Star Wars: The Old Republic needs to sur or even approach those sorts of numbers in order to be profitable. 162s3u
During a conference call yesterday EA CFO Scott Brown talked about the number of subscribers BioWare’s MMO Star Wars: The Old Republic need to be profitable – and according to his comments on a recent conference call: it’s 500,000.
“”At half a million subscribers, it’s a very profitable business.””
Tackling MMO — especially one carrying the Star Wars name.
Brown had previously said that day it ships, which still hasn’t been confirmed.
Even if the venerable real cash similar to what Blizzard has done with World of Warcraft, and you’ve got yourself a few hundred million more bucks to put in the corporate till.
My best guess is that BioWare and Old Republic fail, so lets hope it has the chops to retain the subscribers it needs.
