Blizzard has spent around $200 million to facilitate the operation of World of Warcraft according to data gleaned from the recent Activision Blizzard Analyst Day. That number includes the cost of running customer service, continued development and server costs - a small price to pay for this cash-printing MMO that is popular around the globe. The popular MMO currently has 11 million subscribers worldwide, and has $1 billion in revenue this year. Pretty impressive numbers.
