OA, ST and SW: The Big Three

[Avengium]

To make serious money we'd likely have to dumb it down for broad appeal.

Or we can illustrate the masses. XD
I really like when a plot is well done. I like when a plot is coherent, not only fireworks.

I still think the most likely path for OA to become really popular would be for a writer, or group of writers, to write a series of really good books set in the OA universe, given how that's the path most other hard sci fi settings have taken. That really takes individual initiative though.

Maybe a series of book that are character driven with protagonists that are nearbaseline or cyborgs / other modos / sophonts with a past. With adventure and romance set in OA. With humour and great quotes said by AI and Vecs.
I think people loves the character of "glaDOS" and is an Antagonist AI.

The stories also need Meistersingers being awesome. I love when a Meistersinger talks about something and say: "Discover it for yourself, i don't want to ruin you the fun of the discovery".
The slogan could be: "Meistersingers goes where no other sophont has gone before".
