2013's Top Free-to-Play Games [Jan 20, 2014, 10:39 am ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
SuperData Research offers their accounting of the worldwide top 10 grossing
free-to-play games for all of 2013 (thanks
GameSpot). Perhaps surprisingly, the top earner
on their list came pretty close to $1 billion in revenue. Here's what they
report:
- Crossfire, $957 million
- League of Legends, $624 million
- Dungeon Fighter Online $426 million
- World of Tanks, $372 million
- Maplestory, $326 million
- Lineage I, $257 million
- World of Warcraft, $213 million
- Star Wars: The Old Republic, $139 million
- Team Fortress 2, $139 million
- Counter-Strike Online, $121 million
O....M...G! I had no idea these free to play games generated so much money. I mean look at Team Fortress lets say it cost maybe 15 million to make, over the years it's probably generated half a BILLION in weapons, gadgets, & stupid hats. If I was a game publisher, why would I make a single stand alone title like "Watch Dogs" that probably cost 100 million to make when I can have a long term revenue stream like a free to play MMO....Crazy
