Black Desert Online is a Korean MMO that took 1mil dollars to create and already made 1 bil in returns. Released in NA on 2016 lol.MMOs take so long to make, and require such a large amount of money, that no companies outside of China and Korea are willing to invest in something with no guaranteed RoI. I'm not even sure if the Chinese/Korean MMO mill still exists outside of mobile.
There's a reason that the most successful MMOs at present are as old as they are. ESO is probably the most recent, and it came out in 2014.
Is that the PC version exclusively, or including the mobile version, which has a much larger population? Also, while I haven't touched BDO since it got localized, I've heard that it's gotten much heavier on the pay-to-win MTX.
