These dumb motherfuckers, of course all the top brass faggots will now proclaim that the Stargate IP is just not worth bothering with. It's like that horrible show they released a while back to gauge interest in the franchise.
Is it so hard to just copy the premise from the original show? How humans have to keep exploring alien worlds to find new tech/resources/allies so they can deal with the big bad? Just with that you have a tech tree and resource gathering/crafting (not a fan but it still seems to be popular after all these years), add some off world team management where you have to choose the between soldiers/scientists/lorefags and their equipment and voila, you have team builds (and autists love making/watching "best build" videos). Worlds could be procedurally generated, you wouldn't know whether to expect enemies or some ruins that hint at a new power source (which means team compositions matter). The only problem is any potential interaction with new races as it would probably have to be abstracted down mmo tier quests like "kill the goa'uld outpost and we'll join you".
There you go, a cheap to make systems based game. You don't even need the rights to use the Stargate name, just name it PalGate and watch the sales skyrocket.
