    I don't understand this fixation with admob. I get that you want to better monetize yours apps on android - we all do. I also know from experience that mobclix is a complete waste of time.

    However GS has stated, quite a bit, that admob won't happen in the near future. Personally I would rather see playhaven on android and a playhaven dashboard (I could live with a week or 2 delay on that dashboard - while slightly old data, it is much more valuable than the 3-4 month old data we are getting when we are paid). right now playhaven is making me 25-35x what iad is pulling in for 2 games that are 7-9 months old and get a handful of dl's a day. That's amazingly good.

    You have to understand that GS is a business and the math says that pro's subs can't support it alone. Math (yearly):

    lets assume there are 1000 pro members.

    Pro Subs:
    300 * 1000 = +$300,000

    Transfer fees (credit card fees/paypal/whatever)
    -$10,000


    Operating expenses (outside of salaries):
    -$10,000 (could be more, could be less. Again a guess - mostly thinking about running the site stuff)

    Taxes 25% (rough estimate)
    -$70,000

    Office space (does GS have offices?)
    -$??? (no idea here)

    Whats left at this point
    $210,000

    Number of employees
    well we have SSS, Codewizard, bobcobb, Franckoo, Blackcloak, SF, and whoever else
    so 6-10 people

    210,000/6 = $35,000. 10 people is $21,000.

    OH, and in the last state of GS, codewizard said they were looking to hire more people.




    Can we all just relax a bit? Understand that GS can't make all our dreams come true overnight? I think it would be best if we all rallied behind something that is truly feasible - playhaven for android. admob isn't gonna happen anytime soon and you are just wasting your time at this point by not accepting this. The devs know we want it, but continuing to tell them that is not going to make much of a difference.

    Playhaven for admob, would be a good option. I make some money from it on ios, and on another game developed using unity. Somethink like 900$ in the last 90 days.

    They have more than 10 people employed, and I'm sure that there are many more PROs than that. And yes, they do have office spaces.
