WoW is the suck.. blizz has done their usual mis-management job of spending what pathetically small percentage of money they re-invest into the game on the wrong things.

I wouldn’t expect masses to toss aside WAR for liche king with the anti-buzz that blizzard has been scratching at like a little kid picks a scab. Heck, I hear that in lake wintergrasp you can use a new vehicle to jump a shark.

If they have 1M to 1.25M sellthrough, a sustained base 3 months out below 600K would be underperformance, because of *severe* design and technical problems. Good would be 800K-1M sustained.

But he’s setting a very nice and low baseline for EA to exceed expectations. Just out of curiousity, what did he predict for AoC?

Down to 300k subs 2 months after WoTLK launches.

Hi, if anyone is hiring, I’d like a job similar to Mr. Bhatia. We can just call the job function, “Makin’ stuff up.” I have lots of experience in pulling random numbers out of my ass.

I guess I’m just more picky about my subscription based games than most people. If I buy an MMO I expect to play it beyond the free month. Out of the 4 or 5 MMOs I’ve played, the only one that I never subscribed to was the original Asheron’s call.

Ok, Shadowbane doesn’t count. I never opened the box. It was free. I think I still have it around somewhere. Perhaps that’s a collector’s item…

I imagine as soon as they have numbers to brag about, they will. Not saying their numbers are bad or anything, just saying… it’s been a week, so they probably expect to grow a little bit still.

I’m dying to know the subscription numbers on WAR… I wonder if they’re every going to release some numbers for bragging rights?

Wrong thread! Bah.

Here’s where I meant to say this.

I’ll see your guild, and raise with this, Lum.
