Subject:	Re: Falcon5 and SuperPAK questions

I'd like to ask a follow up question(s) now if you
don't mind...If I understood you correctly, you're
saying that Glenn\iBeta got the QA contract.

Yes. That is correct.

Do you mean for Falcon V?

Yes.

If so do you know if he's doing it for money or for
free?

He will be getting paid just like any other QA company
would.


If it's for money do you know how he's to be paid?
From G2, from Infogrames, > from a percentage of
FalconV sales?

It is part of G2i's development budget as far as I
know. It IS possible that he will get a percentage of
profits. Eric mentioned that there was not a whole lot
of the pie left to share when I suggested that the
third party guys should get a royalty payment if they
developed for FV. It was ALWAYS part of the plan that
the third party guys would develop FV for no
compensation.

Here's an excerpt from an ICQ chat with Claude
Cavanaugh:

would be at our disposal should we choose to press
forward iwwith license infirngements. cendse violations
[Shadow] They have the DX* 8 engine well underway.  I

vanishing anyway. 
[Shadow] i don't know how linong i will leet thet them
continue.  the DX* 9 8 is a tall order.  and they may

Was their really a feeling Glenn came in here to "help"
all for free with no future financial interests?

Now that's funny.
