They may be spread over different games, but part of the profits go straight up to gazillion. I could see them making back this money within a year. I admit it's rather optomistic, but given that single big budget MMOs have not gone well since WoW, I think spreading around your investment may be the wiser choice. @Mark Asher

Once you spread that money around, you are not looking at big budget MMOs. You know, they’ve raised over $100M, which is some serious money, but they have eight — EIGHT! — MMO projects in the works.
