Untitled[edit]

I have a problem with this statement: His products have recently lost a great deal of market share to Microsoft's Windows Media Player.

...for the following reasons:

It's vague. Did RealRhapsody lose market share to WMP? Did Microsoft Word lose marketshare to WMP (Rob managed that product many moons ago)? How much is "a great deal"?
It's not relevant. Why put this in Rob Glaser's bio? Why not put it in the article about RealNetworks, since I'm presuming its RealNetworks' products that are the question?
It's not NPOV. "Great deal" is subjective.

I'm a longtime RealNetworks employee, so I'm not going to say much more than this on the subject. However, it would be nice if this went away. -- RobLa 05:50, 28 Feb 2005 (UTC)

the old net worth figure seemed way too high[edit]

from recode 2014: "Glaser still owns 37 percent of RealNetworks, which was worth $10 billion at its peak in early 2000, just before the Web 1.0 crash. It now has a $282 million market valuation." So, 37% of $282m is $104m at the time of that article but now in 2016 RNWK's market cap is $155m so 37% of that is $57m — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.108.54.119 (talk) 16:59, 28 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Glaser is not a billionaire[edit]

the citation (shown currently) from Forbes magazine 20 years ago in the height of the .com boom is not evidence of Glaser being a billionaire in 2018. Glaser was removed from the Forbes list of the wealthiest when the RNWK stock price collapsed in the .com crash more than 15 years ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.7.192.88 (talk) 16:50, 7 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
