GW had independent interest in Moorcock. Chaosium maintained a friendly
relationship with GW long after they had dumped every other American
relationship. We finally broke up because Brian Ansell wanted to make a
UK RPG of Stormbringer, and I told him that Chaosium would be unhappy
about that, since we had the US license for the same, and would fight
the sale of their game in the US if they did that. Which made GW
unhappy, and ended our long relationship.

I'd only say that "Wrong, wrong, wrong" is an understatement.
