| It isn't that hard to turn a profit in the industry simply based on the level of competition. A lot of games are still getting a few hundred thousand subscribers with fundamental flaws in the core game design. WoW does not have any quality competition. WoW's success has as much to do with what WoW did right as it does with what these other games are doing wrong.
While WoW probably won't be toppled anytime soon, there is a large market out there that does not like WoW and is waiting on another quality MMORPG to come out. A well designed game could probably at the very least pull a few million customers over 6-12 months. As long as that potential market exists it makes sense for people to continue producing games as somebody eventually has to get it right.
