Potentual revenue: selling IP
I want to see Darwinia2. but nowhere near as much as I want to see a brand new origonal IV game so I thought: if IV never plans to do sequils why not let companies buy the right to make a sequil? Its free money.
This is more of an opinion than factual information, but if IV sold the rights to Darwinia, it would be bought by some huge mega-whatever game developer and turned into a giant over bearing monstrosity. This is not IV's philosophy. As you may (or may not have read), Introversion is one of the few smaller game development companies around, without any inside investments.
But hey, times change.

Well you probably couldn't sell the rights twice. . .
The thing is, there is no reason for anyone to buy the rights to Darwinia or Uplink. If someone wants to make a hacking game, they will simply make one. There is little if anything gained from adding the name "Uplink" to it. Dawinia is much the same (although the Darwinia universe is unique, it doesn't have enough of a following to make it worth buying).
