70 players in the game per team, 120 teams, that's 8400 players. NCAA 09 sold about 600k copies at $60 a pop. That's $36,000,000. I'm not sure what the profit margin is on each game, but after development, advertising, hardware, packaging, etc, I'm guessing it's about $10 per game. That's only $6,000,000. If EA gave 100% of their profit to the players that's about $714 per player. But then the players in the game are getting money when the players left out are not. So we have to pay them, too. That's an extra 15 players per team making 1800 more overall. That drops the payment down to $588 per player. But EA needs to make money on their game or there is no incentive to make it. They do most of the work, so they should get most of the money...75% or so should do. Well, that drops us down to $147 per player per year. EA should just give Keller his $147 per year he was in the game and tell him to STFU.
