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

Getting info from public companies is pretty easy but Valve is a private entity doesn't disclose any of it's earnings for anything other than a few vague references. How do they know what CS and TF2 are earning?
Getting data from public companies isn't pretty easy. They aggregate.
SuperData is a market research company. There are hundreds of them out there. Their job is to do research into different markets and come up with numbers. It will start with the size of the market, then drill down.
It's all estimates, because it's impossible to actually know figures unless every company involved gives them to you, and no company would ever reveal that, public or private.
This company is claiming they receive data on nearly 3 million monthly customers directly from publishers, but I highly doubt that.
