It's been interesting hearing about the mid-80s troubles for the company, and how much Gygax's royalties were a factor. Including their payment hampering the company, their non-payment contributing to the rift between Kevin Blume and Gygax, and their deferral leading to Gygax being able to take control of the company.
Though they brought on themselves with egos and early profligacy, it's hard to not feel some sympathy for everyone involved. The company just grew too big, too fast, and Gygax and the Blumes weren't equipped to manage it. Not to mention the difficulty of being a pen-and-paper RPG company in the first place.
