It's happening, it's being said on streams

some of the larger streamers out there (2K+ viewers) are saying “no, I am not going to Shadows xpac when it comes out” and that’s not surprising. Even those on friends in classic saying the same. People are no longer interested in retail.

can’t blame them with the current designers dumbing down the game so heavily

Imagine caring what someone streaming to two thousand people already watching instead of playing the game thinks.

True story that WoW streamers are not going to stream new content. Yeah sure.

Lmao so because a few 2k andys claim theyre not playing Shadowlands means retails dead? Get real dude. More than probably 80% of wows player base dont even watch streamers, or come on the forums

I’ll be interested in retail as long as they keep adding new cute girls.

you lack reality, but that comes with age so you should be ok in a few years

I say people need to think for themselves and not be like a bunch of lemmings. Silver lining: a few servers that are not totally clogged and unplayable with groupies with no real life.

Isn’t watching streams a teenager/college kid thing? Mostly?

I don’t hear many thirty year olds talking about Preach around the water cooler.

Oh man, this is big!

Should I call someone about this? Police, FBI, Channel 4 news, ESPN 8 the ocho?

Someone call the Stormwind Times!

I’m interested and I’ll be playing Shadowlands so that makes everything you just said incorrect and irrelevant.

lol… some of the very same people here that claimed themselves that they’re not playing or preordering Shadowlands are now acting high and mighty because the OP reported that a few streamers said the same thing. Doesn’t make sense.

Well there’s two concepts here, and you miss a lot of things so I’ll explain it.

I’m not preordering SL.

I also dgaf about what streamers say. They’re there to be entertaining, not to think for me.

Yes, and when you announce that you’re not playing Shadowlands do you think anyone gives af? What’s the difference between you and the op?

No. Not in the slightest. Which is why I almost never mention it.

That’s the difference.

That must be terribly liberating to let Youtube do your thinking for you.

Streamers and Youtubers play WoW for money. I remember Heel vs Babyface saying he was never playing again. He whined, left, came back, whined, left and came back again, left.

They always come back, even the whiniest ones.

Probably because unless you’re a variety streamer, it’s really, really, really hard to drag your audience from one game to another. If you built yourself in one franchise, you’ll get a solid following, but you better really hope the servers don’t go down.
