that's gross, not net. Factor in the cost of other projects being developed by SE, building costs, power costs for servers, business taxes, international fund conversion, etc etc.

Is the company making money? Yes. But are they making 360 million net profit a year just from FFXIV? Not on your life. If extra funds from stuff on the mogstation goes to getting more talent for XIV and other SE titles and vise versa I have no issues with it.
