Not to mention these are effectively infinitely replicating goods. You only have to pay for the design and engineering of the product. Manufacture cost is virtually 0. They're never going to run out of mounts, or skins, or anything like that. The profit margin on items like these is second to none.

The value isn't equivalent either. Money which is trapped in WoW or Blizzard's store is far less valuable because software doesn't cost anything to manufacture. They didn't take a loss by giving you their virtual money, so you didn't "get that money back" by receiving currency from them.

@Slashresto The bank takes around 5% per transaction. Nobody incurs a loss because of banking fees. That's just a completely absurd notion. Not to mention, you are wrong about development costs. They are irrelevant to the transaction. Blizzard is going to pay developers the same whether 1 person buys a token or 1 billion people buy tokens.

@@cptdudebro I will never understand why people like you think doubling down makes you look smart instead of incredibly stupid.

@ddenozor That doesn't matter. Do you honest-to-God believe that Blizzard spends $15 per month per person hosting their servers? The profit margin for subs increases as more people play the game, because they only have to pay a flat fee to host those servers. So if you have to pay $1000 per month to host those servers (just pulling a random number out of my ass as an example), you would only need about 70 people to break even. Any subs you make after that is pure profit.
