12 million subscribers at $15 USD a month.. quite a nice chunk of change..

although the company that owns blizzard [vivendi] is such a massive company in itself that blizzard and WoW are a minuscule part of it's earnings even with those type of numbers, pretty crazy

Everquest was better than WoW ever has been/will be, and there will be no mmorpg that will ever be better than EQ because of what WoW has turned them into.

is it safe to assume they'll release sc2 by xmas of 2010? wasn't beta supposed to be out this year haha we're 15 days away from the new year.

People who got Alpha / Beta code from Blizzcon 2008 in anaheim

all have registered for the SC2 test

just waiting for them to actually release that.

World of Warcraft's the ShiT! :thumbup:

I'm pretty sure I've done this comparison before...but I might as well bring it up again. Also, the amount of time the Average WoW player puts in compared to the Average COD player puts in is going to be hugely different.

13 million users on Xbox live; probably paying for a one year subscription at $59.99 (Current price @ Futureshop.com)--> Yearly Revenue of $779,870,000.00

Compared to WoW; 14 million users paying $39.99/2 months, or $239.94 per year. Yearly Revenue of $3,359,160,000.

Keep in mind that this is VERY VERY basic math and doesn't take into account any of the operating expenses, but that's a pretty big difference.

EDIT--> I recall reading some where on a press release from Blizzard that SC2 Beta is coming next year, possibly in the Fall.
