Is this what OS calls a response to an argument? You've yet to counter the point I'm making and continue to just come after me, the person, for whatever reason.

Are you done trolling me? Why are you even responding if you aren't going to talk about this?

Eh. I've been called worse by better people.

If someone on salary spends part of that salaried time on a project, then part of their salary is part of the project cost! I mean, ...the heck?

Have you actually read any of your responses to me?

I wrote them, so clearly I did. You continue to avoid my initial point (to someone else I might add) that EA didn't make a straight 162K profit and there's costs involved.

I continue to support that argument and you continue to insult me without any attempt at disputing my arguments. That's pretty much all that's happening. I've asked you multiple times to leave me alone if you aren't going to carry on the thread topic discussion, but you seem to ignore that.

I suppose with 63K posts, OS supports your behaviour.

Where did I say EA made a profit? I merely intimated they didn't spend much on marketing.

Except salary doesn't work that way. It would be impossible for me to tell you how much of my salary was devoted to a particular project in any given cycle, because I'm working on several things every day. That's kind of the point of salary--that you're there for whatever comes up, so your cost to the company is static instead of variable.
