The value of any PBM game compared to a PBEM such as a Olympia are low,
my only problem with OLY is that it isn't a space opera and I just can't
really get interested in fantasy games.  According to RTG, BSE more then
pays for itself, but isn't nowhere near the profit maker that Victory! is
for them due to the high overhead costs involved in running the game and
they have indicated that they will look at giving it a ground-up
reprograming after SuperNova:ROTE is released.
