Also, investments and acquisitions are depreciated over the expected life of the asset. Losses are taken in the year they are realized; read: all at once.
Today is the sort of day where the sun only comes up to humiliate you.

what amuses me is folk still think its actually worth CCPs time, effort and money to bring a game like dust514 to the ps4. the active playerbase is far too low and if it hangs aorund on ps3 much longer there'll just be a handfull of folk left over. as it stands both PS4 and XB1 have a pretty low catalogue of games but once the summer lull is done with and prices are dropped/bundled up for this christmas more and more folk will be upgrading.
Dust simply isn't holding its playerbase due to a difficulty curve steeper than the cliffs of dover, sure these large corps love to go about proto stomping pup matches but all they're doing is pushing new players away from the game, in eve at least there is empire to stay away from the large alliances if you choose too, earnings arn't as big but you can have an enjoyable experience with it. something similar needs to be introduced for the NPE because the academy isn't it.
i suggested a sec system mode where you pick the sec status you want battles to take place in. 1.0-0.5 are mlt/std gear (LAVs only) 0.4-0.1 is upto adv gear and 0.0 is upto proto/anything goes.
least that way new players have a place ot go where even though vets with 40-50 mill sp could go into they'd still be on a similar level and a mix of vets and rookies can go in and have an enjoyable time. i took a bunch of new recruits out other evening on my heavy alt. they each had a std minny logi and six kin triage repper and we moved as a huge spider webbed blob all on my g-1 sentinel (proto skils) and mh-82 hmg and it was crazy! at one point we almost had 6 OB's in an ambush match. they had a great time. earned plenty of isk, lost a couple of cheap suits but it showed that if a bunch of folk get together it can be an enjoyable time.

See companies project to make so much money for the year, say 50 million USD. If they only earn 40m that year, they "lost" 10m.
Oil companies purposely project high every year, so instead of showing that they make Billions every year, they can say they lost a few million... No, you may be thinking of government budgets but when businesses report port a loss, it is a loss.
I think you need to take a business class. I dont think you realize that (most) governments are corporate entities themselves. If your government has ever borrowed money (most have,) it is a corporation just like the rest. The same rules apply to governments as they do any other corporation.
You should do some research, this is how the business world works.
Yeah, i run an Amarr logi with a mass driver.. what are YOU going to do about it?

You lack vision for the future and knowledge of the past, if anyone can get away with building a game for years its ccp.
