Vivendi is a big ol' company, what we're going to focus on is their Vivendi Games division which earned €119 million for the first half of their 2007 fiscal year, which is a
91.9% increase from last year. All you need to know about this growth, despite
growth being the industry standard lately -- unless you're
Atari, is that it has so much to do with
World of Warcraft it's not even funny. Although Vivendi Games used the very conservative term of "continued momentum" to describe the phenomenon of
WoW --
9 million people hittin' the pipe and handing over around $15 a month to play the game creates fiscal magic and sweet snuggle love to the company's bottom line.
Beyond the games division, Vivendi saw a 10.6% increase in earning over last year, around €2.6 billion. Don't expect
WoW to stop making money for Vivendi.
Wrath of the Lich King is the expansion many
WoW players have been waiting for and the game continues to grow its user base years after release.
