Blizz wird die nächsten Jahre erstmal schön heathstone heros und overwatch melken
D3 sold 20 mil copies, @ $40 per copy that's $800 mil. Hearthstone brings in $20 mil/month, and in 17 months (doubt that the first year brought in 20 mil per month, but I'll let it slide) we have $340 mil. Granted, Diablo III it's a more expensive game, has a bigger team, but we also didn't added up the AH profit, which I presume closes up to the sales made in Hearthstone, so D3 is a big whale for Blizzard, that's for sure. WoW makes a lot more, and yet they still make time consuming expensive triple A games that vary in how much money they bring in, so comparing them from a profit stance of view makes no sense whatsoever. Some games will always pull in more money than others, because some genres automatically take in more customers/players. Since D3 is the tenth best selling games of all times, with around 30 mil copies sold across platforms, it's safe to assume that as long as they make some profit on it, they will continue to develop and improve it, just because the pressure is so great to do so. We also know from the Chinese version that some kind of micro transaction system is tested and implemented into the game, and the game itself is made with this in mind. Notice the WoW like limitations, like character slots, stash space (which is too small for them to ignore it UNLESS it will be a pay option, therefore they avoid talking about it until then) and customization/cosmetics options that already exist in the game, makes it at least 50% there in terms of micro transaction implementation.
und 20mil sind nur für pc
