Blizzard ($)

Average worldwide price of a Wow subscription is 10$.

Price of a subscription is a lot lower in China and on top of that Blizzard uses a third party to host the servers and provide support, that third party pays them a fee out of the money it collects...

So worldwide revenue is more around 110 million$/month.

One thing not to forget is that there are huge costs associated with those revenue ( except the Chinese ones due to third party taking on the costs).

In the end I would be surprised if the profit per player was above 4$, it's probably less....

Profit of course peaks when expansion are released though...

 

 

By your logic of them only making $4 per player you saying that it costs them $70 million a month to run WoW in costs (you said it costs on average $10 per player and there are 11 million of them). No way is this possible, just last month blizzard stated that they have spent $200 million on total costs for WoW since the game launched.
