GameSpot). Perhaps surprisingly, the top earner

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

I'm surprised that GW2 isn't on the list. But then, they make most of their money on box sales (not sure if that matters or not)
It's a weird graphic - very little information to go on other than a number. And, with World of Warcraft being on the list, it makes me wonder. Maybe it's there just so you have a sense of scale...
Maybe they didn't cooperate, ArenaNet is weird sometimes.
Yeah. Plus, I just noticed there was an article to go along with it which explains WoW's inclusion. Makes for a misleading list, since that number is only microtransactions for WoW. I'd be interested to see how WoW stacks up with it's subscriber revenue included.
That a subscription game managed to sell that much micro transaction crap is pretty amazing. Kudos to Blizzard I reckon.
