Well, I was waiting to see teh actual business model. If you are going to question it, then shouldn't you post the model instead of your opinion?

I hapen to know a few things about the gaming industry, and I can tell you UMGE (not Evony; Evony is but one game) is not doing anything outside of the normal business practices which other companies use. I'm not a fanboi. I just understand the business side of the equation far better than most of my fellow gamers.

I have developed games, built two companies around those games and had to bring together some very different parties in the process.

Is UMGE any different from Vivendi? If so, please explain how.
