I suspect a lot of people buy any MMO, level a character or two and then bounce. So I don't find this that surprising. Also, 2 million copies probably equals much more than 60 especially considering digital downloads where they get a much higher percentage of the sale price. Also, I wonder how many of those subscribers bought more than 1 month?

considering 1.7 million active subscriptions... I'd say awhile.

To everyone calling BS, you know if EA were to lie about something like this in their quarterly filing they would get ripped a new one by the SEC. Yeah, since that whole Enron thing, the SEC hasn't been very cool with misleading financials. Also, EA is audited by a big four accounting firm so I'm sure this number has been reviewed as it has important implications on forward looking portions of EA's financial statements. (Ex big four auditor)

Hilarious.

Apparently you are skipping your writing class to play.

They probably know more than you considering NPR pays them for their opinion. Hmmmmm NPR > Random forum opinion.

One of my guild mates told me to avoid MMO forums at all cost and that there are "cesspools.". Good advice, but I read this forum more for amusement than anything else.

This.

Or the greatest testament that you need another hobby. It's pathetic.

MMO's version of "sharp knees."

Also, as an American, I just want to say we didn't really save the British in WW 2. They kind of did that themselves with the RAF and the battle of Britian. Now for the rest of Europe... That's a different story.

I think they should make use of the Pikey accent more often personally.

The fact that you can't wait until the 17th is what is unbelievable. Why would they break out part of a patch to be pushed to a server separately now? If you knew anything about projects or devolpment you wouldn't ask such a dumb question. Seriously, I can't describe what type of mental defect would force you to complain about such a thing.

Didn't they just announce it's coming out on the 17th?

Pwnt!
