DCUO Vs. CO. Vs. COH
« on: October 08, 2012, 11:05:09 PM »
In the terms of the SuperHero MMO - is there a way to find out which of these is the most profitable?  Which has more subscriptions?

It would be difficult, to say the least. All three games were free-to-play since November of last year (when DCUO went F2P) and since then, hard and fast numbers on subscribers are hard to come by and mean little in any case.

Game companies generally treat those numbers as right below nuclear launch codes in terms of level of secrecy required, in part to prevent comparisons such as you are looking to make, so it can be difficult to find decent info... and definitive numbers are pretty much unheard of these days.

With that said, between the occasional PR release, the errant footnote in quarterly shareholder reports, etc., it is possible to make the occasional educated guess about such things on certain product lines.  Once upon a time (a few years ago), there was a game design blogger who made it their quest to suss out such info.  It looks like mmocharts.com is gone, but mmodata.net is a possible resource.  The latest graphs don't have much recent info on any of the products above, but the site owner may have additional info, contacts, or resources that could be tapped.
