    According to Wikipedia they have 700+ employees*. So assuming they are running to a profit and that they spend about 25% of profits on salaries with an average of £25k and giving a net worth of 10x annual profits. My estimate is:

    700 x £25000 x 4 x 10 = £700 million.

    So I will get a bank loan and buy it and sell it to BoredMormon for £1.5 billion making me a profit of £900 million. Nice. :)


    *including at least one artist(!)

    I had really good idea for AF Unity-related prank this year, but it'd take at least a week to prepare and I've came up just few days before the date. Well, there's next year, I guess. Won't spoil anything tho and will start preparations now.

    Well, in a year time, I could probably develop second persona here so you'd never know it came from me.
