Kickstarter for Amalur?

Gestalt

Does anyone know the possibility of raising money on kickstarter to bid to Rhode Island for all of the Amalur assets, code, and properties to become creative commons/open source? People could contribute what they able to and in the end everything becomes open for access and use in whatever way.

I'd imagine a lot of enthusiasts, modders, and developers would be interested, having access to all of the textures (potentially an amazing open texture library), assets, code, sound samples, music, lore, etc.

I would certainly chip in, but I think considering on how people around the 'higher offices' said something like "LOL, we know how to fix this, here is more cash, minus 3/4 of it which will deposited in funds to make up in long term" it kinda make me think it might not be possible.

On the other hand, maybe Epic can buy it out and show off a new version of the game in UE4?

Too much of an amount to raise on kickstarter, not enough fans to do it.

And since the Rhode Island government owns the property, they won't sell it like that anyway. They will privately try to get what they can to offset their losses. Personally I don't think the asset has much value though...

It's not like buying a fixer-upper house.
