The grand prize of guessing goes to Hard, who got this all the way back in September.

Special mention goes to Olthar, who has guessed all of our stupid plot twists and is probably a witch.

They were also the only magitech company in the human world for three years, with lots of pretty toys to sell to Sanchez.

That just means they would have gotten lazy without a competitor to keep them at the top of their game. Why work hard when the people have no choice but to buy your shit? Then Jojo came along being all Steve Jobs about it and revolutionized magitech. Dai and D's company may be a mere three years older, but that does not automatically make them better.

Because Dai is lazy.

That should have immediately tipped you off to the fact that she was right.

To be honest, Night TG's me and goes "Richard's Yahweh".

I laugh and go, "What?"

He goes, "No, really. He's Yahweh. That's where he went after he left Heaven, Earth."

"You better not fuck this up - this can either be really good or really bad."

"I'll do my best."

"At least no one will ever guess this."

Two hours later, Olthar.

Why spend $50 to make a product when you can spent $30 to make it and still sell it at the same price? Capitalism does not care about creating quality products or making people satisfied; capitalism only cares about profit, and when one company has a total monopoly over a market, quality becomes a non-issue. It doesn't matter how good your products are because people will have to buy them, anyways. Thus, you start cutting down the quality to cut down the costs and make more money. That's how it works.

If he doesn't then he's incompetent at running a company, and Jojo will have passed him, anyways.

I'm just guessing - it's up to Night.

Oh. Since you used him in your epilogue I figured he was another thing you'd slowly wrenched control of from Night's fingers.

Of course. I'm not arguing that at all, and I never have been. In fact, I willingly admit that they are very likely even richer than Jojo.

Keep in mind that Damien only gave half of his money to the Jamesons. :P

D is the richest man alive.

He wisely spends this money on Maxwell House coffee and updates for HAL.
