I get you point...but i doubt that they sold anywhere close to 40m units of the game.40 million players kicking in a $20-$40 initial fee, still needs lootboxes just to keep the lights on for those tiny indie devs at blizzard

Yes, half the player base is in Asia where the business model is different.I get you point...but i doubt that they sold anywhere close to 40m units of the game.

But that's what, thousands of people? Tens of thousands of people at best? Millions aren't double dipping.The amount of players that buy multiple copies of this game is really high. Heck, a lot of youtubers buy new games just to make trick shot videos on easier targets.

I haven't played since Ana was released. The matchmaking and balancing of the teams was terrible so I gave it up and traded the game in.
Have those things gotten better?
CoD, WoW, Candy Crush and Overwatch make up 2/3 of Activision Blizzards Revenue. OI is even higher percentage.Still not even close to the 70 million of the money printing machine Hearthstone.
I think more likely they'll bring back every skin each anniversary, but stop doing the past skins during each event thing, but even more likely both. I wouldn't worry about not getting the skins you want in the future tbh - they're 'free' money when they're made available again.They didn't say but it really feels like this is the last chance to get those event skins.
If you found it to be that bad back then, I doubt you'll like it now.
You know that game is free, right?Still not even close to the 70 million of the money printing machine Hearthstone.

40m paid customers >>>> 70m free downloads
Pretty sure PSN and XBL cost money.40 mil players doesn't equal 40 mil paying customers though. Smurf characters are rife in this game and it costs nothing on console.
The games mmr does make it harder for anything more than duos to climb for some reason but no issues with solo q and solo q is generally the best way to climb.The game itself wasn't bad. I just hated that the game intentionally tried to keep people's winning percentages at around 50% and every match was either a blowout or we crushed them. My friends and I only ever had a handful of close games.

We could never get a streak going and it drove us mad.
No it does not cost any money, I have 3 accounts on ps4Pretty sure PSN and XBL cost money.
I believe there's pathetic shitty players that pay two subs per year because they can't do well at their own skill level, I just don't believe it makes up a significant portion of 40m.
Didn't even think of this possibility. But yup.
And they easily made it back and more with people buying boxes. You've got people here proudly boasting about buying the $40 option every damn event.I get you point...but i doubt that they sold anywhere close to 40m units of the game.
There's a free weekend coming up, have a try and see what you think!I haven't played since Ana was released. The matchmaking and balancing of the teams was terrible so I gave it up and traded the game in.

sounds like we are getting a expansion at blizzcon. only question is what are they selling in it? given their promise not to sell heros/maps it makes me wounder. I guess we will find out at blizzcon.They didn't say but it really feels like this is the last chance to get those event skins.

Not in the slightest but I love the lore and game so much it's hard to quit:/I haven't played since Ana was released. The matchmaking and balancing of the teams was terrible so I gave it up and traded the game in.
