Do the math.
Let's assume that all 40,000 members paid $25 to get Insider, which is high cause that wasn't always the rate. That's $1,000,000. Now, IGN has a staff of 40 people. That's $25,000 per person in salary which really isn't all that much. This isn't even taking into account all of the hardware, software, bandwidth, overhead costs that are also associated with the site. Anybody who thinks IGN are making out like thieves must have failed math.
