Q3的訂閱數大家都知道了,相比Q2下降10萬,來到了550萬,
用戶數下降在預期之中,但Q3財報揭露的資訊中,真正令人感到意外的恐怕是下面這段,
"Note that this is the last quarter that we plan to provide subscriber
numbers," the company said. "There are other metrics that are better
indicators of the overall Blizzard business performance."(http://goo.gl/yJi3mh),
「Q3是最後一次公佈訂閱用戶數,未來將以其他指標衡量其表現。」
對於一個十年來持續以「訂閱」為營運模式的遊戲來說,還有其他更好的指標嗎?
除非它將不再以訂閱為營運模式。
