World of Warcraft got a $90 dupe of a mount worth $475 around 6 years ago for the MMO's 20th anniversary, and fans reckon Blizzard made at least $15 million off it

The Trader’s Gilded Brutosaur Mount in World of Warcraft.

Blizzard recently celebrated World of Warcraft's 20th anniversary by selling a $90 version of a mount that cost approximately $475 just six years ago, and it's estimated it made the company $15 million.

Back in October, WoW players could buy the Trader's Gilded Brutosaur mount for $90. It's essentially a cheaper version of the old Reins of the Mighty Caravan Brutosaur mount. It's special because it has two slots for NPC vendors that can sell goods or repair armor, and it gives you remote access to the auction house.
