FFL_Jefferson 0 Posted January 24, 2006 Now if you consider that 1 500 000 copies of OFP where sold ( counting Res and RedHammer) and that they well sold out at an average 15$ And that would give you 225 00 000 $ If you consider BIS gets 30% out of this that leaves 67 50 000$ If you consider that OFP + OFP:R is 4 years of work with 25 people working at an average of 1500$ per personne per month this counting everything ( office compters etc...) thats gives us 1 800 000 $ ... that leaves us with 4.9 millions dollars ok so lets say that of Arma and game 2 they use 25 peoples as well well they have money to work for lets say 12 years... Well now you have an idea of when you will all be playing .... Enjoye Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeMeSiS 11 Posted January 24, 2006 Rent of the building/taxes/PCs/chairs&other office crap/coffee/donuts, life isnt that easy... I wouldn't be surprised if BIS is having big financial problems, they only real income the have from the last few years was VBS, and now there is OFP:E, but i don't know how well that is selling... Ah well, i am happy as long as we get to see Game2... Â EDIT: I love you too Lt! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JdB 151 Posted January 24, 2006 Yeah, and renting the office, mainting the offices, motion capture studio, all the computers costs nothing. Oh and neither do the non-''developer'' co-workers or the costs for the websites and forums. And I am sure that the BIA team is working for free because they all love Maruk so much Also, ever heard of ''paying taxes''? Edit: NeMeSiS, I hate you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placebo 29 Posted January 24, 2006 Wonder how much I should charge for each worthless thread I have to close. If you feel that with the information available so far you cannot find more suitable ArmA topics to discuss I would suggest you visit other forums. Also your avatar exceeds the allowed 100kb, please fix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
