It's his idea, but I expressed it.  The copyright is mine, I hold all
rights.  If he wanted ~30% alone for the idea, what does he think
is gonna happen during our "large game" where there concept was
totally mine, and he had little input on development, and money
making potential is much greater.

I am risking cash.  I've got to market the game, which is shareware terms,
basically means, I've got to upload long distance, and mass mail to
everyone I can find.

Also time is money to me, he's still at school, and isn't to my knowledge
looking for a part time job, he lost nothing except some spare time.
I spent 3 weeks minus 3 days going full time at it.

T(B>Wrap it up and move on to the next idea. Next time you might consider

We'll probably end up in a legal battle over our big game at this rate.
