Miky-- Have you calculated where all that 180K (in addition to the income from the new release amplified tenfold by the invalidation of previous keys, which I'm sure you'll stick up for as well) is going? Or do you just assume that more individuals than Mark, a Mac developer (who is paid so well as to bail the moment Sandy shows his true colors), and a web developer (how many do you need?) are being paid? I hate pointing the "overpaid" finger. I'd rightly say Mark deserves it after all the work he's put in over such a long time (having thousands of happy[...] users justifies the pay, and I do profess they are happy [yea, ignorance is bliss]), and I suppose not every good web developer can work in his/her spare time for a cause they support (unlike our a2h here; though not to reiterate that a clear lack of support has traversed the ranks of Yoyo's employees). I guess, also, that a--coordinator?--so talented as Sandy is an invaluable resource to GM's public relations and even to the staff and should definitely be queued up before the interest of the ever dwindling budget (No one I've seen has ever repelled so many individuals [and a Mac developer] as Sandy, leaving the forums in an uproar until concerned topics are deleted...). Anyway, I suppose I can see where that money is going now, you're right. Try now to justify it.
Freezeway-- As HaRRiKiRi pointed out, since architectures vary anyway, a recompile is necessary on all platforms a-priori. However, cross compilation has proven to be not only an option (especially in the case of Windows and Linux) but often a necessity (good luck rigging a compiler to work ON the Wii).

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Josh. No need to throw a tantrum.
The Mac dev has actually agreed to stay, and they've hired another Mac dev.
They have to pay each employee, they have to pay for hosting, and I'd imagine they have to pay for a lot of other stuff.
Sure, Sandy's a moron, and they probably don't manage their money very well, but it's not completely pathetic.

So they have three coders, a web team and a Sandy. They could make do with three or four of the above at this point (Sandy could poke around the forum and make bizarre suggestions there, and/or one of the Mac developers could storm off about it).

Special pleading. Argumentum ad ignorantiam. A cute ad hominem. I'll just add tu quoque and move on.
As stated, their server will run them for roughly $150 monthly. They're making more than that *daily*. And Bandwidth, assuming you actually meant "traffic," is whatever the server can put out; 1&1 doesn't limit it. (They may pay more for additional bandwidth in the literal sense, but if they do, it's not much).
And frankly, it's irrelevant what goes on internally if the budget has gone down more than 30%.

If you had actually looked at their latest glog post you would have seen that their monthly hosting bill, because of how much traffic they get, is much, much higher than $150. And that's just for the bandwidth.
