Hope for Another Star Control Sequel?

Pluvius writes "A recent post on GameSpot's Rumor Control blog suggests that there may be a chance for a new entry in the classic Star Control series in the foreseeable future. It would be developed by Toys for Bob, the creator of the first two games in the series, and it is implied that the company already holds the rights for the franchise. Quoting from the article: 'But maybe, just maybe, if enough of you people out there send [Alex Ness, producer] e-mails requesting that Toys For Bob do a legitimate sequel to Star Control 2, I'll be able to show them to [Toys For Bob parent company] Activision, along with a loaded handgun, and they will finally be convinced to roll the dice on this thing.'"

We already knew TFB had the rights to SC2 (though apparently not the name, thus the port goes by Ur-Quan Masters, IIRC). So has something new happened that suggested that they might want to, depending on interest, or is this just another one of those "spam the everloving crap out of this guy until they cave in!" tactics?
