      • Ahh i see now.. damn always read small text :) So this chart is only for MICROTRANSACTIONS, i.e. mounts pets – that kind of shit. 15$ per month from 7 mil+ subscribers its not in that figure. :)

  3. Crossfire must be really popular in Not-The-Best Korea, btw Combat Arms is way better Korean F2P game.
    Also why isn’t Dota 2 there?

    • Well top 10 games played on Steam today are:
      1. Dota 2 with 613,297 Peak Today
      2. CS:GO with 91,078 Peak Today
      3. Team Fortress 2 with 80,040 Peak Today
      4. Football Manager 2014 with 75,490 Peak Today
      5. Skyrim with 66,105 Peak Today
      6. Civ V with 62,417 Peak Today
      7. Garry’s Mod with 47,351 Peak Today
      8. Original CS with 41,173 Peak Today
      9. DayZ with 36,767 Peak Today
      10. Rust with 38,513 Peak Today

      I’m surprised how Dota 2 isn’t on the list.

    • Indeed, surprised too that ST:O didnt make it on the list.
      Maybe Cryptic / PWE just didnt disclose their numbers.
      I am curious whether neverwinter will be on that list next year.

      Must be too small playerbase (which can be good for the community sometimes)

      regarding steam:
      I banned it from my harddrive several years ago, didnt regret it.

      (and now someone tell me how to upload an avatar pic=

        • Thanks a lot.
          @Finear: I had a some bad experience with steam some years ago. didnt bother to try again yet.

          • Steam was bad at release but since then they improved everything

            Outside wot and wow I don’t play non steam games

            Is super convenient
            Patches downloads forums guides communities and chat all in one place

          • Steam wasn’t brilliant at first, but now Steam has the monopoly of the release platforms on PC.

            • True. I really like Steam as well. Ever tried installing Uplay? Looks like it was designed for 10year olds and bombards you with ads how you shoud BUY desktop WALLPAPERS!! Also, slow, and probably not even a third of the options of Steam.

  6. CrossFire. A game, where you won’t get much for much of your money.
    Also suffers a hacker plague from time to time. But don’t worry, these last only a few weeks! ;)
    I wonder how this game hit the #1 place.

    • China market. Billions upon billions of people throwing money at games their crappy net-cafe computers can play.

      • Actually those are not billions of people at netcafe. Netcafe in China can at least play WoT properly.

        Problem is that CrossFire is really popular with elementary school kids who actually ate the bullshit that was fed to them by crossfire advertising(most realistic/3 billion people’s firefight dream).

    • A Golden Type 59 was introduced and Chinese WoT players hate it for being so rediculous in a game that boasts historical accuracy (this attitude is shown by numerous teamkills).
      A Golden AK47 (which ridiculously shoots more accurate than the normal AK) was introduced and CrossFire players (who were mainly primary school pupils) rushed to buy it. Plus, if you buy premium account (called “blue diamond” AFAIK), you will have 120HP while F2P players have only 100. Oh, and not only AK47 has its golden (“more powerful”) version, seems the M4 and a lot of other weapons have it too. Those playing CF just LOVE to pay2win.
      So you see where the money’s coming from.

  7. Funny considering how many hackers there are in Crossfire. The game looks bad and the gameplay gets boring after a while, but it’s the hackers that made me leave and never come back to it.

    Or maybe killing everyone on the map from the spawn site in the first 2 sec of the match, or running around at 10x the regular speed are powerups they were selling… not sure… maybe that’s how they get so much money.

  9. these are not mmos

    not all of them

    lol, wot, TF2 are not havent played CSO and crossfire but i imagine they are not mmo too

  11. never heard of that “crossfire” game before, not even saw an ad, review, comment, preview, trailer, anything, yet it’s the 1st?, sounds IFFY
    same with dungeon fighter online, what is that?

    • DFO is a 2d fighting gameish thing. It used to be decent sized but not too big in NA, but then they closed down the servers here. Both Crossfire and DFO are simply massive in Asia.

      • that explains it…
        i googled a little and that crossfire is a horrible counter-strike 1:1 clone, it looks like CS classic(on half life 1 engine).
        the other one urgh.. sidescroller arcace-2d game.. pass

  12. Either these companies are earning square dollars, or someone f*cked up the chart (trollface)

  13. Earnings don’t extacly equal popularity, I’ve never heard about nearly half of games on this list… It just indicates what’s a bigger P2W…

  15. Never heard of Crossfire fire before reading this article looks a bad version of counter strike might download to get a better opinion of it.

  18. CrossFire almost 1 billion dollars income? I thought this game is not that good. Also they should more advertise itself, because I see lots of WOT ads and they even don`t make that much.

    • $372 million is alot of money in my book. And the reason you see so many WOT adverts is Google tracks your internet use and puts up ads that correspond to your search history.

    • An AK gun that is more powerful, carries more bullets, enables faster weapon switch, brings 3x XP bonus to the owner and a small bonus to his team, adds “cool” marks to the room the owner creates ,and most importantly is permanent (without time limit of use), costs 888RMB on CN server run by Tencent.
      You do the math.
      BTW CF doesn’t need advertisement,every primary school pupil knows it. (“primary school pupil” = noobs among Chinese playerbase)

  20. Just checked that Crossfire game and it is just such obvious copy of CS 1.6 that I find it hard to believe that such game made so much money only for selling ingame shits like new character skin, terminator glasses etc… Its just ridiculous … also graphics seems really terrible.

      Almost anything that’s related to pay2win is sold in this game.
      Did I mention that with the 888RMB AK gun you can choose whether the result of a battle is recorded? Theoretically you can build a 100% winrate account with it. Literally pay2win.

  23. Never heard of crossfire and dungeon online untill now.

    Really amazed to see that such shitty games make so much money…

  25. lineage 1 is still going? i thought it was canned! I thought my massive time waste character was forever lost!

  26. With top tier C-Store ships costing around 30$ or 50$ for a 3-pack, and seeing shitload of them in-game, along with Lock box ships (needs $ to open a lottery box to get them), costumes, pets and such, I am really surprised STO is not in the list as well.

    True, you can farm Dil and save $ if you are persistent/unemployed, but judging from US players I play with, no one bothers wasting time with that (usually takes weeks), micro-transactions are preffered option.

    Weird.

  27. Interesting. Thanks to kids who play shit with their wooden pc from China so that crossfire could be the top while the Korean server has been shut down.
    CN WOT’s golden type 59 just learnt from cn crossfire’s golden ak47 or so.

  28. With all that money you would think they could get rid of Telia for the East US server….
