Yeah, Abe Babe, it's really been pathetic here. I mean, it was even impossible to get a release date and it's not even up on ea's local website.

I think that is pretty much what happened sales wise to OSW. I mean you've all seen the advertisements on websites of OSW a week before it was about to ship...I mean the ads were everywhere. But I think it was way to late to start advertising it.

Ads and marketing are EA's responsibility, not OWI's.

Now I don't know much about economics, but I'm curious if EA will suffer from this loss...or OWI.

EA would take the loss. They paid OWI for the production of the game and they get paid back through sales. OWI probably don't earn any royalties at all until EA breaks even. That would be a fairly standard publishing deal.
