 WoW got over 11 million subs and probably more now when WotLK has been released. If you think WoW sucks, fine, but you are denying the reality my friend. Numbers speak for themselves.

 


 

The Backstreet Boys album Millenium sold 40 million copies. So I guess that means the Backstreet boys are one of the best bands of all time right?

So moral of this financial adventure:

- Azrile can't pull magic numbers from his ***.

- Funcom is profitable. The game is far from dieing and only improving.

- WoW still sucks.

You think I pulled numbers from my butt?

have you looked at Funcoms 3Q numbers?  They are the ones that are admitting pulling 6M from their butts, and probably another 1-2M from Box sales from the 2nd quarter.

Funcom was profitable for 3 months,   IF you count the magic $6M AND you count the box sales from the 2nd quarter.

If you look at the last 6 months, No matter how much funcom cheated, they still weren't profitable.  They lost more money in the second quarter then they made in the 3Q (with their bogus accounting).

They were barely profitable in the 3Q with the bogus numbers giving them 18M in sales.   They are expecting 9M in sales in the 4Q.  Do you think they will be profitable with 9M in sales if they were barely profitable with 18M?

If the q3 report looks so good then why is their stock still tanking? As of right now, its close to yet another all time low. Something just doesnt add up.

Ironic isn't it? you are replying on the topic where the OP also pulled the subscription numbers right out of his *** and than disappeared. You are arguing about others doing the same but you forget the title of this topic. Really ironic.

Beatles sold twice that, guess they are one of the best bands of all time right? Oh wait.

The Beatles never had an album that sold 40 million copies.  So The Back Street Boy's Millenium album is better than any  Beatles album right?

His point was that the betales have sold hundreds of millions of copies, unless you didnt get it.  Oh sorry you only understand your idiotic analogies.

For their genre yes it does. I may not like them or their genre but success speaks for itself. Same for Michael Jackson. Same for the Beatles. The same holds true for anyone who is sucessful at what they do. You don't become successful by sucking. Unless of course that IS what you're sucessful at.

Even sandboxes have fundamental rules such as; "Don't eat the cat poop, you'll die."
