Thread: How bout we all pay an extra $2.00 a month
Just some numbers. Hope my maths right.
(250,000 subscriptions) * ($15.00/month) = $3.75 million per month
($3.75 mill per month) * (12 months) = $45.00 million a year for net income
(100 staff) * ($50,000.00 annual salery) = $5.0 million dollors loss a year
(guessing but say operating costs are $ 500,000.00 per month) * (12 months) = $ 6.00 million in operating lossa year.
Profit = ( $ 45.00 million income ) - ( $ 5.0 million staff costs) - ( $ 6.00 million opperating) = $ 34.0 million profits
So with $ 34.0 million jingle wo play with I''m sure something could be done. Heck even if there was another $14 million a year in unknown costs that still is a rakeing of $ 20 million. Sorry math hurts in the morning.

/boggle arghh my head hurts
Raz
($15.00/mo. * 12 mo.) * 250,000 subscribers = $45 million a year
$45 million/yr. * 2 years = $90 million
Not counting sales of SWG and it's expansions.
$59 (or $69 forCE, or $49 for JTL/SWG, and so on)* 1 millionsold = roughly $60-70 million, not counting expansions sold alone.
So.. rough figure, we gave Sony Online Entertainment approximately $150-160 million.
And thats just the SWG division. They also have EverQuest, MxO, EverQuest 2, and a few other games. And thats just computer software division! They have Sony Entertainment music, videos too. And televisions and dvd players and Sony Viao computers and stereos and thousands of other appliances and so forth. Nevermind their business contracts with incorporations handling electronics and survellience equipment and so on and so forth.
Giving SOE an extra $2.00 a month is like giving a white collar worker an extra dollar a year in their salary.
