Not that it will change how you feel, but the money for Conan Exiles came from an outside group of investors for the express purpose of creating a new game (CE). So while I'm sure they made use of the same Dev's etc.... F/C didn't divert any AoC money for CE.
We can only hope that as F/C has done in the past; some of the money that CE is making (they've already recouped the initial investment) will make it's way to AoC.
