О финансах и разработке
Это интервью было к "Нибиру" прицеплено. Про игры и деньги.

Q: Do you think that it is possible to make money on developing games? And how rich are you already?
A: Well it is definitely possible to make money on developing games.
Several gaming projects around the world succeeded in doing so and some even had phenomenal yields. But there are of course also several gaming projects that were losers and in case of which investors and producers cried at the end, because recently it is very costly to develop a game. When developing a game, it is always important to be in contact with players, to reflect their opinions, motives, moods and ideas, because this will be paid to you dearly (if you ignore it). It is definitely not easy to comply with all those demands, but if you are able to make a product that can address the players and if you are able to get it to the market, including foreign ones, then the answer is yes, you can make money. But it is of course not so easy, because if you try to do business honestly, then your company will operate but you will definitely not drive a Ferrari. You can definitely trust me. And when you add the “payment morals” of some partners, then you will rather worry. You need a lot of resources for advertising, further development, employees and other things. These costs are of course not insignificant and it sometimes happens that the situation is more complicated, but on the other hand we have several partners with good payment morals. These are the problems that the public usually does not see, because it only learns from the media about companies that succeeded to make money on this or on that game. These numbers are of course sometimes amazing, but as I said, there are immense costs and financing of not always successful new projects behind all this. And how rich we are? This is very relative. For someone we maybe are, and for someone we are not. Everybody understands the word richness differently. For someone it means money and property, for someone intellectual richness and this is all very subjective. But I believe that given the size of our small company with which we succeeded above all on foreign markets, we have what to be proud of. But we cannot lie back, because competition and development proceed quickly and the fight for the market and for the customer is tough.

поэтому пришлось заглянуть на их сайт - выглядит симпатично.
Порадовала старческая пигментация на лысой головке профессора.
Может быть, тут еше ностальгия замешана -
мне Прага очень понравилась в свое время.
