If it only took a mere 1,000 people for it to be profitable, than I'm sure that Wish would still be around (of course, that's assuming they paid $120k for that equipment; if they paid $1.2M financed by maxing out their credit cards then that's a different story). There are other costs to consider: labor costs (unless we hire "volunteers" hahahaha), overhead (pool table in our posh offices), marketing ($tratics costs dough, yo), and interest payments (1.99%* APR for the first six months!). But it would be fun, though.

*APR is calculated by taking the highest Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal ever and adding 29.99%.

That could be a bargain at twice the price :). I know they couldn't hold up with 10K users... but what if you just had 1k users. At a mere 8 bucks a month, and considering probably 2-3k per month is rack space and bandwidth leasing.... you are still talking about 5k per month return on a 120k investment.. not including your development time, but hey.. it is your game. That's a 50% ROI annually... now, if only I had capital... and some coding skill... and an idea.... yeah, then I'd be set.
maybe we could all pitch in and make an Autoduel Online server. Get Logitech to throw in some gear and dough and we could 'specifically support' their steering solution :).
