For example: how much money the company of everquest next will gain after about 1-2 years after the release?

And in general, all those mmo games that are out there, do they realy make alot of money? and when I say alot, I mean millions.

Thanks.

There's really no good way to predict this.

Everyone who tries to make a major MMO is hoping to make millions of dollars, because it costs millions to produce the game in the first place. However, many MMOs don't break even, and some fail entirely without recouping their costs (or barely making a small profit before shutting down).

If it was easy to predict what an MMO would make, fewer of them would be failures, because people could recognize a failure before it happened and just not make that game.


That said: any publicly traded company is required to publish its financials. This is a great way to learn how much money a game makes.
