For Tracers, we got 12% of gross receipts. Sounds good, no? None of this "net"
stuff. Trouble is, they got a second company to do all the production work,
which cut the gross receipts way down. They also promised they'd do ports of
the game. So here I am corresponding with the programmer doing the IBM-PC port
and she stops writing. So I call her up on the phone "Oh, they cancelled the
port, didn't they tell you?".
Alternative marketing sounds more and more desirable.
