OK something just struck me right in the face. DESPITE GW, GW2, Lineage and Aion all having MUCH higher numbers of players than CoH individually, never mind collectively, CoH all by it's itty-bitty self was responsible for HALF THE US INCOME.
/em boggle.
Don't want to sound like a downer here, but are you sure your're not comparing apples and oranges?
By that I mean: We know Paragon was doing R&D on future games (that are now dead), so the actual income CoH generated varies depending on if you count that R&D cost against it or not
Is there any chance that the other games (GW, GW2, etc) are also funding a lot of R&D that would make their income seem lower?
I.E., if we say Paragon was making ~$10mil/year not counting R&D costs, and GW/CG2/whatever also making ~$10mil/year COUNTING their R&D costs, its' not a fair comparison.
Again, not trying to be a downer, just want to be sure there any math errors are caught here, rather than by a reporter or something like that.
