Isn't a lot of PC gaming revenue coming from LoL? lol


Doubt it, I am pretty sure Steam makes way more than they do as League of Legends is a free to play game and I honestly doubt that the majority of people spend a lot of money on it. Some yeah, but most would probably spend $20-$30 a year even if that.

 Also, this from the OP-

DFC says that MOBA (multiplayer online battle arena) titles like League of Legends and DotA 2 “dominate everything else by an order of magnitude in terms of more usage than other products,” followed by MMOs, strategy games, and shooters.

 

Impressive but... I am pretty sure Steam would be somewhere in the billions per year. Their Steam market alone is them doing nothing at all and making money let alone the fact that they have over 75 million accounts on there which i am pretty sure at least have of those would be buying games through out the year.
