That's how other big companies operate.Regarding the weighing of costs between ventures in a single company owned by Hasbro. From all the vile complaints of not getting a 'game table', one would think that buying an existing VT app, making it available to DDi would be an easy and profitable solution.Take all I say with a grain of salt, since I do not support 4e, and by preference would want WotC to stay out of MapTools business. As a gamer, I don't want WotC to do that.But from a business point of view, I see it as a very smart decision and something Hasbro/WotC should do. And by not doing something like that, it seems like a poor business decision not pursuing that line of thinking.I'm no coder, and I realize that coding a usable VT app is harder than one thinks, however, as I said in my previous posts - there's something like 20 companies offering VT apps now, and almost none of them had any serious capital to work with in developing those tools. Now you look at Hasbro/WotC and you know there's capital available to spend. Why not spend it, for a great return on investment?GP</blockquote>
