Pearl Abyss and their MMORPG Black Desert Online are enjoying the success in the global market. The company's CEO Kyung In Jung announced the revenue in the first half of 2017 hit another record high with 64.8 billion KRW, or $57.3 million USD. That has exceeded the sales of the entire 2016, 62.2 billion KRW or $55 million USD.

    Indeed.  They suck for us gamers, though.

    Here's a chart showing the point when Rockstar started using microtransactions:

    Regarding the upcoming SEA server will Pearl Abyss handle its publishing here at our region?

    Around $50 million isn't that impressive for a popular global mmorpg on the first half of the year. It's actually a bit disappointing considering the level of quality this game displays. By comparison, Gravity Interactive made the same amount by repackaging Ragnarok Online as a mobile game.

    Is that total revenue of BDO or just the portion that PA got?

    Because they've added a shitload of FREE content to GTA V. Hell, probably more than many MMO's out there.

    My SWTOR referral link for those wanting to give the game a try. (Newbies get a welcome package while returning players get a few account upgrades to help with their preferred status.)
