SWTOR Dead, EA Counts Cancelled Accounts in Subscription Numbers
« on: May 09, 2012, 08:07:11 AM »
TOR went from 1.7 to 1.3 million subscriptions:
http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20120507006548/en/Electronic-Arts-Reports-Q4-FY12-FY12-Financial

Except in the conference call EA said the 1.3 million number includes people on a free month, and people who cancelled their account but have a free month active for hitting level 50.

Speculation is that the number could be as low as 500k.

It was in the conference call Q&A. People are ripping EA to shreds over it in the comments on the Massively article:
http://massively.joystiq.com/2012/05/07/star-wars-the-old-republic-has-1-3-million-active-subs-new-con/

Someone in the Q&A asked them to break down the numbers and thats when the free month thing came out.

Thats so fucking distinguished mentally-challenged :lol

The math geek in me immediately laughed at him saying if:

subs - 25% = y then
y + 25% = subs

thats so fucking wrong, then I read the 350% thing and lost it :lol

Manabyte, you've got your MMO thread for stuff like this.  The game isn't dead or canceled. Another case of your spastic hyperbole, spilling out lies into the main page.

Is it too much to ask you to control yourself?
