GC price?

The only way you could go about a purchase, whilst keeping a sane amount of currency to be involved. Would be to get the actual figures. Cost of upkeep, revenue received. Profit/loss margins, etc. Then, you would have to receive an actual asking price from Stephen. And work towards a deal, keeping in mind the factors already mentioned.

To be honest, if the game, after upkeep costs, nets $10k a year. And the current owner is asking for $500k. It would simply be a bad decision to to take on the lump of $hit. You would never make up your investment. Nor would you ever pull even.


Just clone the Game, if you want to do things economically.

Yea, considering that whoever forks it over would then have to find some way of getting a return on that investment, which isn`t easy in a few years time even if the game flourished again. Better games would sell for less.

I heard he wanted 25 mil $ for both. Theres no way any sane person would pay that though.

That`s a lower figure of course and depends on book value + current net income of the game. If this game nets $50,000 a year, then it isn`t unreasonable to believe that fair value would be $1 million at most.

Well, if you assume that 2000 1-year paids were bought per year, that`s $52,000 a year.

I wonder what it costs the game to run, staff and equipment upkeep.

I`d prolly value the game around $600,000 or so considering the income rate and so forth. Not a bad amount to retire with really once you`re done running the game.

GC is awesome but stephen is a retard and he only does stuff with UC(which isn`t much but more than here)

UC though is probably 10X more expensive... so many people donate to get special projects and stuff their.....they should try something like that with GC... i think it would be a big hit

the networth of GC can`t be very high since there are only like 300 active players and like little below 50% of them are paid. plus the server would be a plie of junk so in total I don`t think it costs a lot around the tens of thousands

* thinks razgriz underestimates gc...

alot of money? are you kidding, say 500 people at 7 dollars a month, that is 3500 a month, not taking into account any cost for the site and equipment. However as many of you know 500 paids a month is a little generous

according to stephen he wouldn`t sell the game unless someone offered a redictulous amount of money. he doesn`t want to sell the game. he wanted to make a game so people could have fun and according to him "not something to make alot of money off of"

who told u that ragnorak?....he makes a lot of money off this game ...

actually the game might sell under $500k.

10 dollars... anyone else? going once... going twice...

yes... gentleman/alien over there... 10.99 dollars?

...oh boy... it`s going to be years to hit 1 mill mark... lol...

Let me start the bidding by opening with 10 dollars :-)

IF the price can make him a millionaire for years... he probably consider it... don`t you think so? :P

(sorry Stephen... incase you`re not that type... lol... )
