How exactly does an anime studio make money?
Main Post:
How much do they make from TV Networks and streaming services? I've read that the best way to support an anime is by buying merch. So I presume it works quite differently from western television?
Top Comment: Most anime studios are just contractors on the project, and only get paid to cover the cost of production+ a small profit. Since they aren't invested in the production committee, they earn the same whether a show sells 500 copies or 50,000. Merchandise is a good way to support anime, but that money gets split between the main investors (record companies, model kit and figurine companies etc) and the original creator. A few of the most successful studios invest in their own shows, and make more money if it does well. Kyoto Animation does this on all recent shows, Trigger does this pretty often these days (through Ultra Super Pictures). SHAFT is on a lot of production committees for its shows, though it's all over the place-high on the totem pole with Nisekoi, for instance, but at the bottom for Fate/Extra: Last Encore. The best way to support these kinds of projects is to buy the Japanese Blurays, artbooks, or character goods. Many studios also have an official shop with art books and other promotional goods--this money goes straight to the studio, with some minor royalties to the original creator. The production companies make tons of money from selling a license to streaming companies in Japan and abroad. On TV, they actually buy a cheap midnight time slot (like infomercials on a late night cable channel) and make no money from people just watching it: the hope is people see it and decide to go buy the novel/manga/mecha model kits being promoted by that anime show.

Undecember demo thoughts?
Main Post:
Didnt even know this existed until today. Have the day off so said F it n downloaded it I dont know how the full game is gona be, but this steam demo is really fun. And im using a controller. The visuals are beautiful, the combat has weight, and the music is good. And a decently complex loot filter menu, and the rune system is appealing, im feeling like i can just have one character and build it however i want but not sure yet
If it gets full controller UI support more than it does now (it has a full menu for controller hotkeys, i havent figured out how to make the skill ui change to xbox controller icons though, they need to add that asap and have snap select instead of virtual mouse, though i can kb+m for menus. Cant set Start button to a hotkey for some reason or use button combos, hope they change that), i see myself playing and possibly spending money (depending on what it is thats offered). DI got about 200 from me before we became Immortals and I realized it was just a shitty system in general and told my clan goodbye and uninstalled, even though i had some fun in the time i played which was more because of the ppl i played with. Im having a blast right now , i don't know how the MTX is gonna be but the game itself is looking good.
Anyone else tried it out yet, and how do you feel?
*Edit - you can zoom in and out and actually hide your damn helmet. I dont know why but that just made my day lol.

How good/awful would you say is it to be entirely free-to-play? The game looks interesting, but I already have PoE and LE as my main games, so I'm not gonna spend money on this. Is it still enjoyable?

Fable/Fable: The Lost Chapters. Promise open world game with +100 hours of content, promote quest lines like the Sandgoose and its legendary sword and a fight with a devastating dragon in your interviews and previews, deliver incredibly linear game that takes 15-20 hours to 100%, have NPC character mention the Sandgoose while flirting with her hubby but remove everything else from the game, delete the hallway and make the door to the dragon the ONLY Demon Door that does not open but leave the dragon on the disc so we know what we missed out on. Then a year later, re-release the game AT FULL MOTHERCUNTING PRICE with the cut content THAT WAS ALREADY ON THE FUCKTWATING DISC I ALREADY BOUGHT THAT YOU DICKTITTING IDIOTS COULDN'T BOTHER TO FINISH THE FIRST SHITBITCHING TIME along minor content additions. I am still mad 11 1/2 years later, fuck those guys, I'm glad Lionhead is shuttered, Peter Molydicks is literally Hitler, everyone who liked Fable is a retard. Fuck you all.
