Don't be defensive about this. I enjoy your postings and generally they are both interesting and informative but I simply said it as it is. We are but a drop in the ocean when it comes to how they see the world.

I live and work in an environment where I get to see the top echalons of a business that is disconnected (not in a bad way just in a size way) from its customers and understand the situation more or less. What would happen is your letter would be sent to a secretary or something that would take a single look at it and then delete or bin it. If by some small chance it ever made it to the 'boss' it would not even be considered, most likely. If they did decide to call a board meeting, or get the interested parties together or whatever large scale discussion would be required to consider a request such as this they would immediately jump on all your 'pro's and cons' and would be much more harsh than I was. Even if they DID somehow decide that yes your points are valid it then comes down to the point of who would they make the owner of their new free game? You? Me? The 'EB team' as a whole? Maybe Foot? Unlikely. Having the source code means you OWN the game and all the information nehind it. And if you did own everything what would you do with it?

I could continue all night but the important thing to remember here is that your letter would NEVER get past the first hurdle anyway so all the rest I put down is just my brain being buggered up by my drug of choice.

Once again, i meant no disrespect to you I am just being as direct as possible.
