Well, we have to start somewhere and that might as well be with the
company that 
can provide the biggest slice of the market. From our POV it will not be
cheap 
providing them with prototypes they can play with. At present it would be 
something like $50k per shot pre-production. We cannot multiply that by
100.

What we need is someone who can get into the source code of (say) Call of
Duty 
2, modify the code and then re-release it as an upgrade. That's not likely
to be 
someone we employ.
