Every 1 says Z8 is being greedy but...
Don't they have to pay smile gat and neowiz as well?
On average I'm guessing z8 makes about 3,000 a month on all of us. It takes about 100 per server and we got like 12 servers I believe, then the have to pay for they're internet so thats 100 about, what I'm trying to get to is that they probally don't get that much and then having all these expenses, but don't they have to pay smilegate and neowiz at all? for content updates and such?

You said you're guessing...so basically this is useless?
no, I was pointing things z8 has to pay for, they're actual expenses are none of MY business, I'm just saying that they have alot of crap to pay. and trying to found who (not being noseywho) but like if they have to pay smile gate.[MOD]Talonblaze wrote: »Don't forget about licensing fees.
Honestly though, I wouldn't have a clue. It varies from company to company and only they know the relationship to their developers.
this is why i made the thread, to prove (not exactly) that z8 isn't greedy, they're pretty much broke afterwards -
Yes they are the portal so they are paying smilegate and neowiz for their product to be here and to make more money out of it.
Wal-mart is the portal, they are not going to pay ME for taking the product.
Think of it like this, z8 knows they can get extra money out of it, they pay them 200 and they keep the rest. -
Well, your numbers are way off, but yes, obviously there are expenses.
Licensing fees, staff, servers, building, XTrap, consultants etc.
I'd think they don't pay per patch though, its probably included in the licensing fee.
"Being greedy" is the simpleton term for making money without giving it back to the users for no reason.
People who graduated elementary school call it business. -

Wow uninformed, horribly deficient, total guesswork. I'm guessing you didn't do so well in math?
How many players? 2 million plus at least.
if even one quarter (500000) spend just the minimum(10 US dollars). Once a month.
US $5 mill per month.
GET IT? -

You were a bit off
and people forgot about the expense of the ~80 employees of z8 games.360Spinner wrote: »They get well more than 3000 a month lol
Hmmm... For some reason I feel my numbers are way off...
