So hey everybody,
I need many many facts about blizzard entertainment, how many dollars they earn per month due to WoW, how many they've gotten by sc2 and all that, if this aint possible, I need the amount of dollars (or whatsoever) blizzard earned in 2009/2008/2007... both, the turnover (is that the right word?) and the profit.
I only get small snippets from different websites, not really trustable I guess.
Please report errors in the Staredit.Network forum.
^ Exactly.
A businesses' income and financial details are very hard to get hold of and in many cases would be regarded as industrial espionage.
None.
I do stuff and thingies... Try widening and reducing the number of small nooks and crannies to correct the problem.

Anyway they should provide some information for the shareholders. But I don't think you will find much information about Blizzard Entertainment. You should search for Activision Blizzard or Vivendi.

Bullshit. If the company is public, they are required to disclose information to investors.
Currently held by Activsion, so look here:
http://investor.activision.com/annuals.cfm It also says they were held by Vivendi? So check with them.

how many dollars they earn per month due to WoW.
at 12 million accounts, they earn at least $155,880,000 and at most $179,880,000. That's assuming all 12 million still pay and play each month.
As others have mentioned, their profits and losses have to be made public. The issue more recently, however, is that Blizzard is bunched together with other Activision assets as well after the merger.

These numbers include "Blizzard" games, but also have to include franchises like Guitar Hero and Call of Duty.

You can examine recent Form 10-Qs and other documents at Activision Blizzard's website (links above). They reported ~$350 million in operating revenue from subscriptions and services in Q3 2010, a large fraction was which was likely from WoW.
None.
Note that although they have 12 million players, many of these are from China, Korea and other asian countries where they do NOT pay $10/month like the US and other western countries do. Over there, they pay by the hour, or by the day etc, and generally it comes out a lot cheaper than $10/month that westerners pay. Then throw in exchange rate etc. This is similar to how SC2 was released in different versions in other non-western countries like Russia.
Different payment forms for different markets, so you can't simply take their reported subscribes and multiply it by $10/month.
None.
I don't know the numbers, but i stumbled upon a table with a bunch of numbers, The main thing that I remember for certain, is that all the money they had saved up would be gone by 9 months into the year, if they made no income during that time. I believe that's what you mean by turnover, right?
None.
Um, pretty sure that's cashflow. turnover refers to revenue, or else it may refer to labor turnover, wherein if labor turnover is 1.3 years, that means most employees only stick around 1.3 years.
