G'day!

I know something about GTI as I was recently approached to help them. I'm curious to hear your opinion on whether this info would affect your attitude on their price for the next few months, despite Christmas coming soon. I am new to SI but really love it.
So forgive me if I am not conforming to your "rules".

I am an executive from the consumer gaming software industry. GTI, as you probably know, doesn' t develop much, they license ID's products, Doom, Quake, etc, and sells them. And, they do a great job. (The man charge is actually from Sega who really helped build their brand in the 90-94 era.) So, the liabillity is that GTI isn't really creating any worthwhile properties, butu in fact like Acklaim only is as good as the last deal they can make. Well, sorry for intro, that is about to change.
GTI has started to build their own studio's to build their own product. And they are serious about it. The good is that they will make an additional profit margin on any hit they created. The bad is that it will take millions, I mean $4-10 million for it to happen. And, buying a hit, is way easier than creating one.
Can they do it? If they start making the hits, what happens to profits. Will their parent company Good Times, have the patience?

Your turn.
