: Um, no companies are MERGING with AW; partnerships are not mergers. And in case you've been under a rock since AWCI first went
public, there stock as been dropping since $5 for the past 9 months or so. Investors aren't being fooled by Rick and JP's games.
Yes, AWCI may be making a pathetically small profit, but until Rick and JP can show they actually have DIRECTION for AW, and aren't
just playing the latest oh-gee-let's-see-what-the-media-is-hyping-this-month card (like "e-commerce"), don't expect AWLD stock to
rise anytime soon.

: It's funny: I told Rick the other day in a telegram that he really needs to start getting a direction for AW and he replied with
something to the effect of "well, we ARE going to the Game Developers Conference". I was like, uh, so? Your point? If you don't want
AW to be the laughing stock of the GDC you should make AW more gamelike BEFORE setting up a booth there. Duh. He still doesn't get
it. Ah well...perhaps some game developer WILL get it after seeing how pathetically mediocre AW is and develop something MUCH better
(or acquires AWCI and develops AW CORRECTLY).
