If you knew they spent anywhere from 500.00 - 5000.00 to acquire those rights for their studio, would you think that they are willining to spend their money to make a better product? Would you be more likely to look at the d20 logo if that is what it meant?Also, word of mouth and luck is not all it takes. It takes spreading advertisment everywhere so potential customers know about your product, it takes working with retailers to carry your product, it takes getting reviews done, going to trade shows to show it off, and creating marketing buzz. That all takes a solid marketing plan, dedicated staff, time and money. That is what makes or breaks a rpg publisher. Most of the publishers though don't treat it like that. I personally am not a fan of Mongoose's products (except Conan is good). I feel they rush quality and do not test mechanics properily, yet they are pumping out more product than any other company in this industry. Honesty it amazes me they are still in business and have so many liscensed properties. They obviously have a market and are making money or have alot of money from an inheritance to burn. The one thing you can say about Mongoose is they market the hell out of themselves. Everyone knows who they are regardless if you love them or hate them.  They seem to have a smart business model that works for them. I can respect that. They just aren't my cup of tea.</blockquote>
