> [@Salvos\_Rhoska](#): > > CCP would have to generate that missing 200mill in 6-24 months, so as to recoup that to the buyer, and fulfill the bonus condition, which is paid back then, and only then, on delivery no they wouldnt they would have to generate say 30m over 6 months so the buyer can say okay you generate 60m a year and in 10 years we make 175m profit on our investment why would they make ccp pay 200m of their own bonus if they could do that they wouldnt sell the company ---

I never would have thought CCP would be worth $425 Mil, but 425 mil PLEX seems about right ($55Mil). ---

The problem here is the math. Maybe that problem is my math is wrong. Maybe the problem is my math is right. Either way, it doesn’t pass the sniff test. I hope I’m just wrong here. At the end of the day, if we assume that the average sub earns them $25 a month on average (mixture of plex sub, monthly sub, and NES purchases), and that they’ve got a **10 year** recovery plan (which I feel is FAR longer than they would actually want to commit to), they need 141,000 subscribing accounts for those 10 years. That’s just to break even after 10 years. Either people spend a LOT more on NES stuff than I expect, or PA is going to P2W the ■■■■ out of this game. ---

Until ccp concentrates on bringing in and keeping new players they won’t generate anything. They need to remove scamming and high sec griefing in all its forms to allow players to nurture and not leave because of all this. Only then will playerbase grow ---
