You know, since the LL i was thinking about a few Things, we are always talking here that Square Enix is using the Income for other Projects and they lack the Resources/Money but lets just take us a look at a Core Level, i say it again a CORE LEVEL.
Of course a lot of things are purely speculation because we have no 100% accurate Numbers so take it with a bit grain of salt here. (I use € here because i really dont wanna bother now how the active exchange value for Money is, so consider that too)
Judging from a few Public Archivment Sites and other means, we are currently probably sitting at around 1mio active Players maybe 2 Mio, the last Savage Tier was cleared by around 10% of the Playerbase which leads to around 100k Players which leads me to to conclusion with the 1mio, but sadly thats like i said no accurate number because this involves only public archivments, so hidden archivment Pages on the Lodestone etc can have a impact on it, but most people should now we dont have the 4mio daily playerbase anymore
Now a Sub in Germany costs 11€ the small one and the big one 13€ since not everyone uses the big one and not everyone goes with the small one i just divided in a 50:50 ratio
500.000 x 13 = 6.500.000€
500.000 x 11 =+5.500.000€
=12.000.000€ Monthly
This of course doesnt involve things like Merchandise, Mogstore Items and Additional Services like Retainer or first Game buys etc thats why i said we only look at a Corebase
So now we sitting on 12mio, now there are Employee Costs, Server Costs, Taxes (i think atleast JP has taxes, im not so into JP Stuff so if there is someone with more knowledge) Production Costs, the Musicteam, i can guess Soken is not really cheap
For me atleast it doesnt look like that there is much left to spend on other Projects, if you now even involve theoreticlly Mogstation and Merchandise you can probably add another 10Mio or more but like i said i think a lot of Money goes even in the Production Costs of the next Expansion then
Dont get me wrong the Thread is not about defending Square, i just was curious about it, i just thought i share my thoughprocesses
