<r>Not sure if you said that in response to my post or not, Omote, but I don't see as how him having made a quarter billion (even though it's an OBSCENE amount of money) makes New Line's obligation any less.

<r>I guess my question is: What does the contract say? If it says that they are to pay a certain percentage, then they're obligated to do that. A contract is a contract.

<r>I don't play console games, personally. I'm more of a PC gamer.

What makes a character 'stand out' in a game?

<r>This is an ongoing debate I have with some D&D 3.5 cultists (sorry, couldn't help myself). They say that the lack of prestige classes in C&C makes it so that your character doesn't 'stand out' in a crowd. I say this is utter b*llo*k.<br/> <br/> My very firmly held opinion is that what sep...
