I can&amp;#39;t see how they could possibly be happy with that. They&amp;#39;re also operating at a loss, apparently the days when 400,000 was a profitable subscriber base are gone. Sounds like there&amp;#39;s significant overhead and inertia in Funcom itself. If their churn rate is as high as described here I doubt they can keep a solid customer base. I hope they aren&amp;#39;t banking on 360 being the saving grace.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;It&amp;#39;s interesting that they plan to launch two casual MMORPGs in 2009 though.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Currently operating at a loss of 7,000,000 USD per quarter with 37,000,000 in total cash. Expecting to lose 4,000,000 to break even in Q3. At least they project a positive development.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="cb"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://wow.curse.com/aggbug.aspx?PostID=16308" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item><item><title>415,000 subscribers according to latest report</title><link>http://wow.curse.com/blogs/aoc-en-news/archive/2008/09/17/N12867Id.aspx#16307</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Aug 2008 16:16:36 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">045f8e2a-3b25-43b2-9769-9c60de2974e3:16307</guid><dc:creator>Fugazi</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;I wonder how many &amp;quot;subscribers&amp;quot; will want their money back when they discover that funcom is still getting their money even that they canceled their subs in account management....&lt;/p&gt;
