The only solid benefit they have is Schilling's funding... but after pouring millions into a project and not seeing any results, how long will it be before he begins to think about pulling the plug?

Schilling has endless bucks and is just a gaming junkie like us, so his focus is going to be on a good product first and turnign a profit second. RA Salvatore and Mcfarlane are two of the greatest fantasy storytellers/ image people of all time, and to get them involved in our online worlds is a coup of the highest magnatute. To then mindcontrol Ryan and Steve and all of the following that they have, along with their rather large soapboxes among the interweb gaming intellectuals, they just have made every right move possible in a a short amount of time. (How else could you get them to leave great jobs in sunny Cali, to take a job with an untested company in coler-than-shit, Massachusetts in mid-winter.... had to be Mind Control....) Having a great team and lots of money is all it takes to take this industry to the next level, and GMG is poised to really do it.

His upturn in posts since joining GG are all pretty forward thinking. Shilling is doing a big PR dance on FoH. Can't fault him for that, but between Salvatore who gave me hours of good storied fun and Ryan's experience, it also makes me hopeful. The more these guys strike a chord with veteran gamers, I think the more patience and expectation (i.e. advocacy) they're going to get. Still need to execute, but it's an interesting team.
