Seems to me like a way of quickly liquidating assets into personal profit and hitting the road. That's the biggest problem contemporary MMOs have, people behind them start with the goal of earning money, and creativity is thrown into the bin.
I dont understand what your trying to say? In my opinion all MMO's were developed to make money i mean why would people spend all that time and money on development to not earn money and plus it the benefit of earning money makes the developers work harder on creativity. But thats just my opinion.
