The Chinese company The9 is responsible for selling MMO subscriptions. They are a smaller Chinese MMO company, but they have a massive super computer. This should tell you something about just how big the market is in China. Imagine when people in India get tons of computers, you have even a portion of the billion people getting online, and playing MMOs then the market is going to get bigger. Let me refocus xD ; MMOs still have alot growth.
