Well, me and Devito are waiting in the queue and decided that Blizzard is a bunch of cocksuckers.

Ok, we were crunching some numbers about how much Blizzard potentially makes.

10,000,000 x 15 x 12 (10mil subscribers at $15 a month for 12 months) This is assuming they've maintained this for the last 12 months

9,000,000 x 15 x 12 (10mil subscribers at $15 a month for 12 months) This is assuming they maintained the 9 million they claimed all throughout last years numerous commercials containing celebrities

7,000,000 x 15 x 24 (7mil subscribers at $15 a month for 12 months) This was a guesstimate because we aren't too sure how many they had for 2 years before the 9mil claims.

That equals $5,940,000,000 from subscriptions only. Now, assuming that 7 million were on before TBC (the first expansion), they had to purchase TBC for $39 and then Lich King (new expansion) for $39, and an initial $49 for the game.

Those 7 million paid $889,000,000 for the game and the subsequent expansions.

Assuming the extra 2 million from when TBC came out aid $70 for the game plus the expansion (could possibly be $80, but I am beign generous)

$140,000,000

For the 1 million extra, assuming they joined after Lich King, they paid $80 for everything.

$80,000,000

So, over the last 4 years including game purchases and subscription fees, Blizzard has raked in over $7,049,000,000.

This does not include the $25 server transfer fees, $10 name change fees, or $25 faction changes. So, we could be looking at close to $7.5 or even $8,000,000,000 in the last 4 years from World of Warcraft. This also doesn't include inactive accounts, so it could potentially be even higher.

Yayyyy... 1390 in queue

This has been something we have talked about for so long and why activisions stock is so low I will never know, especially when NCsofts korean stock is almost at $80.
