[casual_games] System for Aggregating Royalty Data

[Lennard Feddersen]

I have something trivial that I doubt would help... but I do have some 
gripes! 

When most of the portals deliver their royalty checks the $ aren't 
broken down by title.  Since every title usually has royalty agreements 
in place on my side, this is a problem when those checks arrive.

Is this not a problem other people are having? 

On another note, and I've griped about this before as well, the handheld 
portals tend to let you see sales in real time but most of the PC 
portals don't provide this kind of thing.  Not helpful when you have to 
wait a couple of months after a titles release to make plans about 
upgrades and sequels.

Ok, sorry about hijacking your thread Wade - I owe you a drink if we 
ever meet up in realtime.
