It is the advantage of the VGAP that it has a lot of games around the
world. 1%, I know this is only an estimate number, but how many games
will it be?

Consider the Stars! game. There probably only has about 30 games in the
Internet. Some might played in the local but I have no idea. This is
the only guy that I know who will charge for playing in the game.
So, you want to say 1/30 > 1%? I don't think so. When you see many
people are charging for playing in their "Stars!" game, then your
argument will be true.
