This is what my company is worth!
I would love it if in the next patch or something that we could move into a bigger office and hire more people!
I think you won the game. So it’s your responsibility to share such game tips with us small indie developers on how a monolithic company such as yours develops games

Trial and Error really
Ive found shaking things up, like doing contract work brings in the cash if you have the team and time for it.
shift the game creation around more of one thing less of another,
Developing sequels to your old games brings in a LOT of money as well
I just found out sequels sell well as long as they are spaced. Otherwise they complain you are just rehashing the same game.

The way i do it is
New Game, Contracts, Game Contracts, New Game, New Game, Contracts, Game Contract, Development work, Sequel, rinse and repeat.
MMOs are a pain, you have to watch your maintence costs, ive had 3 in the past with 4 Xpacs and the maintence gets anywhere from 5 to 30 million a month, if its in the red all the time, take it off the market.

I’ve been following these rules, seems to be a solid plan. I just started simultaneous MMO’s, seeing how it works out
