$100m a year is clearly crazy money, but it's not quite at the scale of WoW yet.
World of Warcraft subscribers have been declining steadily for the last couple years [1], but they still have ~9.1 million subscribers.
The least a subscriber can pay is by buying in 6-month increments, which is 12.99 a month [2].
So, even though they're making less money than ever, 9.1 million subscribers at 12.99 per month is 1.4 Billion a year.
