Some of Marco's past comments about decay and MindArk's revenue

Since this comes up all the time, I thought it was worth posting these quotes in a collection here. Thanks to Poisonhearts for taking the time to dig them out. If anyone has other relevant MA quotes containing additional information on the matter, PM me a link and I'll add them here.

So MA makes money from the decay of items. However, MA have never stated all decay contributes to MA's revenue. Ammo consumption is not counted as decay for these purposes. Auction fees are recycled back into the economy.
