Q Take me back, because I, I, it would be, it would be very stupid for me to have the former Activision, you know, guy on the show and not ask about this. In 91, what did you see in an alien company as an asset that gave you the courage to go in and take it over?
A Well, it's a great story. What happened was, We were in the software business at that point. I don't know if you remember CD-ROM software, uh, personal computers. That was a world totally different than today. You had the computers at home and the computers at work. They were not the same. And we were looking for a business to grow. And we saw Activision as a publicly traded company on the NASDAQ going bankrupt, having a huge problem with their cashflow. They were, they had over Close to twenty million dollars in debt. They had no cash. They were bleeding. And we said, you know what? Let's see if we can take it over. So we, we bought 30% of the company from one investor was a venture capitalist. We was like, you know what? I'm out. So we paid that, I think, 400 grand.
