We only do single-player games here at Basilisk, so we can operate with a minimal staff. Ever wonder what it takes to run a game like World of Warcraft?

With over 10 million subscribers, I'm surprised the numbers aren't at least double.
In other news, if they were paying their employees an average of $80,000 per year, their salaries would be covered in less than two months.
