So they were pulling in only $6.4 mil a month on subs at $12.99/mo. I just stood up a new data center and it's very small, the base cost without going into the building/rent and cooling/power was half a million just for software and hardware. That's not covering on going costs or bandwidth either. An operation like WoW would need several OC lines (optical carrier) and those cost big. That's not even covering the salaries of the IT people involved. I make good money...
