JMS had a big hand in hiring these guys to do the games...
Warner
Brothers just went along with it. There were a couple larger game
companies that were interested but the inside track was already taken.
That is too bad, there was such an opportunity here. Now not only will

not gain a large market share in the toy area but a small market share
of
the gaming world (which unfortunately is not that big to start with...)
