Study: America spent $3.8 billion on MMOs in 2009

According to this, if every single person in the UK played an MMO, they would have spent $.22 Also, if every single person in the US played an MMO, they would have spent $1.2.

Nothing disgusting about that. Grow up.

Perfect response mcgowan.

@Mcgowan

I dont see how that makes it anyless disgusting especially when you also take into account the amount of people in the respective places

Zefur,

Why are you so negative towards these figures? Would you be calling these figures disgusting if it was FPS instead of MMOs?

Why is that disgusting? Some people enjoy playing an MMO and it's actually much more expensive to buy even one new game per month.

FPS arent totally my thing i just started getting them and yes it would still be disgusting ther is a big difference between paying a subscription to play a game you have bought or paying for non existant items which dissapear over a certain amount of time that does nothin other then make your character look different to a majority of players and buying a map pack.

I am negative to these figures because it is showing how much money is being thrown away (not so much the subscription mostly the virtual money and microtransactions)

Disgustingly profitable that is!

Good. Now please give us a next gen MMO that's better than WoW. One with full voice acting and player housing. Then I'll dedicate 90% of my gaming time to it like I did with WoW for 4-5 years.

Until then, consoles FTW.

FFXIV may be here this year, if we're lucky. :)

Yes.
