I think the major difference between these games is that the games made by the conglomerate formerly known as Activision-Blizzard-King still make boatloads of money.
Shame about Tango. The Evil Within games were some of the most mediocre games that I really enjoyed.

We Doom Hi-Fi Rush game that won many awards, Now It dust as Xbox just another EA as Sony is no better… It time To Hurt Microsoft, Hurt them in there pockets…
The way I see it, Microsoft is very mindful of revenue, IP, and brand. They aren’t going to just throw away good value, but they may take it in a different direction. I was super reserved about Minecraft when they took it over, but if anything they have grown it way beyond what it was then. If they see any game as too “niche” they may likely expand it to suit a bigger audience or adapt it to their hardware (XBOX, or Next Gen XBOX whatever that looks like in development).
So think of them viewing WOW, not as a single “game” that some people play, but as an IP. That IP has loyalists and can be expanded into other markets, find new life/new players new revenue. I don’t work for them, but if I did, I would be targeting WOW as it exists now for decommissioning and start development on WOW2 (whatever that is going to look like) in tandem. Things WOW2 would include is ease of entry, casual friendly, maybe controller friendly, built on new HW/SW standards that have better visual graphics, interoperability, etc. etc. I absolutely want WOW as an entity to continue, but looking at it, playing it with fresh eyes, this iteration needs to go. It does not presently fit a modern game model.
Prediction: 3-5 years until WOW is sunset and WOW2 is launched
Prediction 2: once we get over the “I wish we could go back to…” phase we will actually find WOW2 to be a fantastic game with great stories, great characters, great gameplay and we will continue to play and enjoy it.

Still I call for Riot in Hurtting Xbox/Microsoft Wallets this should not happen
I like Microsoft. The whole gaming industry is really changing and how we access new games and experience them. Honestly I feel like wow is in good hands. They’ve already announced the next three expansions so we have at least 6 more years of new experience to come. lol
And we have classic wow. And all this other stuff. We have a lot. This is awesome.

I would assume they didn’t pay all that money to buy activison blizzard to close it. They were only closing indie devs it seems which Blizzard isn’t as much as people like to joke they are.

So far, they seem to be leaving WOW alone. The properties they really wanted were COD and Candy Crush. It actually wouldn’t surprise me if they sell Blizzard at some point.

that seems a bit fast and I think one shouldn’t underestimate how many people play this game for almost no reason other than they’re used to it being a part of their life. Why would a new, different game become a part of their life if all of the nostalgic memories and collections aren’t in it and - on the other hand - if they were to be transferred to it, why even make a new game then rather than further develop the already existing?
