Wargaming.net has announced that their popular MMO World of Tanks is is generating 'double-digit' millions per month in profits according to CEO Viktor Kislyi.
"If you count the last year and a half, we might be the fastest growing company ever, headcount wise and revenue wise," said Kislyi, and that, "We probably have one of the highest payment ratios in the industry, it's around 25-30 per cent, because people love the game."
"For casual gameplay which most players do most of the time, people don't usually use gold or expendables," Kislyi said, "Of course if you want to win a tournament, if you're competitive, if you play clan wars, if you want to be at the top, we think it's appropriate to expect a little bit of money from you because you already spent hundreds of hours in our game and that's much more than the value of any $50 box. But it's still a micro transaction game, you would have to be very creative to spend $1000."
