This game changes to much right now to go full mainstream yet. It's over a year old but many games do take longer to develop. I'd give a rough estimate of another 6 months before the game starts to get looks from other larger companies and Bort starts to take the Beta tag off.

i think no matter how low you try and shoot this business brings in bare minimum 200k a year..and thats plenty considering the number of employees. The goal is ultimately to not a sell off a successful game the first chance you get, but for it to grow to popularity, in this case potentially internationally, and still be at the helm to reap all the profits. if it eventually goes downhill, just pull the plug or sell it at its peak. like i said i think for people to sit here and shoot this guy down whne we all know its a great idea pulling in a shitton of money is lame.

I think it is safe to say GLB has about 56,000 agents and that number is staying pretty flat if not dropping. Plus, how many servers do you guys think Bort has for that many people? Just remember, there are test servers and production servers.
If bort charged $5/month or $50/year for each of the 56K (unique users) that hit the site; he would make an additional $300K per month in revenue (that has virtually no expense tied to it). That would be another 3.5 million/year on monthly accounts. At the worst it would be $3 million more on yearly accounts. I ask you, would you pay $5/month to play GLB? Let's just try this, have GLB just charge a $1 monthly fee or a $10 yearly fee - Bort brings in an additional $560 - 650K per year. I know everyone would pay anadditional $1/month to play.......

Nice link.
My calculations were based on about 100k players boosting. I think it is safe to say with 40k users that that is a reality considering some peeps have 20+ players.

Truth! Im gonna retire my Season 1 CB whom I <3 just because I am sick of paying $30/mth to boost.... He should buy me about 3 months worth of boosting all my players.
