Okay guys, we've devolved into bickering, so I'm going to lock the thread. The $800k/month thing was probably a misunderstanding or a misstatement by someone (not necessarily anyone posting in this thread) confusing revenue with profit. There's also a good chance that the raw numbers not reported in the Investor Relations report are different. I haven't personally seen the financials for City of Heroes, but I've talked several times with people who would be intimately familiar with them, and they have all said that City of Heroes was doing very well. Was it making a million dollars a month? Probably not, but it was doing a lot better than just breaking even, too. It was more than pulling its own weight, even after expenses were factored in.
When or if we get to the point where we need to write up a plan for investors in a new game, we can revisit this topic, hopefully in a bit less confrontational manner. In the meantime--and this goes for everyone--please stop assuming that people here are deliberately misrepresenting information, are too emotionally invested in the game to see the "truth" of the situation, or trying to shut down differing opinions. The only one here shutting down opinions would be me, and the only opinion I'm trying to shut down is that your fellow players and teammates in this endeavor are stupid or malicious; neither is true. So please, park the snark.
