        right but at the height of WoW’s popularity you had to buy the game/expansions and you still have the buy the expansions to this day.

  Yeah especially since all-time peak active subs was 12m and still has 2.2m daily active players as of Jan 2025.

  It would surely be on a chart for repeat customets, though.
  …And all-time revenue generated, of course: ~$15b (also Jan 2025).
