With a successful franchise with a large following like Elderscrolls it would be hard NOT to make that money back even if the game is terrible. At $15 a month if they only manage to secure a million users for a year that alone equates to $180 million. So even a flop for elderscrolls is likely to come out profitable within 1-2 years of launch. Many MMO's only require a few hundred thousand subscribers to remain profitable, obviously something as big as WoW or Elderscrolls will need a lot more than that but the numbers add up very quickly for even a moderately successful MMO. |
Agreed.
