Money this game makes

[kaynide]

Its probably get disseminated more than people think. Even though XIV(the green bar which is basically XI + XIV + DQX) is making money(and catching up) HD games and mobile games still bring in more. Unless something has changed behind the scenes the only money that comes back to the game 100% is the Item shop profits.

That’s a big thing; I don’t think people understand how much of the money MMOs make gets eaten to keep the game running. It’s not like offline games where you just have to sell and recoup development/ad costs. Once a certain number of offline sales are made, every additional sale is pure profit.

MMOs however, the cost to maintain the game constantly increases as the content within the game increases, yet the monthly fee remains the same.
