This right here is why I have a issue with their cash grabs to be honest.. Yes I'm sure some of the profit is returned to the game. But tallying up subs alone, not to mention people with multiple retainers, the phone app paid service. All of that and the cash shop? I dunno, I know a game costs a lot to upkeep and servers and the employees. But I don't think they get a fraction of what they bring in for this game to properly spend on upgrading it. :P
