[QUOTE="Staffan, post: 9669162, member: 907"] There's a classic joke that's around in a couple of different versions. One is told [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQjM5qsVryw']here[/URL] by Paul McCartney. Getting into business with nazis is much like bleeping goats. Do it once, and it will overshadow all your other accomplishments. And in this case, Goodman can't even plead ignorance. Bledsaw revealed himself for all the world to see a long time ago, and at the time Goodman did the right thing and cut business ties to the extent he could. But now, for some reason, he has chosen to again do business with Judges Guild. And why? To produce a new version of a mediocre city setting with some mild historical interest? Back in 2020, Goodman stated: And now they're doing CSIO. Bledsaw states that this was an agreement they made in 2022. I see a couple of possibilities here: [LIST=1] [*]Bledsaw is lying, and the agreement to do CSIO goes back farther than that. This seems to be what Goodman is saying, in which case he lied in 2020 when he said they didn't have any plans for more JG stuff. [*]Bledsaw is telling the truth, at least on this specific point, in which case Goodman for one reason or another decided in 2022 that doing business with JG wasn't that bad after all. [/LIST] There is some possible nuance here. The best possible interpretation I can come up with is that there were contracts dating back to pre-2020, but that for whatever reason Bledsaw had some form of hold on the approval and lifted that hold in 2022. In that case, Goodman could have been speaking the truth in 2020 about not having any more plans for JG stuff and still have contractual obligations today dating back to before the original controversy. But that seems like a very tortured interpretation of various statements. [/QUOTE]
