Well that's what I was thinking as well.

I suppose they would be in two minds about taking it on even if it was a viable project for several reasons, the main one being a part of SL and have it shot in the head in front of you, then have the assassin come and ask you to help.
You would need either a very thick skin or a very short memory or be paid very, very well to sort out the "Supposed" to completion to the standard of SL with so few staff.
I can't see it happening , at least ATM.
They need to build the studio up first, get a killer game out, then pick and choose their projects after hiring more staff.
