V-V
You previously said "So, I'm not really saying they're going to do one thing or the other (license vs sell)...I think they're putting themselves in the best positioni to choose, and gain leverage in the meantime. I simply don't believe someone else will let them get that far."
What I do not find clear is whether your last sentence refers to someone preventing PTK from choosing their playing partner, or to someone preventing PTK from licensing or being bought-out.
Sorry to be a bother.
