Thats wierd, I sit in the captains chair of my ship whenever I craft.... But it does seem like there could have been room for a new engine somewhere in that $200mill.

I dont miss the horde. I know exactly where they are... maybe you should go visit them. Just because the Sith do not respect non Sith, doesnt mean they have no honor, just a twisted version of it. They see others as weak and see it as their duty to eradicate weakness. Why should they show honor to worms who are beneath them? Show them strength to get their respect.

Youd have to nuke me from orbit. Its the only way to be sure....

Agreed. Even in all they do is expand the storyline each month, Ill be happy for some time.

SWTOR is still a baby, let it grow some. BioWare has a pretty good rep for having good ideas. Ill give it a year before I get too down. I bet they find a way to hook people before long.

Still more than enough. I think BioWare will pull out a lot of surprises before they let that happen.

Hey! I argued too! lol And btw, Ive always wanted WOW to die. lol Loved Warcraft, hate WOW. Wierd I know.

When we speak of making the development money back... I assume that you take income and put it toward to 200 mill... Not claim upkeep as initial development costs. It doesnt matter anyway, lol neither of us will get a dime of it lol

Exactly why there is a problem. We need community oriented activities other than, "Hey lets go loot stuff!" Im not saying to do exactly what SWG did for community, but BioWare can take from what SWG had and make it better and make it their own. In the process endearing us all to this game.

I thought we were talking about development costs.. not ongoing expense reports?

Sand people are generally thought to be of various races. They have an odd sense of honor and clansmanship. You can google them and read a LOT about them. They find the showing of bare skin offensive and try not to do so even in private. They have other cultural nuances that are interesting as well.

If SWTOR brings in 1.5 million total subscribers at $15/mo, that amounts to $22.5 million per month $270 million per year That alone more than covers it. And since SWTOR has retained 1.7 mill subs so far and its still selling everywhere then this ALONE is enough to cover the costs within this year easily. Take in the over 100 mill already discussed, and I forgot to mention EA/BioWare stock is rising..... more money coming in....

Quit splitting hairs. Many companies invested in this game. Are you going to take that 100 mill just for copies of the basic game and turn it into 100$ and say that is all BioWare has made off of it? Im not talking about how much a single company has made off of it. We dont know how much any single company has invested. So we say $200 mill spent, well over $100 mill earned. If we add in monthly fees, special and collectors editions and all of the extras and goodies out there, its a good bet that they have made the money back or are VERY close to it.

Umm lets see.... Over 2 million copies sold... How much was your copy again? Looks like this Valentines Day... Youre mine. Current price on Amazon 50$ 50 x 2,000,000 = 100,000,000 Add in monthly fees.... lets see... Oh ya! AN Effin buttload of cash!

Just the fact that so many people are arguing over this shows that human nature requires a certain degree of ... dominance.
