'Royalties'? What are royalties? I get paid in this ambiguous credit that means that someday, I'll get a check from our CFO, when the company has the money to pay the staff writers. Of course, I am a stockholder, which means that I have a nice paper certificate and I get to listen to the CFO argue with the Art Director and the Line Developers about paying the freelance artists and writers too much (his opinion) or not enough (theirs).

Ah, the joys of owning your own game company ....
