Bro, you know that THJ intends on taking this to court and hired a top tier IP lawyer right? Do you know what the ENTIRE premise of these retards defense is going to be?

"LOOK AT THAT EQEMU COMMUNITY IT HAS EXISTED FOR 15 YEARS AND DBG DID NOTHIGN TO PROTECT THEIR ASSETS FROM THEM"

That is going to be their defense. They did this as a cash grab at the expense of everything.
If what you are saying is true, I hope they retire happily and never make another game for loser gamers ever again.

They still working on updates, even though they cant push them, because this is the field of dreams (like p99 is also).

They will owe every single cent that they received from payments for service and possibly even the unsolicited 'donations'. Depending on how much they spent for services from other contributors to the project the said contributors could be on the hook for that, which in itself may still appear to be income from the IRS perspective.

They're going after everything, rightly so, fuck THJ, they've really fucked over the community. Also, DBG wanted THJ shut-down but they have continued to keep the server up, it wasn't a mutual agreement it was THJ disregarding DBG entirely. The entire thing is such an overt illegal business that everyone who contributed and received payment is going to be prosecuted.
what crime are the contributors going to be charged with, officer?

i gave them thirty dollars over the course of three months. never did get my EoM but eh.

They could have easily created this project legit without hurting the community (Don't use the steam client) and probably received plenty of unsolicited donations still. On proving the concept who knows they could have taken it to DBG and collaborated but they chose to do it the retarded way and get clapped for it.

You shill and seethe for grifters Shovel and it's sad.

I remember their EoM premium currency thing (1 dollar = 1 EoM) and looking at the math of how much it cost to keep those server buffs running and how they were constantly refreshed while I played there... It seemed like a lot of money.


There was like 5 different buffs and they costed various amounts of EoM for so many hours. I don't remember the exact values, but one was at least 20 EoM for lets say 4 hours. Maintaining that desirable buff 24 hours would cost $120 a day, and there was about another 4 that were something like 5 EoM for however long. So make that another 120 a day to keep the other buffs going. 240 x 365 = 87,600.


I don't know how much a server costs to maintain. I'm guessing less than that.
