Club Penguin and RuneScape post far higher profits than World of Warcraft? Does somebody have a source for that? Based on a quick Google search it's estimated Blizzard makes about $100m a year off WoW after costs. I can't imagine free MMOs matching that unless they have paid memberships that offer all the stuff people actually want, which doesn't really count as a "free MMO" anymore
- nazgulnarsil 18y agoseems like it should be higher. if even 10% of subscriptions are active accounts that's 180 million a year. doesn't seem like it should cost 6.6 million a month plus to run the servers and pay staff.
- 13ren 18y agoI'm pretty sure they mean ROI: profit/investment. Which is profit normalized for investment. It enables the profitability of different-sized businesses to be compared.
