What is sad is that 6 of the 12 platinum games rated by top revenue are free to play games - so must be making money on micro transactions. Sad that model works so well for extracting cash out of players.
Yup.
I'm surprised to see Destiny up there, considering how good Bungie are at playing the small violin of "We are but a humble small studio, ye cannot expect us to keep up with the big boys! 'tis why we have not been able to ship new pvp maps for so long! The paaaaain! We are forced fire a bushel if employees if ye will not spendeth more!"
The thing about live service is that it's also a money-vacuum, they need to be making loads of money to keep themselves going.
