"Back in April, we learned through a GDC talk that the game had earned around $2 billion in lifetime sales. Since then, other stats have come to light on the subscription side of the game, with TESO having earned $15 million per month (on average) since launch".

    Thanks for linking.

    Not to criticize you because you're just quoting, but these two statements in the article don't say the same:
    "Since then, other stats have come to light on the subscription side of the game, with TESO having earned $15 million per month (on average) since launch."
    "Now, Gary Boodhoo, a former UX designer at ZeniMax Online Studios has revealed on LinkedIn that during his time working on ESO, the game was driving $15 million in monthly revenue over the past ten years, through subscription sales and the Crown Store. "

    So if that's muddled together with crown store sales, we unfortunately can't say how much people have ESO+. That would have been interesting.

    I think it seems unlikely that's with crown store sales as well, probably a misspeak. If they were pulling in 200 mil a year, it seems unlikely that the entire rest of that was selling chapter editions.
