Blizzard's revenue

In case you were curious how much gold.... err.. money vivendi games managed to make last year, you'll be happy to know that they produced a revenue of €1 Billion. €1.000.000.000, about $1.48 bln. A staggering amount. And 80% of that is from Blizzard's division, mainly World of Warcraft. Not surprising when there are 10 million subscribers worldwide, each paying an average of €10 per month. I guess we all contributed to that nicely. Original CD 40 + TBC 40 + 3*12*12 : 432. They got about €500 from me so far. Still, it's a cheaper hobby than gambling, collectible card games, or getting drunk every weekend, that's for sure.

    Sorry for posting here, but I couldn't find an email address.

    Could you provide either a full text rss feed or at least a longer preview of each post? Your posts are interesting but the current preview is way too short. Thank you!

    Blogger limits short feeds to 255 characters.
    I've set it to full, and added it to feedburner.
