700m loss in revenue this year. Turns out greedy practices dont work they only cause a quick influx of money on a growing problem.
On another note who do you think will run the first league of legends private server when lol finally burns to the ground (except on the off chance that they change their design philosophy).
SSmotzer9 votesIsn't the 700 mil loss from when the Chinese government banned video games?
But what do I know, maybe shutting off the largest populated server on the planet might not have had anything to do with a dip in revenue.
Also, everyone is celebrating the crashing and burning of Activision. Most people don't care what is happening with Riot.

Too fucking bad league isnt banned in fucking china. Tencent owns most of the chineese economy and has extreme pull over the chineese market. They fucking know better than to piss them off.
Imperial Pandaa1 votesTencent has also faced direct regulatory pressure this summer, after President Xi Jinping pointed out that too many children were nearsighted and said the government was taking action. Beijing officially ruled to ban new games, cementing an unofficial pause that started back in March, costing Tencent up to $1.5 billion in lost revenue as it was unable to launch games it had been developing.
Uh hu... Tell me more about how Tencent controls China without actually researching. Now recently China has begun to lift the game ban, but still had an affect.
