1 USD = about 11 SEK - call it 10 to make it easy - profit for 1 QTR = 420K USD is that supposed to be impressive?

i mean its nice for such a niche game but really nothing to go nuts over and i think could be a lot better

Sky may not be falling but it is not that high up in the air either

well guess i should expect even crappier loot now that i dared to say this lol

I think $420k profit for just 3 months is really good :slight_smile:

You realize, of course, that the $420,000 means 4,200,000 ped of bad hunts for us, right? The horrific loot and frustration and boredom that most of us are seeing now create that.

I mean it’s good as in the amount they are making as the previous post think’s it is low :slight_smile:

But you shouldn’t find anything frustrating, Just depo what you are ok to lose and just call it as money spent, It will help you keep your sanity lol and you will enjoy the game more :slight_smile:
Then making ped is just part of the game and not a case of you getting any kind of return on your depo.

Good to see they are making money that is always a positive

However . Dangerous thinking. “Ability to create Exciting content” Not sure what metric they use to measure that. I haven’t received any feedback questionnaire….

User activity would be interesting to see how they have defined that.. I assume this is due to TWEN which if it is. I would say 15% is a little light…

420k profit while investing heavily in RnD is good.

and the weapons dropped and the armors dropped, and the tokens and rare tokens dropped, and not to mention the upcomming new events they promissed

I’m of the opinion that any figures relate to real deposits less costs and liabilities = profit.

The game can invent value from thin air, say new weapons or deeds. It’s always quite interesting what revenue or turnover actually means. Hence if I was an investor I’d more more interested in the movement in cash.

Ironically the game could give you 100% hunting returns, as long as they could invent reasons for a player to deposit for gear (weapon tokens is a good example or teiring) and they would still make an operating profit.

So the point is, the 420k usd operating profit, doesn’t necessarily equate to bad hunts.

Can you be more specific? What problems are you having? Do you get any error message(s)?

I ask because we are all logged in and don’t have any problems.

Yes. There was a legal battle between David Storey aka Deathifier and MindArk. MindArk won the case so I’m not sure why they are paying David Storey.

Yeah that’s real good, equated to straight 1.6m profit this year and that’s AFTER paying everyone. So the company its self is bringing in some good dough. for such a niche product where they make NO EFFORT.

Think if they made effort? They brought back dropping items (huge for events and I’d spend more) They bring back real life lootable items.

Partner up with Ibuypower, Acer, Asus etc. Fucking Hulu or something to get like 1 year of hulu subscription in a drop or something.

Like the possibilities are endless and instead we get guns/armors where there are SOOOO many in the game.

I’d love to loot a laptop, computer, fucking $500 ACME giftcard etc.

How difficult would it be for them to buy like Nintendo store cards. Like a $50 card for $45(90%). Someone spends $47.50(95%) to get the gift card, Mindark made $2.50 right there.

And then the fact that they can be sold on the Auction House thats another probably 40-50 cents in fees. So now there at $3 profit off of 1 drop and it does not negatively effect the games economy at all.

It sounds like a settlement to me maybe they offered a settlement of the case. It was in MA’s interest to settle to gain full control of TI.
