Idea for a new game

Hi,
Here’s an idea for a new game, it will be more like a SimCity type of game, can be a Zoo Tycoon type game too. The idea is to sell your lovely hardware to the masses, then also sell developer licenses, set prices higher than base currency even if the base currency is lower than the other currencies, hold the money and delay payments for a month, that way you get an extra month of bank interest. The idea is to become the richest company in the world. Anyone up for making this game?

UPDATE: I was just informed that this idea was stolen by Apple, and they have used it as a business plan, not a game idea anymore. [import]uid: 3826 topic_id: 14580 reply_id: 314580[/import]

I thought this was serious, and was going to ask how you edited your post.

Then I read it more carefully.

Personally I totally get why they pay on NET30. (I’m glad it’s not NET45 to be honest.)

Have you used many companies that provide similar services who pay with no gap?

I know in the past using non-app-related sites to sell or promote goods (clickbank, CPAlead, MaxBounty, IncentReward, CJ, etc.) that it was the norm.

I know I’d do the same in their position, especially with the scam apps that sneak through - you’d be losing a lot of money that way.

Anyway, I’m pretty sure they’re just covering their asses (as I believe they should - nothing sinister.

I do agree that the issue of prices, however - they evened out 99c apps for Australia, and I think $1.99 apps - but if you look at the $5 mark we’re still paying more for some reason. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 14580 reply_id: 54161[/import]

Could you explain NET30 and NET45? [import]uid: 79135 topic_id: 14580 reply_id: 54176[/import]

Hey Andrew, sure.

NET 30 means you earn money in January, then you get it at the end of Feb or start of March. 30 days after the period ends.

NET 45 means you’d get money made in January in the middle of March, around 45 days after the period ended.
