With all of the excitement surrounding Shadow Complex, I think most of us had forgotten Chair Entertainment was working on an adaptation of Ender's Game for digital distribution outlets. Little other than an emphasis on the fiction's Battle Room was known about the project, and there's a reason for that.
While Chair "had an amazing design" for Ender's Game, studio co-founder Donald Mustard told Joystiq, "one of Epic's primary objectives is to create original and unique franchises. I don't know that Ender's Game fits into that strategic objective anymore."
"If anyone decides they want to make it, I have some ideas I'd love to talk to them about."
That's cause for celebration, assuming you either dislike licensed games or Orson Scott Card. Or, maybe you just want that darned Shadow Complex sequel. Either way, I can't fault you.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

NOW WHERES MY EFFIN SHADOW COMPLEX 2???? (or something as cool)
Seriously, regardless of what you think of Orson Scott Card or licensed franchises, that's not a reason to be glad that we're not getting interesting gameplay.
I'm glad they decided to not do this. I'd rather not see the few action scenes in Enderss Game neutered to appeal to a wider audience or stretched out to fill out a game's quota of gameplay time.
Also, the enemy's gate is down.
