What's this blacklisting stuff plastered all over the site? Did InXile really lose their shit over Codex, or is DU memeing again?

Merida, again

Yeah, they Jewed the Codex out of their money. But now we are discussing Fargo's deviant lifestyle and failed marriages. Much more interesting conversation.

That face is very distracting. Can't concentrate on the TITS.

You can put a towel over the face.


Yeah but once you see it, that shit will burn right through the towel.

Just so you know, we’re not blacklisting you guys, but have been asked to cancel your demo appointment.

That's a statement of the outside agency's stance, not of Techland or inXile. The difference is fairly clear:

we have been requested to let you

The reason we’ve been given is

we’ve understandably been asked to take action

we’re not blacklisting you guys, but have been asked to cancel your demo appointment

Techland never communicated with us again after asking for Infinitron's real name, and inXile warned us that we had committed a felony for PR.

How the hell a multimillionaire ends up banging something that grotesque?

Look at his house. Millionaires don't have tastes of the common people. He likes 'em surgically altered, e.g. his second wife here https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/674436481771962372/uIbe8vMJ.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BHJktjOCMAAu4XG.jpg

People you should always go after the man and not his family. And parents, wives and children are family.

Lets do some basic math and business calculations. We know two things about Wasteland 2, there were at least 100k keys out before it launched, and the kickstarter covered about half the total dev cost.

So let's call that 500k in new sales. Wasteland 2 sells for $40 full price, but has been discounted many times, let's say average selling price is $30 (this is probably higher than reality, but we don't know).

$30 * 500k sales = 15 million in raw revenue.

Steam/GOG/etc take a 30% cut. So that leaves 10.5 million as revenue to InXile.

They pay back what they spend making Wasteland 2, leaves 7.5 in profit.

Then they pay taxes, in California is gonna be p high, I'd expect that leaves them with ~4 million dollars to invest in future projects.

This doesn't even consider Fargo and the other owners of InXile might want some of that profit to go to them.

They don't pay taxes on their revenue just on any 'profits'. Since they will invest most of the money and use it to pay employees they won't really pay much tax, though the employees will.

So funny how everyone called me a stupid asshole for saying that for every million raised at least a million went in someone's pocket. Probably way more in reality.

It's like all you had to do was a brief post and comprehend it, yet you didn't or couldn't.

Well shit for brains, whose fault is that. Great fucking writing skills :lol:

Anyway I was not responding to your shitty post per se, just the sales figures obviously. Now eat a rotting horse dick and die.

That's how every business works. You think that every time money changes hands 50% of it disappears? :lol:
