I am of the case that I only resub once new content comes out or if I feel like playing WOW.

I don’t stay subbed all the time.

I think you would lose that bet, in fact I would guarantee you would lose that bet based on the way you phased it, i.e. ‘all from WoW’.

no problem, you’re welcome, have a nice evening :smile:

And thats mostly due to how people play the game since cata, especially since BfA has turned catchup and gear acquisition into overdrive with all content designed to be as repeatable as possible. That’s why I think while there’s no doubt a fall off I think most people who left did it already with the rest of us slowly burning out or playing in a cyclic fashion.

Most likely very few are from WoW.

In my case its mostly a financial reason. I like to save money and not have it burned away every month.

Call of Duty is something else. Someone from NPD (US sales tracking) revealed the top two best selling games of every year, and it was Call of Duty at #1 almost every year. And their numbers were 10-20 million or more per title.

32

Not if history is anything to go by. There’s a trend of millions of players jumping on board for each expansion, then a steady decline from there. They hit 10 million subscribers towards the launch of WoD, then dropped to 5.5 million in the same expansion. Every quarterly report was another 750,000 - 1.5 million lost subscribers, until they stopped publishing them altogether.

You would know if it was all from WoW…I mean, is that even a serious question?

You label it a dead game, indisputably implying you don’t care about it, but state:

Beautifully done.

That was unique to WoD though. Blizzard hyped the bejeebus out of WoD to draw out the Warcraft fans but didn’t deliver that experience and cut out a crapload of the hyped content. Then they were caught having lied to and strung along the player base about flight for over a year. Both of those left a bad taste in players mouths.

Anyway, WoD had the biggest spike upwards but couldn’t keep any of those players for past 6 months.

36

Lol WoD was the largest drop and is not indicative to how most xpacs performed before it. If you think WoW lost 1.5m+ people since February then I have a bridge to sell you.

37

Curious. Did Blizzard announce the death of HoTS last quarter?

Honestly don’t remember but that was the first thing that came to mind when I heard about this today

38

The real question I have is, who wants to bet OP suffers from special snowflake tinfoil hat syndrome?

There was a huge thread on this very same thing earlier today. Why not contribute to that thread instead of making your own with complete speculation?

Show me where I said they lost that many since February. I specifically stated during WoD.

And there’s been a steady decline with every expansion. They break records for launch sales every go around, then eventually lose more subscribers than they had with the previous expansion. This is a fact, and there are graphs available.

At this point in BFA the people who are still around are probably going to stick around.

Citation please.

We know this from 2 xpacs and nothing after.

You need to look up what a fact means. We do not know from mid WoD on.

42

That was basically what I am was saying. It people who didn’t like BfA most likely left in the first 6 months. Complete speculation on my part but that is my thoughts on it.
