Reading between the lines it seems that SI/Sega risk tolerance for putting real names in was too low vs what risk Markus takes on his own. Small guys like BM and OOTP developments are not worth the lawyers fees to go after. Based on that alone the split makes business sense for both.
Markus would it be accurate to say that you may have an unofficial ongoing relationship with SI? Just not the partnership that could lead to shared liability. Strike that, you probably couldn't answer it anyway.
