Actually, that "six employees" only counts the folks working directly for
Apogee (taking/filling orders, support, etc).  They also "have" 12-15 people
on "development teams" (ie, the programmers/artists/etc).  They don't really
"work for" Apogee, as they're really independent companies that contract with
Apogee to distribute their products (like Id, for example, whom I just heard
will be doing their own distribution/publishing on future products).
