[citation][nom]memadmax[/nom]Kartu, you know nothing...WoW is only 6 and a half years old... 11 million(supposedly) at its peak @ $15 a month = 165,000,000 a month * 12 months = 1,980,000,000 * 6 years = 11,880,000,000.....and of course... blizzard never says how many subs they truely have... rumors and speculation are based off of so called WoW census data... which is inaccurate...[/citation]
Actually your math is wrong.
Half of WoW's subs half been in Asia with roughly a third of all subs in China. Asia pays a different type of sub scheme as they pay as they play and that comes out to a lot less than $15/mo. In China, Blizzard makes even less and has to split that with Netease who runs WoW in China.
Even in a lot of other regions they don't make $15/mo. Brazillian players pay about $8/mo. So overall, much less than half pays what you think they do.
