>>> I really hate to be the bearer of bad news Scott but these things that you easily push aside have more bearing on future performance than all the inside information that you could ever muster. The fact that you don't even know the very basic information necessary to analyzing the company's financial structure does little for you credibility. <<<
<g> Let me type this slowly so you don't miss the point, as you're quite prone to do: The information I give here may or may not be ground breaking, but that's not the point. I'm simply here to provide whatever info I have and try to answer questions. If you don't think my contribution is of value, do us all a favor and skip my messages and above all, quit making dumbass comments about them that do nothing but clutter this thread. Sheeeeesh!
>>> ...there is an outside chance that after talking to THE Scott Miller I might be inclined toward a pirate copy of Duke Nukem Forever! But that wouldn't hurt 3DRealms, only GT. Wow! His behavior here is now finally starting to make sense. As Scott has not even a passing acquaintance at such trivial things such as accounting I wonder how much help he would be in answering your questions. After all, 3D Realms gets a pay check regardless of whether the game sells or not. <<<
Wow, where do I begin with this mess! Let's see...
[1] Pirating any of our games would definitely take dollars out of our pocket. Guess what Bob, GT pays us a "royalty." The way it works is that when they sell a game we get a percentage of the take. Unfortunately, GT doesn't pay us "whether the game sells or not"!!! Gosh, that would be great though--maybe I'll run that idea by them... <ggg>
[2] Accounting is hardly a trivial thing, Bob. Did you realize it's a college degree? Accountants are not as unskilled as burger flippers, Bob. Also, I know a bit about accounting (having taken a few college courses on the subject), but the point you clearly missed is that I don't have access to GT's books. You can understand that, right Bob? As you've pointed out yourself, I don't work for GT, so why, Bob, would I have access to their books? Please explain that one to me. (Actually, please don't bother.)
Your next two messages that referenced me are only worth ignoring they're so inane.
