IRE also makes money selling to anyone who creates a MUD using the Rapture Engine that they designed. And it is a very LARGE amount of money.

IRE has many ways to make money, and I assume besides Sim/Gemstone/etc(which really does leech as absolute much money from their players as possible, having an in-game wedding costs over 100 dollars), that IRE brings in the largest profit of any MUDing company.

Unfortunately they do not use that money to better the entire community, which is their right(the right to make a profit). It just puts them at odds with most of the community which just wants to see MUDing as a whole flourish.
