wow, that is HUGE. I mean think about it: 5000 downloads / day => 360*5000 = 1,800,000 downloads (of course there were probably MUCH more downloads when this pack released, but anyway) 1,800,000 downloads * 7.5 USD (600 points = 7.5USD; I guess it was more expensive in its early days) = 13,500,000 USD revenue for a freaking map pack. I guess there were like 3,000,000 downloads, because most of the players bought it straight after the release. I calculated they sold as many packs on the first day as they do now, one year after release. And If I remember right, it was 800Points at first (10 dollars instead of 7.5). The revenue of this pack is probably more than $30,000,000! Do I have a brain-lag or is this possible? It seems to much for me, but I can't find out where my mistake could be. |
If those numbers are even in the ballpark, then revenue from just the Heroic (when they still charged for it) and Legendary map packs was enough to cover development of the entire game, and probably a good chunk of marketing. No wonder they still want to support the game and release maps for it!
