[QUOTE="Shadewyn, post: 4131627, member: 6340"] Hmmm ... Major corporations with market research and various buisiness professionals on this board (I am a financial analyst by trade) ... or a small time group of creative writers with very limited resources. I do belive sir that there are some VERY exciting opportunities in Floridian swamp land that I would like to discuss with you if you have the time. :) If you think that the fact that one is "in a business" means knowing how to "run a business" then you are not aware that lots of business research today pegs the rate of small business failure at around 50% to 75% in the first 5 years due (go google the intrawebs, there is a lot of backup data on this)[COLOR=Red]*[/COLOR]. Number one cause of small business failure in the first 5 years ... Failure to understand their market. Based on those odds alone unless you know of sheer BRILLANCE at Paizo in the corporate sence (they certainly have in in their writing) then the Vegas odds are that they made a bone head move. However just like Vegas where people KNOW they will statisically fail and loose money, you can build an empire of glitz and glam on top of the shattered hopes and dreams of those who refuse to face reality. [COLOR=Red]*by the way I am quoting conservative failure rates. Some universities quote a nearly 90% failure rate, largely for shock value and most feel they incorporate things that are not true deaths.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
