I think that's easy to say when you look at a success story like this but how likely is that really Imagine if someone came to you and said they had brewed the best ever IPA and it would blitz the market and a 2% share would make you a multimillionaire. Or you could take a $150k cash payout for some contract work. Honestly which would you pick, knowing that the IPA market is already oversaturated with deadass microbreweries? I dunno, I've just seen too many stories lately where someone took the sum instead of the percentage and we're screwed royally. There are a couple examples in the Netflix series The Toys that Made Us that Ive been watching lately. I believe there are video game franchises and clothing lines that have made the same mistake. (I thought under armor was an example but I'm not finding anything to confirm it. It must be another athletics line I'm forgetting). Plus from the author's perspective, why even sell your rights if you think the project will fail? We're living in a time where all kinds of books are crossing into television and movies. Why not wait until there is a project you have confidence in? Heck the author himself will now get an Amazon show as a result of the games. --- I have trouble concentrating because I have 80HD. <cite>TheBiggerWiggle posted [p:909925962] in Witcher au...
