The more money flows out of EU the lesser MindArk has to pay developers, new Hardware or give out more loot.
What positive effect we have of a person who invests 100k US$ into EU to after that withdraw 10k US$ every month? Honestly I do not see any good out of this neither for MindArk nor for the participants in EU. |
I think its a bit simplistic to view investor as a constant drain on
MA and its resources. And I think thats because
MA have in some sense created a system that means they will always profit from investors.
MA does make money from investors, if you look at the setups with regards to the Bank licenses for example there are taxes and other fees associated with running them.
When you look at
MA's plan, then it seems new investments will always consist of some element of ongoing taxation/fees to maintain your investment. Those taxation and fees are also linked to performance (eg selling more items in your shops means more fees to
MA), so there is motivation to promote and get customers.
In some sense they take a viewpoint rather similar to the UK, where we aren't too fussed who owns what company or the fact that trillions of dollars of cash flows through these shores from one country to another. The reality is that some of that money sticks and stays in the UK and that is what is driving our economy.
