| Well, I wish I had taken notes on this. But recently, it was reported in a magazine article (Wired? One of those online ones?) where a Linden said that yes, they were profitable.
(I could find it probably if I looked hard, and I will probably try later.)
Then before that, a year or two ago, Philip said in the audio version of a Town Hall that they were "very close" to having the investors all paid off, and that the "game itself" (or similar words) was profitable all along.
In other words, that by itself, it would be perfectly profitable, but they had been paying off the investors.
Then, a couple of months later, he or someone else said they had been paid off, but I can't remember who or where it was said.
(I'm always assuming everyone always reads these various things, but they don't, and it would behoove me to realize that and keep notes.)
The recent article, though, saying that they were profitable - I should be able to find that again.
So my guess is they have been profitable for at least a year.
