I would like to buy Reflections Interactive, but if I were to purchase them I would competly screw them up because I have no money left over to publish and fund the game.

So I could buy 30million dollars worth of shares and get lots of choice of what will happen with the next games, maybe even more chooice than reflections themselves.

well maybe 15million for that the other 15million I'll leave aside for something else.

maybe Australia's only destruction derby bowl.

Private Airport... 54 Million.
Sorry Coyote... Your over budget.

I would definatly buy a lot of shares in a gaming company. I'm not quite sure wether to go for ubisoft as a whole or specifically reflections.

I would obviously keep back some funds to pay to put me through university.

A PS3:
As Many contollers as it can take.
All of the games.

An Xbox 360:
As Many contollers as it can take.
All of the games.

A new and amazing powerful computer. Not all the games... but a lot.

A five million dollar house. One in Melbourne. One in Los Angeles

A huge 77" Sony Widescreen LCD HDTV.
A full home theatre system.

TV's Hometheatre PS3 etc in each bedroom and lounge in each house.

Some expensive cars, probably a BMW M3, A Merc SLR, a DB9 and an HSV commodore VZ(the last model).

But before all this. I plan to put aside all of the money for half a year in a high interest bank acount. At the end of every week i should make about $160,000 a month. at the end of the period i will take out my easy million of savings from that i'm sure. And put it to a good use. I don't know what.

With the rest of the money once i've bought everything, i will keep the rest in a high interest bank account. at the end of each month, all the interest will be transferred into a usuable account, keeping the original figure intact, and leaving enough money for me to live on before my next interest payment come in.

How's that for a savings plan?

Okay, I'm gonna buy a pure white Mercedes-Benz G55 ///AMG with Gangster-tinted windows and with the rest of the money i'm gonna build a 5 stars Hotel, so i'm gonna make new money :)

Actually that is a brilliant idea. Maybe invest in something with the 30 mill at the start, then it will be a constant profit, so you can live comfortably for the rest of your life without working.

One of my friends told me an investment in a hotel is a bad idea. He says it will take four years before you start to see a real proffit, and you can't always depend on someone to stay at a fancy hotel because they are so bloody expensive.

Peabody hotel in memphis makes tons of cash. If you knew the location of it like I do, youd know why it makes shitloads of money. It makes so much money, (But the part I like most about Memphis is that it is so much like New Orleans, I mean, if not an exact replica of New Orleans, with far less hookers and crime) becasue it is smack dab in the middle of downtown Memphis, everything is in walking distance, the lobby is awesome. You can walk to the huge Tourist mall, which is literally connected to the hotel itself, with tons of shops and the mall also has a place Called "Jillians", which is a pool hall/bar/game room. Jillians is awesome. Then you can walk to the Rendezvous, for the best ****ing BBQ ribs I have ever had in my life! Then, when your done with food, there is so much more you can do. You can go back to Jillians, take a ride int he park via horse and buggy, you can go to Graceland to visit the tourist attraction that honers the now perished king of Rock and Roll. [I know rock is NOT my type of music but I DO respect Elvis. (One of my favorites is a resturant/bar called "Hueys", they let you do graffiti on their walls, and the dont mind!)

You know what, Im going to post a picture If I can find one Of the Lobby of the Peabody in Memphis, and every other Memphis picture I can find.

You'd need a lot more than $30mil to buy EA. more like $30billion i believe, if not more.

As for what i would do with thirty million dollars.
I would probably shout all my friends a party overseas somewhere, probably on a Pacific island or Australia, or possibly somewhere in Europe.

Then I would buy a MacBook Pro and upgrade our internet.

Then I would buy a car, but not an expensive one, I wouldn't really like to be seen in one. Maybe a Peugeot or Citroen.

I would also go on a CD buying spree.

After doing that, I imagine I would still have at least $29.5mil left. I would then invest at least $15m in shares, and put the rest in the bank.

Then I would just get back to life, and hopefully not much would change, other than the fact i would now not have to worry about spending money on little things.

and you wouldn't have to worry about getting a job either, you can spend your life doing what you wish, whatever that maybe.

Anyways, EA is on of the top developers, apparently there was some new on EA trying to buy part of Ubisoft.

But EA are a bunch of scabs that's why they are worth so much.
All they think off is money, owning continuous but popular repetitive series which all pretty much feel the same, particularly the NFS series.

Also EA where changing people to buy additional cars for their NFS games, spend something like $15 and get a few additional cars which are already on the disk, sounds like a bit of a rip off only to unlock them!

Everytime I think of EA, I know there not passionate about the games they publish. Everytiime I think of Ubisoft I feel that it's more about passion and less about money. But still... the world runs of money and they need to work for money rather than passion.

Woops, I mashed the QUOTE button instead of the EDIT button, and didn't notice. Now, I don't see a DELETE button. If I can't get rid of this post, will someone delete it for me? Thanks, man. Sorry about that.

Then you could rule the world. LOL! But you would have to decide what to do with thirty kazagillion dollars, then. Nothing is ever simple enough.

Man, I guess I’d spend mine trying to further the causes of wildlife conservation, renewable energy development, and pollution cleanup.
Recently I've been overlooking what I would do with such a large sum of money. I would invest in renewable energy so I never have to pay a power bill again while helping the enviroment at the same time.

I would also fund the development of a online shopping store with a large campaign on reducing your carboon footprint via. the use of it's delivery service.

Rather than 200 people individually driving to the shopping centre, they could all order online and only the deliver has to drive to everyones place.

Which will signifigantly reduce carbon emmissions and willi save lots of money on petrol, which is very expensive at the moment.

Prehaps you could employ(hire) some game developers too.
3D Game Studios a fairly respected game development kit. But you can do a lot more with valve's source engine.

Provide free with any source games, and more advanced features are provided with the developer version which I think costs around $6000 a developer. (Although there is no set price)

The Unreal engine has a cost of $7000 per developer, a team of 100 developers would cost $700,000. Also when you think about it professional software is pretty expensive.

Autodesk Maya, Max, Inventor, ect... cost around $4000 to $7000 each depending on the product. Good thing my trustworth education copy of 3d max only costs $250 and Maya Personal Learning Edition is free :).
