Thank you for your balanced reply SasQuatch,
By no means I can compare my idea to microsoft, it was just an analogy for you to get what were my reasons.
I own a business in rl so I know at least to some extent how to plan my resources (but I cannot be that naive or that overconfident to say this cannot fail).
I also did not say anything about profits... please mind I only talked percentages, e.g. 50% out of 0 profit would still be 0
And as to why would I not try to code this on my own? Because i value my time far more than that: instead of me spending 10 hours on coding a single piece using google, someone else could potentially do it in 10 minutes with far more optimized code. I cannot and do not want to compete with people that do this for a living.
I respect the fact that everyone is better at something, and I would be a fool not to use people's strenghts instead of their weaknesses (thus said, my weakness in this case is coding and my strength is "seeing something happen before it happens")
Instead, i am willing to give up a (big) chunk of my profit to someone (mind you, not anyone) willing to take the chance (like the lottery, you spend, you spend, you spend - just to get that one chance in 50 million to win - just that here the chances are a lot higher and you can influence the result
).
