25$ for a model... which doesn't even have a texture on most of its surface. :lol:

You know I actually respect Blizzard (or whoever came up with the idea) for this thing. I mean $500,000 an hour is impressive. What is more impressive is the fact that the money was made with little or no effort. I mean come on...

That's not sad. That's the beauty of it. That just proves there are millions of dumbfucks who will pay for any crap. Just gotta come up with something that the sheeple will pay for when I finish college. :)

Really respect to be able to make that much money without any effort at all. 25$ for a spiderweb game or kotc ? no way man too expensive, pay 50$ for a game , no way we will just not remove it from an inventory as you say proudly , but then they come in drove to buy a wow mount...

You're clearly the type of person Blizzard catered for with the expansions. WoW is (was?) a fucking kids' game. We were kids playing it. We were up to 4AM most days, barely had any school cuz we were (most of us) on last term in high school (swedish equivalent). Then the game got popular, got new types of players and Workin' Joe and Family wanted in on the super popular game and Workin' Joe thought "why are all these little non-employed virgin 13-yearolds more powerful than me what is this shit I'll have you know I work 8-9 and got kids and I DEMAND AS A PAYING CUSTOMER THAT BLIZZARD GIVE ME STUFF WITHOUT ME PUTTING ANY EFFORT INTO IT because this is just a fucking GAME and I'll have you know!!!"

I just played the game because I enjoyed it not because I derived some sense of accomplishment from it. The only 'effort' required of WoW either then or now is simply time.

I think we can all agree that just playing MMOGs is pretty pathetic so I don't see why you even jumped onto that subject.

Actually I don't agree with that at all. I find it hilarious lots of people here find it necessary to denounce certain types of games when they just play another type of game. I don't see why a guy who plays an MMO is inferior to some guy who replays Fallout forty-eight times, often one-handed while he jerks off in the other. WoW is a fun game that has its flaws and I don't feel the urge to bash it to join the club and cash in some Kodex Kool Kids points.

Two million dollars in four hours.

Twelve million dollars per unit of day.

4.38 billion dollars per annum, earned in four hours.

The yearly rate is completely irrelevant.

Wrong. It's the fact that someone that sad works for a company and that company gets a tax break for hiring someone so fucking retarded.

So this is what 2 minutes with a texture program or whatever game artists use can do ...damn, but that IS pretty fucking impressive. Whoever thought of that, must have gotten a hell of a raise. :respect:

I gotta say, I really admire the business program over at Activision. Bob Koteck has really managed to find a great way to make cash for the company.

Actually many Asian MMOs have been like this for a long long time.

It's not that the players are "stupid" either, when you think that the majority of people love fashion. There's a more fitting word for it, what's it called?

People don't stand in huge queues to buy the same same dress/pants/shirt because that would be stupid. Fashion is all about wearing something that nobody else has so that you are unique.
