10k a month is 120k a year, which is probably something like a LOW salary of ONE of their execs..
Why would they spend ANY money at all for that?

Unfortunately he's exactly right.

By the time you add up bandwidth costs, and the salaries of 3-4 programmers to do the work this dev team does for free, that "$10k a month" in added revenue (which is a baseless figure really, as likely most of the players would be current subscribers anyway) still leads to an unprofitable situation.

Look at EA - one of the biggest companies in the business, and they reported insane losses for this quarter.
