Bruno Weiss Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Maybe member number 8000 should get a copy of the bonus CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Radley Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 No, once they get 8,000 members, they'll close the borders and require green cards from newbies. "Give me your tired, your poor, your vertically challenged..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flammenwerfer Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Iam curious approximately what percentage of CM owners are forum members? [ March 13, 2002, 12:29 PM: Message edited by: Flammenwerfer ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soddball Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 That would tell us how many copies of CM have been sold, and BTS don't want us to know in case we start working out how much money they've made and which bank accounts it's hidden in.

Boo Radley Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Yes, I imagine BTS is livin' in fat city thanks to us. I can see them all right now, vacationing in the Bahamas, walking around their time share drinking daquiries and wearing nothing but huge smiles and crocheted banana warmers. Sorry, I think I just grossed myself out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Emrys Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 Hmmm. Figure at least three copies sold for every registered member of the Forum. That's in the neighborhood of ~25,000 copies. A modest estimate of takehome pay for each member of the team after overhead is met might be $5 each, assuming the take is split evenly (not too likely given Steve and Charles' long-term commitment to the project, but we're only blue-skying here anyway). That's $125,000. No wonder Matt went on vacation! :eek: I just hope they're all on good terms with their friendly local IRS agents.

IronChef4 Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 what about production costs, etc? I bet Matt will get a kick out of this. . . [ March 13, 2002, 02:21 PM: Message edited by: IronChef4 ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K_Tiger Posted March 13, 2002 Share Posted March 13, 2002 The big selling "boost" comes after the distribution from CDV, belive me, there r so many WWII grogs around they never know to be one, after they found a CM copy in one of the supermarkets around europe. There r many reasons for some people not to buy from oversea, "wich rules r counting if there r some shipping problems" or anything else like that. It was the right doing to sell over a distributor in europe, this will give extra money and save us for some more years a really good game.
