How much would you pay for GC?

O OhMyGodOP
keep this simple,
Stephens not selling GC so dont burst into flames! ;)

1) Only bid up too the amount of money you have,
(so no bids like 4 billion, cos you bloody well dont have it!!!)

2) Only bid, how much you can afford to spend, (This is not a bussiness, it would be a hobby) So how much would you spend!!!
(just buying the source code), lol

Let the bidding commence :D

The code itself if its clean and clearly documented is worth a minimum of $10,000. The actual server is not necessary because honestly you can probally get much better deal for a good one in Europe or the USA.

Assuming 50% of active gc players (est. 320) have a $6 monthly paid a account he is grossing around $800.00 gross a month. i doubt this even covers the banwidth cost and running expenses. I really be suprised if GC was profitable at all. That cash ocw called UC is probally the only reason GC still exist otherwise it would be so unprofitable he would have to shut the game down.

As is games probally worth $8,000 to $16,000

To have a descent programer do a clone of this game your looking at about 6 months work. Which would be around $25,000.00 in just labor alone.

Anyway i heard Stephen has a real job now so this really isn`t his primary income anymore.

I wouldn`t pay for this game in general, i would just use the money that could have bought the game to make my own, almost like bip/lothor/kev said but my coding experiences is extremely bad currently so that meaning i would pay others to make what i want.
U UberPansy

Only as long as Stephen has to catch them himself, and you just point the way... otherwise, that is way too much. ^^;
U UberPansy
I will bid four wild oxen.
D Deiloche
I`d pay $50 CDN to look at the code for a week or two to see just how bad it is... then clone it, lol.
B bipbippy
Maybe I`ll start a new thread... "How much are you willing to pay for me to clone GC?"
:P
R RaidBoss
lol hmm 100 thousand pounds...got that in bank to buy house.:P
C CrazyMaverickTNM
I agree with Bip as well... recreating something from scretch isnt easy but fixing the bugs & knowing ur system, code & whatever done to the key is great for faster editing & fixing & improving a game...
T TheHominion
Without knowing how well things are documented or at least commented you cant know the work effort involved in improving it...
T theunforgiven
lothor someone could copy(not exact) and base it out of America or wherever they live..... I`m sure someone can get their own server in America instead of Malaysia...lol
