After watching a video about MMOs I learned that they cost millions to make and then I grew curious. When Dust 514 was developed how much did it cost to make just the beta version; How much has it cost to develope up to the FoxFour version?
If it cost a lot then I don't see why players are giving you such a hard time for a free-to-play game.

I bet neither of those questions is something CCP is willing to make public.
I don't think they are publicly traded, and private companies tend to play their cards very close.

It's like pewdiepie, once people figured out how much he made, there was an uproar of hate. If CCP told us how much $$ they make, less people would buy aurm. People just don't like it when one person makes more than themselves.

I believe finding out how much CCP makes isnt hard. The hard part would be seeing the profitability of Dust 514 itself. Eve is definately the cash cow for them, but they probably spend sh!t tonnes on development. I wonder how much $$$ they lost on the WoD failure alone. Dont forget the losses on Project legion and now this new game gunjack as well as the continuing work on Valkyrie. The money is apparently there it just isnt going to this game.

Semi-relevant fun fact: Steam, the largest online digtal distributor of PC games, owned by private company Valve, forbids any game developers and publishers using their services from disclosing their Steam sales numbers.
One indie developer who made a game for Xbox Live Arcade that later became available on Steam had this to say: "I'm not allowed to reveal specifics about my sales, but picture a thimble, then picture a lake. The lake is Steam." |

I think the main issue of why dust has it so rough is that it was a side project for CCP. It was only well known to the eve community and those few of us who saw it in the PS store. All other marketing was virtually nonexistant. If i recall correctly i saw 1 commercial for it. Do you know how many cod commercials i saw in that timeframe? Too many to count. Now , how many more players does cod have than dust? I think there might be a corralation.

Personally I want to know how much money CCP lost after fan fest when people we getting refunds.
Also since you brought up Pewdiepie, " No matter the interview, the headline is still about my paycheck"

Very true. Some things may remain private.
