I would see the moon not as an item, but as a project. The more PEDs it goes for, the more MA prob will make of it. How many hours of development will $150k vs $300k buy?
I don't think so. PP's have paid a TONNE for licencing, development, advertising to bring in new players, etc. They still seem to have a hard time getting anything done MA side. SO many times I've seen PP representitives saying.... "It's up to MindArk.... We're waiting on MindArk.... There's nothing we can do it's platform side..... etc.".
I don't think that ALL the investors will promote the game to the full potential. No offence to Medusa group.... but once they purchased Medusa for peanuts it kinda just dropped off the map. IMO they'd be the worst group for this type of investment as none of them really seem to want to "work" at their investment.... though that COULD be because they really don't have much invested..... Who knows....
FOMA is another example. I understand he was/is sick but c'mon.... who buys one of the most important properties in a game then doesn't delegate someone to manage it for them when they fall ill?
There are a few LA owners who are constantly running promotions and events. Not sure how many of them will be involved in teh moon bidding, but hopefully one or all of them end up being the owners. SOMEONE has to pull up their socks and get some players in this game. Someone with the success of Star (there are others too) would be good owners/partners because outsiders can see that there ARE indeed possibilities within EU.
All that being said... if MA ain't gonna answer questions about the estate how in the hell do they expect to make huge money selling it?
I've got 100 acres of land in Florida...
Is it swamp land? Is it beach front? Is it Orchards? Is it commercial? Residential? Maintained? Overgrown? Shhh... I'm not telling.. just bid on it and hope for the best!
