MMORPG's and FPS's;
TODAY IS THE DAY I RANT!

It's been a trend for the past...oh 10 years or so that M(assively)M(ultiplayer)O(nline) video games can give out lots of profit even if there isn't a subscription fee. These games work on the logic that if they release about 20-40% of all user content to the public that profit will arise from players who buy Special Points with Real Currency. As such, even video games that boast free-to-play enviroment can still gain a profit.

But a question arises; Where Does All That Money Go?

[Assumed Answer] To the servers the game is run on, To the Admins securing the game, and to funding for further advancements in the game.
[Propaganda Answer] All or near 99% of all Proceeds of the game are sent to the creators/company/licence company as their personal profit.

[TRUE ANSWER!] While neither is completely wrong or right they are both are close to the target and although it varies per company, the general income from a game is not spent on maintaining the game itself.

For most AMERICAN (keep that in mind)Online Video Games, you will find that some type of subscription is required to play. Whereas F2Plaers will find it nae impossible to advance to certain levels without the paid service or will lack major funtions to the game.

As for Imports; they are down to 3 catgories. Japanese, Chinese, Korean.

And for the sake of those who play them The licensing companies that bring them to America or International ARE NOTHING BUT LEECHES!

Each and every company that has ever imported an MMO of any kind has followed this procedure;

1. Half-ass Translation, and voices from neighborhood kids.
2. Reduce Violence/Dirty Jokes/Rude behavior in order to gain the audience of 8-16 year olds are opposed to the mature audience the games were created for. *Only for mature games of course*
3. Hire a protection software designed for American coded Games games and not Eastern Coded Games
4. Pick 3-4 moderators from the community of players or office workers to monitor system abuse.
5. From there kick-back, relax, and watch the money roll in.

Eastern Games arn't meant to be played on Western Soil and although It is illegal to do so I Implore anyone who finds this message to not pay on American servers, boycott the companies responsible for it's distribution and find a way to get a account on the original language server. You will find a better environment, more moderators than you can escape from (They will catch you), and in each and every case much faster updates and original content.

As for western games, just play offline. Western RPG suck.
