Would be nice if it wasn't the case, but such is the life of a consultant.

I offered to pay him a larger amount so I could resell MY idea, and pay him for updates etc. So thats not it either. This guy is just a flake. If he would of told me he wasn't interested in a partnership I would of found someone else a long time ago and redid the whole deal. He has been saying he did want to be involved. There really wasn't any other major work to be done other than making a few other skins for the player, and he would of got 50/50 on just the default player, plus getting paid to do any skins, and paid to do any installs. Its not like he had to do a bunch of more work. I ALREADY paid him to develop this player, so basically I was trying to make him MORE money off work he already completed. But I have no need for this idiot. Ill pay someone earnest money up front that isn't a flake to do the initial work, and then give them a percentage of all sales for doing hardly anymore work.
This guy acts like there was a bunch of work he was going to have to do or something. He ALREADY got paid to do the work, all he had to do was be around to help with updates, reskins, and issues with customer installs and collect 50% of all player sales. Just basically be there for support (which he would of been paid on top of the 50% of the player sales and I wasn't going to take ANY percentage of money he made from the support side of things). Just an utter idiot.
