Blizzard lost 29%of its playerbase in three years

So sad how far blizzard has fallen. On a side note, I’d post the article but you can’t post links for some reason on these forums. What is this 2003 again?

No, that can’t be, even though we have the actual numbers the earnings call was yesterday and the PR guys said it was better than ever!

Considering they haven’t released an actual new title in years aside from Reforged and that was one of the biggest flops ever. I’m surprised it’s not much worse.

WoW and Hearthstone must be carrying hard for Blizz at this point.

In before the obligatory “Just because they announced it doesn’t mean it’s that bad the game itself is in a great place and you’re just complaining for the sake of complaining”.

We have actual numbers of the money that was made…which has always been increasing with Kotick.

We do not have subscriber numbers as they no longer provide those for obvious reasons.

Of the “Big Three”:

  • Starcraft is dead and the team responsible no longer exists.

  • Diablo is wallowing in nostalgia + “Don’t you guys have phones?” + Diablo 4 is still far on the horizon.

  • Reforged was a dumpster fire. Shadowlands is suffering from COVID-delays, although it did have a massive launch. Hearthstone shows uncompromised growth however.


Blizzard has gone from an industry leader to merely maintaining a stable population in a 16 year MMO and running a successful card game. Whoopie.
