I have read on other web sites that deal with strategy/wargames that
Microprose is being sold to Hasbro Interactive. Hasbro has already purchased
Avalon Hill and the last I heard about this at Wargamer.com was that Hasbro
was trying to purchase Microprose also. If this is true, perhaps that is why
there has been no response from them regarding the remake of XCOM.
