I wonder how much they're taking in these days. I would normally think that it would have to be slowing down by now as you can only sell to so many people. The fact I don't see it on other gaming boards gives me the impression it's not as popular outside it's internal stuff. I could be completely wrong and they've tons of new user sign ups. When was the last time they offered a new ship jpeg? Unlike some people, I don't think they're on the verge of bankruptcy, but I would expect the funds aren't coming in like they used to.
There are a lot of people tracking this. Based on available info, they're still bringing in over $100,000 per day on average. Revenue hasn't slowed down. They offer a new ship for "purchase" about every other month. I think they're up to over 100 different ships that are already in the code.
However, costs are likely increasing faster than revenue. 500+ employees, 5 studios around the world, increasing server costs, etc. This is why they've had to dip into the investor well twice now.
For about five years now, I've wondered what would run out first: backer patience or money?
I'm amazed to say there seems to be plenty of both right now.
