No it isn’t lol
With all the boost spam out there I agree
this has always been a thing
china has always been 3x the US
and eu has always been 2x the US
whenever wow was near 12 million?
US subs were maybe 3 or 4 MAYBE
with eu and china dominating the remaining numbers
In the same interview the blizz employee also stated that wow’s current population would have it on the steam charts at either the 1,2,or 3 game depending on the time of day top games as of right now pubg, DotA, and csgo are the top games on the chart with about 600,000 players so we now have a ballpark of the retail population numbers
Maybe they do, the official word is that they are split in teams to work on separate games. But within TEAM 2 that works on WoW, they are most definitely split into groups or individually working on boss encounters, new zones and zone stories, etc… I would wager a guess that they have time allotted for several people (or groups) to put time into the next expansion.
My thing is that I don’t agree with the whole good xpac, bad xpac, team a, team b argument. It’s silly because until BFA and WoD, all the other expansions had their loud people that disliked it, but there were also a fair amount that liked it.
You also have the fact that the people working on BFA, didn’t necessarily work on previous expansions in their exact role.
A lot of people who worked on Legion either retired, quit, got moved to another department/game. So for someone to use the TEAM A, B argument to back their point on a specific expansion is nonsense.
