Maybe worldwide all publishers of maplestory make more money then WoW, but even though Maple makes more, on average, per person then WoW, I figured WoW is by far the more popular game. According to quick google search there are 10 million + WoW subsricbers, that is.... 15 a month * 10mil = 150 mil a month * 12 = 1.8 bil a year... I might believe it if the profitted more from MS then WoW did, but that'd be because of the whole "horrible/short staffed customer service" in my opinion. So how much income(not straight profit) does Maple make per year? Is it over 1.8 billion?
Don't expect real answers anytime soon. Nexon annual reports are annoyingly difficult to find. Just because their PR says they make such and such amount of money doesn't mean it's real earnings. Keep in mind accounting tricks let companies look like they made more than they really did.
