Yeah, I kinda think that the entire POINT of this discussion is that ET overcharges for ****, and seriously, how the **** can you tell me what you think fwz costs when you probably don’t even know what a ****ing web server is, let alone how much (HINT: DAMN NEAR ****ING FREE) one costs to own and run! ET says “it costs money” but may as well say “hur the server costs ten billion dollars a year and we’re severely underfunded” and you’d eat that **** right up.
THIS **** COSTS TOO ****ING MUCH FOR WHAT IT COSTS THEM
THE POINT OF THIS “DISCUSSION” (read: flamewar) IS THAT IT’S OVERPRICED
And we haven’t even mentioned the whole “SITE IS PLASTERED WITH BULL**** ADVERTISING” thing either… let me see, how many websites with paid staff and many more servers than CZ has (far as I recall, ET has mentioned that fwz uses ONE SINGLE server… but I may recall him saying it’s split to a database, web, and caching/proxy servers now – oh wow 3 servers)... and those sites run JUST FINE with all advertising income. So in practice we shouldn’t even need to pay for this game at all, just be plastered with bull**** advertising everyone blocks anyway. Retail games don’t have advertising, you think about that?
Who the **** am I kidding; my well thought out, airtight arguments are just going to be taken out of context and only one line will be replied to anyway. It’s 4am and I’m ****ing going to sleep.
We need some data on this and Falcon FW is not run on Evil Trout’s basement it takes 60GB a day.
