well that's where things get a little wonky though, right? CoH was a subscription-based game, so technically these extremely loyal fans would, theoretically, still be paying the company.
The fact that companies shut down popular games due to their profit simply not being as high as projected is just stupid. (note I said profit, not income. In the case of CoH, the game was 100% making profit still when it was shut down).

- analognoise 8y agoIt's about the time value of money. If you give me 100, and I make a profit for you of $0.50 a year on it, it's profit right? But this other investment, investment B, makes $5/year. Which one are you going to put your money in? Investment B every time. The companies don't want profit, they want the MOST profit - especially because if they don't choose wisely, they'll find it difficult or impossible to seek extra financing.
