ET First of all, we'd like to add a disclaimer to this whole discussion by saying that this is how it works for us. We can't speak for any other person or company that does this kind of work. It has become apparent to us over the years that there are a lot of misconceptions about what we do and how we do it.
Some people just come out and politely ask their questions.
Others just make assumptions. We understand that these assumptions are born of ignorance about how things actually work in our world, so we try not to get upset about them. But in this column we'd like to clear up some of these misconceptions, to allow a better understanding of what we do. Probably the first thing that people want to know is whether we go to the original PC developers or they come to us. Typically we work through a publisher, most often Aspyr Media or MacSoft.
