I’ve heard this statistic thrown around a lot, it’s hilariously wrong if you take even 5 seconds to actually think about it.
40% of players in wow have celestial steed (https://www.dataforazeroth.com/collections/mounts)
Lets be generous and assume everyone with the steed got it from the shop (they didn’t but just for demonstration) with an estimated peak subscriber count of 12 million that’s 4,800,000 sparkly ponies sold at 15 bucks a pop. Blizzard themselves have reported that The Starcraft series has generated over $1,000,000,000 of revenue as of 2017 (https://investor.activision.com/static-files/bbfd4b49-bf78-40bd-aefe-3467f211844b).
idk about you, but 72 million seems like a MUCH smaller figure than 1 billion. Clearly a disgruntled developer mad because his personal contribution of all of his effort was less than a horse.
