[QUOTE="Oofta, post: 9461511, member: 6801845"] Let me rephrase. I disagree. We don't know the exact details of the deal but I don't see any way that it would be "Make whatever you want, whenever you want, at whatever volume you want for next to nothing." That makes no sense. We don't know exact details, but I guarantee that the money companies make money off of licensing is a decent chunk of change. Typical deals are somewhere between 5-10% of the retail value each sale, often with other up front charges. We don't know the details of what WotC is getting for this or other licensing agreements, but they aren't letting WizKids or Lego do this stuff out of charity. NOTE: technically these may be royalty fees instead of licensing fees, it's just a difference on how the agreement is written and how payments are determined. Since we don't know how it's set up I'm using licensing. [/QUOTE]
