Is Warcraft the Worlds Biggest Company?
World of Warcraft is obviously the world’s biggest MMORPG but could it be bigger than some Fortune 500 businesses. With WoW bringing in over $400 Billion in 2007 it can be compared to some of the most powerful and largest companies in the world. Some find it silly for World of Warcraft to be put in the same league as oil giants such as Shell, and ExxonMobil. but now that the gaming industry is a multi-billion dollar industry it may not be nonsense at all. Even though playing World of Warcraft requires a monthly fee of 15 dollars it is easy for the average player to make money by selling their high level characters and even rare virtual items on popular sites such as eBay and iOffer. The virtual community will only continue to grow and the wealth of Blizzard entertainment will only continue to prosper.
