Wait to see how much it will cost you to develop a can opener...

80% the countries will go bankrupt instantly over the amount i had to pay

We're looking at £ 8.712.000

If you count in inflation, that would be £ 996.217.200 in today's money, or close to a billion.

The costs of many events wouldn't be that bad, if they weren't enforced for 5 whole years. I hope they rebalance it.

oh i got that event not long before that. i just went with "let them figure it out" and increased their salary to compensate for the IG support

I agree, 1-2 years (the length for other events) might be more reasonable

I'd love more choices:

• 80% of the costs if you pay upfront
• 100% of the costs if you stretch it over 2 years
• 120% of the costs if you stretch it over 5 years

It's ridiculous how many events punish you with severe costs over 5 years.
