NCsoft financial report

http://global.ncsoft.com/global/ir/earnings.aspx?BID=&BC=&BNo=&SYear=&SType=&SWord=&PNo=4 First quarter financial report for NCsoft is out and only Aion was up in sales(monetization change in Korea). Biggest drop was GW2. This quarter still had some expansion sales but obviously not a lot. Atleast they still have cell phones to keep them afloat but even thats dropping fast.

    Yet, in terms of sales, GW2 is still doing better than most of their catalog. But yeah, sales dropped some on most games.

    Lineage 1 is still going strong. It's their top game.

    Have a look again Blade and Soul is their biggest earner but they all look lackluster compared to the mobile segment its over double the combined MMO's income. Also GW2's eventual capitulation to standard xpacs shows what a good move it was probably saved the game.

    One of the more amazing phenomenons in MMORPG gaming. 

    Considering its not even available in the west, it's success is almost unique.

    Is it really though? With classic online games, there is often a powerful sunk cost fallacy at work. It's part of the reason why reigning genre champions like World of Warcraft and League of Legends are so indomitable. Why play a new game when one has already sunk many dollars and hours into their current one, afterall?

    I despise NCsoft because they let bots ruin their games however you got to give them credit for staying profitable. 

    my opinion about cell phone games is that they are uber shallow cash grabs hence i don't play any phone games. Also, given their portability, you can waste so much time on them whereas with a PC game, you have to be relatively free to use it.

    L1 still offers one of the best open world pvp ever made.

    I have a feeling the announcement that Wildstar is shutting down will come this year.
