[QUOTE="mamba, post: 9061075, member: 7034611"] not sure how much clearer I can make it that I do not do that than in my last post, and yet this is how you open your reply… given that you agree, you do know that we both use the same measure, otherwise there is nothing to agree to ;) I agree with everything you said there but the first sentence. Brand value (through increased sales) counts towards HAT profit, the only question is will it create enough of that (and chances are we will never know that definitely) others have not really, it is just about what counts towards return on investment / profit No one is intentionally spending more money than they get back in some form to me that counts as making a positive return on the investment, and I count that as a profit. Also be be clear, if WotC in 5 years says that HAT recouped 10M profit over those 5 years for them, that is still a loss, as simply gaining interest on the 100M you invested would have gotten you more money over that timeframe. So the time it takes to break even counts against HAT being a success. So they cannot keep chipping away at the costs, 500k a year until they finally break even by 2200 or so, that is not how this works I doubt it will make a profit, but as I said we will probably never know for sure [/QUOTE]
