nxt the software is around 1-10k depending how they did it
the ppl maybe make 32-35 a hour

so lets say xiv start up project was around 600k total

now take into account turn ins
15-30 dollar month sub depend on retainers u got
70 inital buy
and then mogstation randoms/name/data/server changes
so around add that up x the number of players
so lets say total income amount into the game is around 1.7million -2million is a pretty good estimate

so maybe you should stop believing what companys tell you its usually a lie lol

So let's add to that :


* Shareholders cut
* Taxes
* Maintenance costs for buildings, office, salaries, equipment, licenses, software, propetaria rights
* hosting costs (our company pays 80k a month on AWS alone)


so maybe you should get some experience on how a company works?
