[5:04:42 PM] Will/Tellis: they... want to pay their artists well? I'm missing something, I'm sure
[5:04:58 PM] Sengir: some of these make so little sense that either a) they dont know how to mange money or b) they're intentionally asking for extra
[5:05:30 PM] Sengir: no; they want /you/ to pay their artists well
[5:06:02 PM] Sengir: a company shouldnt have to hoist top-tier wages on its fans (especially when at least 8 of those people are apparently in-house)
[5:06:08 PM] Will/Tellis: yeah that's true
[5:06:11 PM] Sengir: and then expect pure profit back
[5:06:25 PM] Sengir: because all future sales will be 100% profit
