Revenue is high and operating expenses are relatively low. The market is sustainable as long as there are enough willing consumers to counterbalance the costs.
You are saying the incentive to Rogean deliberately introducing competitors into the market is code optimization? The people of p99 are perfectly content with the rate at which things are being executed.
This is not even academic. It is practical shit that even a naive person like you should be able to process.

I'm not necessarily saying the GMs have any incentive, at all actually, to open source this project. As you should know, having an MBA and all, that of course administration w/ monopoly status aren't going to want to change the status quo. In fact, they relish in its inefficiencies. I understand why they haven't open sourced the project and probably will not; it's also the reason I haven't gone out of my way to prove it would be beneficial. There's no genuine profit motive here, and there isn't any real competition, so it makes much more sense to them to just work at their own pace and fix what they deem worthy etc etc etc. Even though, at the end of the day, it stagnates the project and yields perpetual inefficiencies.
What I'm saying is much simpler: for the good of the project- of course it should be open sourced. It's silly to say any different. But again, it's clear the focus of the server isn't to be as efficient as possible. It really just seems like a pride thing. I'm sure they get a lot of gratification in fixing the bugs/content completely in-house. Doesn't mean its the most efficient route possible, nor should it be the direction this server is taking.

You're right. I'm arguing w/ an MBA that doesn't know the difference between normative/positive views on things. Where did my life go wrong?
