God I hope not <g>. That would mean the one game we have in playtest and the
other 5 in production won't have homes to go to. Nothing worse than an
unwanted, unloved PBM/PBeM.

Actually from all indications, the PBM/PBeM market is opening up further,
especially in the Mediterranean several new companies serving Med countries
have opened up in the past few years.

Also, we've got a lot of people interested in licensing our games. As a
company that intends to solely develop and license out game administration
software and not run the games ourselves, we certainly hope that our
licensees won't 'hit a roof'.

Remember a PBM/PBeM is for life, not just a dozen turns <s>.
