I swear so many people are just too stupid...also dont forget all the inflated subs during the $5 box set for raf's etc...
WoD had what, 10million subs at one point? Let's assume it sold at least 10million copies (probably more, too lazy to look).
Here's some simple math with all the zeros.
10,000,000 x $50 (assuming no one bought the collector's edition @ $89.99 or something - not the case...) = $500,000,000
+
wod average subs is around let's say 4 million (low ball) and the average cost of a month is $14 (i think it's as low as $11.99 or something, up to $20 if you pay with gold)
4,000,000 x 10 x $14 = $560,000,000
WoD lowball earnings not including any micro transactions: $1,060,000,000 or for you obvious fucking morons, over 1 billion dollars in 1 year.
The game isn't dying, they are making money hand over fist with barely any effort.
That's right, cause companies only make profit, there is no cost to run a company.
So they make this "1 Billion" every, what... three years?
Blizzard merged with Activision back during BC days. The merger cost quite a bit, if not billions. However, it was speculated to grow their income by 94%
Activision doesn't give a shit about blizzard's rep, just the money they can make them.
Game is definitely dying, as in losing majority of it's old and newer player base. I doubt it will ever die completely, but their profits will suffer greatly. Especially with them pumping out random shit to keep their current player base busy.
