5th edition Hero has been complete for a long time.  Disk in hand ready to 
print.

Cybergames does not have the ability to print.  No in house printing, no 
contract with a printer, no final production staff.  NOTHING.

Would be nice, but I would not place bets on it.

Nobody who was under the screw or still is has anything good to say about CG. 
 To bad none of them thought about that before they signed on the dotted 
line.  Visions of money clouding common sense.

Hasbro has a history of this type of activity, but they have never seen the 
need for a front company to do it.  Not that 3e has anything to fear from 
CG's line, put them all in production and the disruption to 3e sales would be 
nil.  Hell, half of them would be doing d20 tie in material.  Pinnacle and 
Sovereign Stone, the two escapees from CG, are both publishing d20.  Might 
have been a condition of their freedom (feeding the flames of conspiracy 
here).
