    Assuming 25% or 75K active paying token buyers with an average of $10/month = $750,000 ($750K)/month or close to $9M/year.

    That is not bananas or chump-change.

    I think they need to make $10K/month ($120K/year) to break even/cover expenses. That is 1000 managers spending $10/month. Very easy to do.
    Increase those numbers... Maybe, You can multiply by 10 or + the managers and the value money ~ $25/$50 month.

    Ok, but my numbers are conservative and only give a possible baseline for costs and income.

    1) The odds are good that there are more managers who pay, and
    2) The odds are good that they pay more than $10/month

    No matter what numbers you plug into this simple equation, Nordeus is making tons of money -- Tons is relative of course.

    Now, I have always been interested in this subject, and I welcome all input. I bring this up for 2 reasons:

    1) Why the hell can't Nordeus fix the glaring issues that are causing most of the posts in the Vent thread. By my calculations, they are making enough money to hire a competent programmer and still make tons of $$$, and
    2) A separate website, say, www.free.topeleven.com, dedicated to non-token enjoyment of this game. They have the money and its peanuts because they already have the infrastructure setup and the game just needs to be modified a bit. Really easy solution to solve the game inequality issue. A game without tokens is a game where you have to be more of a manager to win.
