[QUOTE="marketingman, post: 1588631, member: 19249"] Good Points Trollwad, But WotC is Hasbro which has had an 11% increase in profit over 20o2 at 3.139 billion in revenue ranked 510 in Fortune magazine the stock is also well entrench with institional accounts. The OGL allow them to have a thinner R&D. Actually they can just buy anyone that they feel is an up and comer while allowing others to leave as they wish to start thier own endvores not diluting company profits in support of system that are not profitable. even if Eberon is a total failure WotC lights will still be on payroll will still be meet and it will be support for at least a cyle while they develop more product. Monte he takes a bigger risk but trusts in his ability to pick his ponies. Something simaler happened in 1960 when the gang of eight rebelled against the owner of the patented of the semiconducter, All of them wer engineers who had the patent owner. The gang of eight became Intel. What inside. Kind of ironic. Ok back to my ignorance. [/QUOTE]
