Re: Jagex - Ominously silent

I would be amazed if PA didn't turn a profit. Other than a couple of cores on a shared box, operating costs are basically nil, and 400-600 people buying a credit every round brings in about 2k GBP a round.

That said, I would be similarly amazed if PA were a core part of Jagex long-term strategy. For starters, they'd be paying more attention to it.

Additionally, because revenue is so low, any kind of pressure the PA player base mounts (by not buying credits) would probably largely be lost in the financial noise. Further, it's not like refusing to buy credits in a dying game is going to set off a media storm, so they have little to fear in the PR department either.

Taking all that into account, a boycott might still make Jagex take a second look at PA. However, their response might as easily be "Ok, let's fix this broken game" as "If PA no longer makes a profit, we'll just axe it". So be careful.
