This was a popular link everyone sent when defending SL:
I don’t see Blizzard, WoWhead, or anyone talking about sales numbers for DF.
Did this expansion even sell that many copies? Most people know this is just a way to escape SL’s dropping sub numbers, so the hype was not even there but i’m curious to see how little copies they sold after SL.
No numbers to report, and giving away a month of free game time when you buy DF already means only one thing. Karma is catching up to them at long last.
This article is from blizzard. It was released less than one week after the launch of SL lauding their own sales numbers. If DF was selling well they’d have released a similar statement to bolster the sales.
Instead they are not telling you the numbers, while at the same time giving away a month of free game time if you buy DF.
That means people are walking away. And they won’t be back.
Well it does matter, you can enjoy something alot and then the c-suite can scrap it because it doesn’t bring in enough money to be sustainable. Loads of projects have suffered this issue.
Dragonflight will unfortunately be hurt by just how atrocious Shadowlands was, and it’s a shame because I think Dragonflight is the best thing WoW’s done in years.
