The trend of slowly declining revenues on the current Live Game portfolio is expected to continue as in previous quarters due to the aging of the games. The relaunch of The Secret World might temporarily have a positive impact on this trend short trem. The Company will continue to support the current Live Games as long as they continue to contribute positivly to the Company's results.
As this report will be the last without revenues from Conan Exiles it would be cool if someone who is better with those numbers and words than me can tell us what they mean in relation to the expected support of the current Live Games.
As far as I understand them, the operating costs (all befor taxes) are 140 k higher than the total revenue (1,671 k), BUT those operating costs INCLUDE the production costs of Conan Exiles, right? We can not see what adds exactly how much to the revenue, but from my noob point of view it looks like the old Live Games very much contribute positivly to the Companys results - if you seperate all costs for Conan Exiles.
And finally, look for how long they are keeping AO up, and even adding some minor things here and there.
