    I'm sure if you were to guess what i'd pay, you would be 100% right.

If Chedburn were willing to sell his creation, what do you think a a fair price would be? >.>

i remember reading one of cheds posts saying torn makes him around 5-6 grand a month profit

so it would be expensive to give that monthly income up im sure!

Quote from Ched:
"Torn is a company, the money doesn't go straight in to my pocket. I get paid the same way all the other developers do, I also get paid the same amount regardless of how many donations Torn receives - £5,670 per month pretax. A tidy sum, but perhaps not abnormal for someone working in the software industry in the UK. If Torn ever starts to struggle, I'll reduce it, if Torn does exceptionally well (like it's been doing over the past couple of months) I don't need to increase my take because it's perfectly satisfactory and totally fulfils my needs - it all goes straight back in to Torn.

Money isn't a big driving factor for me, only financial stability - which I'm very lucky to have. I have no interest in bigger houses or fast cars.

New subscriber benefits reward subscribers which we've wanted to do for a long time. It also means more money for Torn (not me) so we can do more things - currently we're having talks about getting a few new developers on board to work on more new projects."

thats a nice quote but it must be completely false - i base that upon the completely terrible servers this game runs on and the such small amount of them.

Why would you need to when there are plenty of sites with free HD...what? Oh sorry, you said Torn.

Never mind.

Some companies go for 10-30x their yearly revenue...

That being said, some companies are hyped, have no funds, business plans or do even produce anything yet still go for ridiculous sums...

If torn stays with someone personally attached to it, itll be better for everybody anyway imo
