World of Warcraft Pet Store Adds $25 Mount
"The Celestial Steed is the first-ever mount to be available through the service," explained Blizzard, specifying that "this supernatural warhorse will fly as fast as your riding skill will take you, and it will travel at 310% speed if you have at least one other 310% mount."
A new premium-priced pet--Lil' XT--is also available to players of the popular MMO, sporting the same $10.00 price tag as earlier paid pet offerings Pandaren Monk and Lil' K.T., with the store still selling two $24.99 real-world plushes--Wind Rider Cub and Gryphon Hatchling--that each include "a matching in-game non-combat pet."

They can cut a game into 3 pieces and charge $60 for the first piece, and people would still buy it.

A more accurate estimate would be 5 million players paying $15 a month, and 6 million players paying $3 a month or so.
So about $3 million per day, which is still ridiculous.
But their profit margin isn't $3 mill - 160K or whatever, you can easily see that by looking at investor reports. Their profit margin is still very high for a business, on the order of 45%, but not 90%.
