Oh not to worry Clark, the Playstation extremists will give you just that. /j
…Wait, why?
As much i don’t think WoW on Consoles will do well because of the limited and sub-par nature of consoles in comparison to PCs from a consumer standpoint (i mean let’s be honest, you forgot Diablo 3 and Overwatch are on consoles besides the Switch until WoW on Consoles has been bought up, don’t ya?), i wouldn’t really object to WoW being on consoles.
I could see Blizz messing it up though like Gazillion did to Marvel Heroes to put it on console. It also made the PC version worse because they changed a lot about the PC version to work like the console version to save on development time in the future.
For example I understand PS5 is alright but XiV doesn’t have to only consider 5 but 4 as well. It took them 100 years to finally ditch PS3 support and then they could add a few more cheap UI elements.
It’s definitely not real.
WoW isn’t stupid enough to limit the game to just one console.
Also, XBOX is re-evaluating their working relationship with Blizzard-Activision since all the drama started to go down.
Hello, I see you posted in the console thread. I believe the worry is that, similar to FF14, if World of Warcraft was also on console, the PC version of the game would constantly be held back from advancing in various features because of console limitations. Currently, that’s not as much of an issue because of the power the Series X but that could be a problem for future versions of the game!
Their only stake in Blizzard before was Diablo, really. With Playstation having FFXIV on console, bringing WoW to XBOX seems like EXACTLY the kind of move they’d make.
It’s absolutely the point of no return for WoW if that happens.
Why would it be? FFXIV has done great on console, where they have a huge number of players. And while you have to buy the console version separately, the servers are shared between PC and console players, and everyone seems to be having a great time.
If WoW was to add a console version, they’d surely have to link it to existing servers. I can think of nothing more relaxing than kicking back on the couch and smashing out some quests.
Diablo 3 was a superb console port - many people prefer it to the PC version.
