Which is a tactic they always do to hide when something isn't doing as good as investors expect it to be. Last year they combined SWTOR with 2 FIFA games and all digital content sales and one of those FIFA games was the #1 seller of DLC content in gaming. This is something EA did not do for SWTOR in the first quarter of its released because the sales + subs were impressive.
I havent yet met a person who doesnt want exapnsion
Maybe its just their evil tactic to get more juices flowing ;P
But all aside, they launched in China and i have a feeling there might be a surprise soon, they have been awfully silent lately
"Since it was induced in November, we've added more than 1.7 million new players on the free model to the service," Gibeau said. "And the number of subscriptions has stabilized at just under half a million."

so ball parking its >450k subs + 144 million in micro transactions for the year
Still waiting:
how much money has SWTOR "raked in" (as some like to put it) in last quarter?
SWTOR is not making money off the subs not much anyway.I think the micro transaction is where they are making .Due to the model that GW 2 uses it has a lot less ability to make money off the micro transaction. It is doing well but no where close to what SWTOR is making off its model.
I am not saying GW 2 is doing badly it is just not making as much off the micro as that superdata shows clearly.
Stil a lot of hypocrisy going on here... people trying to point out that EA obscures their information...
Do you guys remember when the chinese publisher for gw2 intentionally obscured gw2 stats and tried to make 2.5million total logins per week into 2.5 million unique players per week?
Really?
Come on, share with the rest of the world:
How much money has SWTOR "raked in" in last quarter?
This is getting pointless really.
Do you have official number or not?
Answer to finish it once and for all.
They know it as well, any MMO needs an expansion after about this time and B2P MMOs needs to get in some more box sales. An expansion also tends to bring back old players and bring in new as well.
Bioware, in an article/interview on this very site a few months back, stated that they were second place in the west behind WoW.
Im not saying GW2 isnt doing well, but SWTOR, regardless on how you view it, has more active players.
well then meet you first one.
serious I don't know why you guys are so adamnat about having a paid expansion, as long they keep sending contents like they always do, and making we have things to do in game not only W3 and guild events. also if you guys want to give then more money for tehy work, buy more gems and be done with it.
also its nice someone finally is not trying to milk a game, and a pretty good one.
Yes and Santa is real. Wheter you accept it or not.
To both: Whatever. Never trust a guy in marketing no matter which company he works for.
I have to admit that i have no clue how TOR is doing since it went F2P but the game is still up and that is good.
If I wish for a EA product to die it is Origin, that crap makes Steam seems like a masterpiece.
You mean like the hypocrisy of comparing a company obscuring logins to a company obscuring revenue in a topic you yourself created about revenue directly from the company where they are not doing it?
yeah...mad mad desperation. Did GW2 get you pregnant and leave you or something? Cause it seems like you have some sort of personal vendetta.
EvE is still alive and kicking even with the 21 million loss in 2013.
Granted that the cause of their loss was scrapping World of Darkness, CCP's average yearly revenue is 6.29 million USD (source: https://www.ccpgames.com/media/47002/ccp%202012%20consolidated%20financial%20statements.pdf , Page 5, average of 2010, 2011 and 2012). It could have been 8 million in 2013 if they had not scrapped WoD.
EvE's 2013 revenue was 74 million. Are you saying that they'll be kaput since it doesn't meet the 100 million revenue requirement you presupposed?
So you have offcial EA data on SWTOR.
Please, feel free to share with rest of the world.
What they said in interview/article? rofl, they can say anything they want in that. Unfortunaly you will have to back it up with OFFCIAL EA numbers.
don't remember that, where was that?
I only remember when they had some peak of concurrent players logged in and tweeted about it (somewhere at launch). It was massive number but I don't recall how much it was tho so I'm not gonna type a random number just for the sake of it
Interested to see that one, can you digg it up if you remember where that was published ?

I wish ncsoft showed how much profit gw2 was making... I wish it wasn't obscured...
Here is the thing.....random poster on mmorpg.com says out of nowhere that GW2 is second in the west......I point out that Bioware actually made that claim for SWTOR not too long ago, (keep in mind, NCSoft has not mentioned anything of the sort for GW2)....yet the burden of proof is on ME?
Got it
Ahh, so since you got caught with "revenue" you are now going to inject "profit" to replace it. (that's right, EA doesn't give profit either, just revenue like every other company).
Keep on backpeddling, soon you will be so far back we wont have to put up with your posts for a few days due to your having such a long ride back to your keyboard.
Damn you party breaker!
But, theres so many people willing to buy it ;P
I gave them some money, not nearly as much as sub would be, now that people made me compare what i got in other games for sub (been in MMOs for 12-ish years) i feel a little guilty ;P So i would easily part with money for expansion, no sweat
(along with whatever i put in along the way)
why? serious why you guys care so much about how much a game is getting from his players? are you a investor? williung to buy some NCSoft stocks or something?
thing is who like the game will play the damn game, and unless they close the whole game down it will have people and I never did even remember someone saying about a server merger on GW2, so I can guess it have enough players around, and I can guess they can make more they have to spend.
so tell me serious, you can even pm me to tell the truth, WHY the HELL you care so much on how much a game is making:
I suggest you read a few posts up, its been proven with a link with the CEOs statements that SWTOR is under 500k subs and that the revenue report bundles SWTOR with other games as well as Pogo.com which is an extremely popular sub based site.
