange though. I know for them it's a side business, but up to 2019 there were releases every year, often multiple books per year, and now suddenly the last 3 years it has completely dropped off.

Also wondering if maybe the authors of those books have moved on, since a lot of those books come from the hands of the same authors.
Since Stargate has been off our screens for so long, I'm wondering if there's still a lot of interest among authors to write books for the Stargate franchise.

Yeah it's not looking good it seems.
Would guess if they were out of business the website would be gone too, but it's still online.
No idea what's going on.
I'm starting to have the same vibe as with the Stargate Network fan-made videogame recently: first complete radio silence for a year and then suddenly "yeah, we're done, MGM/Amazon doesn't want to play ball anymore".

It must be said though, applying for a license as a fan network is probably what did them in in the first place. You need some serious investment money to play in the big leagues. The ROI is very important in such cases and MGM already got burned a few times.
I don't understand why MGM can't be more like Disney towards fan-groups (albeit Disney too has its flaws and shortcomings in that regard). MGM could have benefitted from for example the guys who build those lifesize gates (SG-1/SGA) in France (the Belgians did it too but ours was far less sofisticated than the Frenchies). I mean, ask about the Belgians in any group attending the Star Wars Celebrations... they're a bunch of fans who get the chance to build stuff for Disney and even get some support (okay, it does sometime involve an NDA and trust me, those can be steep -- at least I read it before I signed it).Heightmeyer's Lemming -- still the coolest Lemming of the forum
