Can someone explain to me why sub numbers are such a black box affair in the gamign industry? You'd think that it would be something that investors would want to know in some kind of financial statement.
Sure investors would want to know, but really, the actual number of subs doesn't matter for shit as a raw number. It's only good for circle-jerking on forums or impressing VC who have no clue about the MMOG business other that "WOW HAS 10 MILLION SUBS!" Its a meaningless number by itself. It needs to be compared to things like operating costs. Every MMOG has a set number of subscribers that is their break even point. Anything above that is success, below that is failure. And all those numbers need to be charted over time. Raw sub numbers are just numbers without context. He had donations up and people actually gave him money? People on the Internet will pay for any-fucking-thing. |
