If your game is good you will have a great and loving fan base. If your game is bad you will have an unhappy and/or non existent fan base. Its not the players fault, or streamers fault, or people being mean on forums fault. It’s simply whether you have made a good game or a bad game.

16 years of WoW has proven this to be very untrue. Even at the game’s best the forums were brimming with unhappy people. The game has been “dying” since 2005.

Except sub numbers are dropping as record speeds. Is it ironic that Final Fantasy is seeing record numbers increase? I think not.
While I would agree with the OP, Magnarok is also correct. I have been playing since the game went live and even when the game was crushing everyone under their success there were always the “this will be the WoW killer” people out there that were never happy.

How is it that the same people who complain that WoW doesn’t release sub numbers somehow also know that the sub’s are dropping at record speeds?

Well your first clue is the fact that they don’t want to release the sub numbers.
They haven’t released the sub numbers for years. Whatever the reason is behind that, it isn’t Shadowlands specific.
Which means you have no evidence that the sub decline (if there is one, and there probably is since the game is old) is any worse than it has been since the game peaked in Wrath.
You’re pretty naive to think that this game is still doing as strong as it was back in wrath.
And that is subjective,What I like may differ from yours. Even when the game sometimes makes a bad decision in play I’ll try it but I may not like the outcome from it.
Did I say it was?
If the sub numbers were anywhere near what they were in Wrath, they’d be boasting about it.
Except WoW’s “fanbase” has always been filled to the brim with hatred and negativity about the game. It’s been that way since 2005. It’s well known, and most of us are personally aware of it because we have seen it all the way along.
WoW will go the way of SW:G and die choking on the hubris of its publisher.
Nope. That’s not irony at all.
I agree. People have never spewed any kind of negativity when WoW was “good.”
Totes didn’t happen at all. The forums were a hive full of happy, satisfied customers, lauding the company and developers.
No one complained. No one hated the content at all.
Nope. No sir. It was all sunshine and rainbows.
and THERE ya go.
I love classic retail thru Legion. Im playing in Broken Isles right now, matter of fact, on my lower monitor.
WHY am I playing in Legion content instead of SLs?
Im not farming with a high level…Im playing with a locked 49 with crap heirlooms…and enjoying every second of it.
WHY arent I over in SLs playing NEW content?
Because blizzard has decided to drown the game in systems and currencies and number grinds (anima…ugh) until Im ready to puke…add that into EVERYTHING in the stinking expansion doing that mind numbing SLOW-ROOT- STUN crap …THEN add in the pocket lint drops from most everything (since WoD, apparently) and yeah…not having any fun at all.
I play GAMES to have FUN.
SLs isnt fun. It annoys me.
If I want to be annoyed, I’ll pick up the phone and call the ex wife for a couple hours.
