Its not a matter of opinion. Its unlikely the judge will release the inventory, but if if he does, the logistics of physical recovery plus the legal fees will make the outcome problematical. Its a lot more likely the inventory is simply liquidated and the funds doled out among the creditors...

Read the thread. The status of consignment goods has been covered in detail several times by several different people.

Again, they are not claiming it for themselves; it is being liquidated to compensate creditors, as per the court instructions.

They do try, but their presentation is rough, and the combat structure is uninspired.

Its the same as countless other systems. Whether you call it a fast & slow action, or a complex & simple action, or Movement/Action/bonus Action/reaction, etc, its all the same. Every combat round is the same for everyone, forver. Tedious in the extreme. There's zero room for player input; its...

Its simple enough, but for a game based on combat (T2k4e), it is mind-numbingly unoriginal, inflexible, and clumsy. I ripped it out and replaced it before we started.

US case law and statutes show a distinct lean towards loan sources in bankruptcy proceedings. Yes, loan paperwork is normally a lot tighter than business agreements, but the banking lobby swings a lot of weight over here.

I tried T2k4e; the system didn't do well in a long campaign due to the limited number of skills and limited number of possible improvements. The combat system is not terribly intuitive, as the 'fast and slow action are not readily translated into PC actions. It was OK, but I won't use it again.

LLM/AI is at the stage video games were in 1990. They were fun, but not a serious challenger to TTRPGs or traditional war games played F2F. 35 years later, video games are huge and still growing, and online gaming is steadily gaining traction.

I wasn't intending to call you out, just being a bit pedantic.

To be honest, AI players are my dream. No scheduling issues, no need to vet.

It is not to keep the distributor in business, it is to extract as many funds as possible, with which to pay creditors.

Because they will have, or be operating under the threat of, a court order to liquify all assets as efficiently as possible. Failure to do so will open them as specific individuals for a charge of contempt of court, and in many states, fraud. The two reality TV stars recently pardoned are...

In the USA, in most states, the court sides with creditors. While Diamond will liquidate the inventory, they will not keep the money except for certain overhead costs; the bulk will go to creditors, with institutions with outstanding loans generally getting first shot at compensation. The...
