Well, that's a given suspicion. But let's look at the facts here.
For starters, you don't have to spend money. It's a donation. There are other ways to earn RE if you really want it.
The population for DR is always absurdly low. I would say that the donations it gets are probably just enough to keep the server online, if even that. According to the last server (DR BR), this is a fact.
If it really was just about stealing people's money, I'm sure it would have been done before. (if it was worth it). But I doubt it is. Not only that, they are actually investing a lot of their time into coding the game to make it better.
Last but not least, the DR community is small. If they tried to open a new server again after shutting one down after making their money, the DR community wouldn't just move there. Or if they did, they wouldn't waste their money, knowing that GM Team's past.
I'm just saying that that possibility, while available, is very unlikely with the facts we have. At the very BEST scenario for this GM team, they stand to make maybe a grand or two in the first month. Even if they make 5k (and that's being extremely generous and assuming it's all only going to 1 person), really, what is that kind of money today? Is it really worth the trouble of going through all this?
Why should I fear Death? If Death is,
I am not, if I am, Death is not. So why
should I fear that which can only exist if
I do not?
