Star Wars craze is likely only going to increase that even more. 4n2764

I don’t think anyone is really surprised to see World of Warcraft still holding the top spot there. Blizzard has a real winner there and following it up with Overwatch that took the games market was up 11% year-over-year, earning $6.0 billion in May, which is just crazy if you really think about it.

Note that these are worldwide revenue figures: Lineage, TERA, and Fantasy Westward Journey optional subscription is placed in the “pay-to-play” category: TERA has a F2P option too.
