I am not trying to start any rumors, and maybe my thinking is out of line, but here goes. Did anyone notice that GTIS's "Deer Hunter" beat out "Riven" last month? Its probably because the game only cost $19.99 but I am wondering if BROD is starting to worry that "Riven" is not going to be the same cash cow that "Myst" was. And Maybe MPRS would be a good target for them to add some depth to their lineup. Also, I couldn't help but notice the fall in THQI today. I have no idea what THQI finances are like and if they are in a position to do a takeover, but buying MRPS could help fill the gap of lost wrestling game revenues. I actually thing MPRS will do fine on their own over the next several months, and does not need a takeover to save it. Its just that the recent news events for BROD and THQI got me thinking that they might soon be on the prowl for more games. Certainly THQI would have a goldmine if they brought all of MPRS games to the console, and MRPS could continue to function as a fairly independent Co. producing PC games. Just some thoughts. Do not take any of this seriously. John
