They all took over a year for us to get an update to their storylines.

None of their games were popular.



Or they get the game up to speed, release it for PS3, start the P2P service and like FFXI, make up the money in 1-2 years and begin making a profit off of it?

That works too.
Yeah that would work, except for one thing. During the first year and a half of XI's existence, they were charging a monthly fee to fund the ongoing work.

Sounds like a race against time to me. They need to get the game up to a quality level that justifies charging people monthly without having a sizable portion quit, and they need to do it before they run out of funds from the box sales, otherwise they need to pull the money from other projects, or take out a loan... I don't know about you, but I don't think XI players would be too happy if all of a sudden theiry monthly sub fees went to fixing XIV rather than maintaining XI.
