GTA ONLINE has generated over half a billion dollars in revenue

[Crystal3lf]

The initial profits were $500,000,000.

 

They later made another $500,000,000.

 

Simple, right?

Yeah, yeah, simple. Just gloss over the part where it says "operating, or producing something", Rockstar just have billions of dollars sitting in a bank somewhere I'm sure. Ohhh... You forgot about the part where it also costs hundreds of millions of dollars to keep Rockstar running?

Yeah that's right, bring it off topic when your idiocy has been made clear to you.

 

If they currently have over a billion dollars in profits - which they do; here's the maths for the less mathematically inclined like you:

 

 

 

$800,000,000 - $300,000,000 = $500,000,000.

 

$500,000,000 + $500,000,000 (the shark card money) = $1,000,000,000

 

 

 

Then I'm sure they could spare, say $50,000,000 of that to keep the company running. After all, currently they're doing little more than reskinning old cars. Shouldn't take much effort.

I suppose you can't prove the mathematics are wrong either?

 

It's insane. It's actually worrying to think that there are people like this who exist in the world; people who resist all basic forms of logic just to defend some greedy, cr*ppy company.

 

My mind is totally and utterly blown.

Ahaha, yeah they just do have a billion dollars laying around in a room somewhere. THEY DO. I dunno how you know this, but sure m8 8/8 gr8 b8.

look guys ... for all we know, "The Benz" got ousted because he had a threesome with those dude's wives... just saying ... we don't know why...

 

also - locking him out as they fire him would be SOP as he could come in and cause major destruction on server assets and what not. We do the same thing where I work.

(Sighs).

 

 

Initial costs = $265,000,000

 

 

They then made $800,000,000:

 

 

$800,000,000 - $265,000,000 = $535,000,000.

 

$535,000,000 + $500,000,000 = $1,035,000,000.

 

Being insanely generous by assuming some reskinned Benny's cr*p costs $200,000,000 to make, then we can allocate a whopping $200,000,000 to keep things running.

 

This leaves us with $835,000,000.

You all are feeding it...

 

It's all very simple.

 

Don't like the game anymore stop playing it.

[Crystal3lf]

Which is why I never said, not once, that they made $800,000,000 in profits. Learn how to read, my seemingly semi-ape friend.

 

That leaves them with a day one profit of $500,000,000, since they made $800,000,000.

 

They made a further profit of $500,000,000 from shark cards.

You accused me of having said they initially made a profit of $800,000,000. I did not say that.

 

I never said they made an initial profit of $800,000,000.

 

I (correctly) claimed the initial profits were $500,000,000; not $800,000,000 like you falsely claimed I did.

 

And it'd still leave $850,000,000 in profits. More than enough for your beloved Houser brothers to sniff up their noses.

 

This leaves us with $835,000,000.

Thanks, I'll keep the list going when you change your mind a few more times.

I'll just re-post this then, since it seems to be going over your little head:

 

 

Are you going to ask me to do the maths for you again? Shouldn't your mother have taught you stuff that basic?

I really don't care about what's happening inside Rockstar, cause to be honest, I don't find it to be any of my business, that's their business to sort out. I have a life in the real world, and I worry about myself, not others that don't even know I exist. I'm just an outsider that loves and plays their games.

 

I don't care about how much they make, or have made, and I really don't care about shark cards along with how they're selling.

 

I also don't give two hoots about the current Update system, GTAIV's multiplayer was still extremely fun and kept me playing for 5 years, despite how limited it is, yet GTAO's is 1000x bigger.

 

I apologize for not jumping onto this hilarious hate bandwagon.

 

 

Long story short, I don't take video game stuffs as seriously as a lot of you ITT do, and my stance on everything is neutral.

Good for you. I'm glad you're mentally stable enough to not insist that 8 - 3 = 8. Lol.
