WoW is in a death spiral where people who forgot how to make fun games desperately try to milk the 10% attrition YoY for every dollar and make things just joblike enough to keep someone paying the subscription + at least $20 in microtransaction a month.
>WoW is in a death spiral where people who forgot how to make fun games
retail mogs all classic versions and its not even close
go raidlog MC somewhere else moron
But it is dying. Slowly the merge servers to make it feel like people play and you're so sunk cost on the game you can't move on, probably because of the autism.
subs have been on a downward spiral since 2010. it got so bad that they stopped reporting how many subs the game has
Damn at this rate they'll stop making expansions by 2020

If they suddenly got 30m subs, they wouldn't start reporting subs again because that'd prove it was shit before and it will be shit whenever they stop reporting again. Would scare the frick out of their shareholders

Relying solely on a "whale" revenue model, while initially profitable, risks severe consequences once the well of big spenders begins to dry up. This happens as these players either lose interest, have financial changes, or feel exploited and leave. When this primary source of revenue dwindles, it's often too late to shift strategies or win back the players alienated by an aggressive monetization approach. Moreover, once a game develops a reputation for predatory practices, it's difficult to attract new players or reboot the franchise in the future. The long-term health of a game property relies on maintaining a diverse, engaged player base and a balanced, fair revenue model that respects its community.
You honestly sound like you're coping when the idea that your beloved game has untreatable cancer.

Clearly you're a moron if you think it's a good idea to show your hand absolutely as to why you're not showing subs when you don't.
who cares?

Clearly you two
considering the amount of players it has and how graphics are increasingly less important it probably has at least 10ish profitable expansions left

Obviously there's still people who buy the WoW subscription. Like you. Doesn't change the fact it's dying, slowly.

You've been saying this since 2010

Why are retoilets so sensitive?
>10% attrition YoY
what the frick am i reading
Every year 10% of the subscribers disappear.
It's looking great now subs are back around the ~5 million mark.
No MMO is above one million anymore.
Everquest is still alive and that was released in 1999.
sometimes i wonder who takes the time to write this kind of shit and why
gay game for gays
>hearthstone is being integrated into wow
If they did this I would sub purely to play hearthstone in the tavern in old town.
i'm enough of a moron that they can rope me in for a month before i remember i hate raiding and mythic+ and pretty much everything to do with wow
