So one year, as Ben says, they could sell two novels being a 45 million company, then a few years later they had to sell a dozen or more. Them splitting the hobby was done in part because they were chasing the SAME revenue. And what hurt them was the investment and cost of those large amount of products vs what that did earlier on, a burden carried by one company. The OGL glut spread that investment to OTHER companies entirely.</blockquote>
