Which is that I'm speculating wildly in my own different direction...Anyway, shouldn't crap on another man's wild speculations with my own contradictory wild speculations.I like that Wizards is working with established companies, because it suggests to me that their relationship is probably not too exploitative, and it seems pretty clear to all involved that Wizards is rotating their projects around to different companies, so hopefully nobody is operating under the false pretense of establishing a dedicated relationship with Wizards where suddenly this big D&D pipeline will start flowing into their little company, encouraging them to make huge investments in the company that end up crashing and burning when Wizards moves onto the next studio.This appears to be a mutually beneficial relationship, where Wizards gets to cut costs and overhead and be a little more flexible with what kind of products they produce, while also funneling some of that sweet D&D cash into smaller, but respectable, design studios who can take the paycheck, develop a product that gets heavily marketed to the (relatively) large worldwide D&D audience, and then go back to making their own rpg products. Seems good to me.</blockquote>
