Look at them.. World of Warcraft.. I bet billons of dollars come in every month.

They are taking their sweet little time while every pre ordered SC Ghost.

Everyone Pre Ordered SC Ghost w/o even knowing what its like.

If its crap I'm gonna laugh.

I doubt these are blizzard employees, i bet their wannabe nerds that spend their time trying to talk 1337 when they don't got the azn skills.
Assuming WoW has 2mil subscribers ( I think thats what it just hit a while back. Something like that ) -- figure that its 15$ per account per month. Thats only 30mil in 1 month. Granted, that's alot. Now, figure in they have over 100 servers. Each server costs (from what I've heard of DAoC) roughly 25k a month to maintain.

2,500,000 into server maintance assuming they had 100 servers a month. Thats a lot. Now, figure all the money the need to spend to keep people on the WoW project, and the gms.

Chances are, they bankroll about 5-10m a month off it. It's not that bad, but they also don't just let that money sit and collect up to nothing.

Granted for a major company like them need all kinds of money...

I mean, come on, why not make DiabloIII, they'de just make more money off it.
