  Brace yourselves...

  " $1.2 billion in revenue to date "

  " dollar size is probably $300 million to $500 million annually "

  Dollar amount invested in player satisfaction, fixing glitches, new courses, $0.00

  Hi

  Your above quoting is not only misleading, outdated and at best disingenuous, you are completely dishonest by attempting to conflate your personal gripes with this game to a fact-based article, written nearly 4 years ago.

  It's been said before by much more qualified people than me: If you don't want to play here, don't.

  Nice try though :-)

  Cheers,

  Peter

  Very interesting stuff...The article mentions courses from Japan and other countries on waiting list to get on WGT...wonder what happened??

  Interesting article albeit from September 2012.

  I did enjoy the quote from Prata that stated "Moving to WGT was such a huge difference because we could push updates and new ideas directly to consumers as soon as we had them."

  Slight chuckle

  It costs $$$$ to get the golden putter for the clashes.  Did they every  think about getting them in bulk?  Might get them cheaper.

  Apparently, the Kardashian family just signed a 4 year contract for $100 million US. And they provide what as entertainment?

  If the "Momager" was a black man, she'd be called a pimp...wait, I don't think even pimps farm out their own daughters as Ho's..need a few bucks?, leak a sex tape of one of your kids..ffs

  I certainly don't begrudge wgt making money...not when ^^^ is the competition for the entertainment dollar.

  F'ing difference does it make the ' Forbes ' article is four years old? Hint...

  None!

  As a matter fact, there's more people playing now than four years ago. So, we can safely surmise the dollar figures are even higher now than then.

  " misleading quotes ", the hell is wrong with you?

  It was extremely misleading. For those that didn't bother to look any farther than your post, they read that WGT has collected $1.3 billion in revenues. That was not so. Especially 4 years ago.

  Hint: A lot of readers don't bother to look past a post to see if it's right. It helps if you activate your link. Just highlight your link, copy it and paste it in the box that pops up when you click the chain link in the toolbar.  :-)
