Celebrating 4th of July!

I understand the costs of running a game like this are massive and take that into consideration, but Maple Story is one of the top-earning MMOs currently. Apparently in 2008 they were the #4 top earner last year, making between $150 and $500m. There is no way that their costs are any where near that. While admittedly, I don't know exactly how much it costs to run a game like this, I would estimate that at most it is $20m/year and that includes salaries.

So calling them greedy isn't a stretch by any means.

And exactly how much money do you think they'll make off of this 2x event? Has it ever occured to you that maybe nexon is just trying to give us a 2x event?
