Well look at PGC for example. Server costs over $500 a month. That's still not enough; hence, the forums were moved to ezBoard. And where does it come from? Billy works, and uses his salary to pay for it.
IGN is a company. The employees aren't going to all work 2nd jobs so they can pay for IGN. IGN is a company that needs to make profits, and right now, you don't make **** on the internet. You need to sell things. IGN is selling memberships, Amazon sells merchendise, porn sites have memberships, eBay charges people to sell products. Get how it works?
