A lot of classic Andys are already wiping in MC playing with console controllers.
It would be a huge meme, but it would honestly be good for the game to have an influx of new, casual players. But retail end game mechanics are probably never gonna be possible on console lol.
YOu do know most newer consols like the current Xbox and PS5 can have keayboards and mouse attach points right ? So the console would work more like a desktop containing the hdd/ssd , memory and graphics .
It was hypothesized by opinion articles when Microsoft bought Blizzard (or into Blizzard) but it was not officially stated.
Thats just wild speculation that ignores the reality of the situation.
Which definitely does not mean its coming soon.
Where was this discussed?
When was it discussed?
Who discussed it?
This is what Akston is asking and these are all legitimate questions.
I am a Controller player that wants WoW on Xbox.
So now I am asking you on his behalf to answer those questions like a mature adult, without being belligerent, dismissive and argumentative about it.
Who discussed bringing WoW to Xbox. And When?
It’s a nice thought (despite some of the people here and their beliefs) but the vast programming needed to be done to work it into a console’s programming…it’s is definitely not coming soon as Blizzard has it’s hands full with upcoming expansions and various other things they are working on. Possible. Sure. Happening? No.
Right that’s part of it. A new influx of players, plus more importantly, is part of the gamepass. The downside: if Warcraft becomes solely a gamepass game, then i don’t think it will get as much individual attention, because players are subscribing to the pass, not the game. So maybe more bugs and generic content.
Source: my own brain thinking thoughts.
Not that I know anything, but I cant imagine the game pass part happening. This game remains a huge cash cow for them because 20 years later we all still gladly fork $15/month over to keep playing. Otherwise this game has massive upkeep costs relative to its player count.
People already dont talk in chat. Nice to see you desire to make that even worse by adding a bunch of players without keyboards
That would probably cause a lot of angry people and some pretty massive boycotts so no… they won’t go through with this.
I mean, nothing will change. People already play like they don’t have a keyboard. Also, you can just plug a keyboard into the console now.
I mean the businesses…disagree. mobile master race to them.
This is hilariously dramatic.
If nobody boycotted over a $90 mount, then Nobody is boycotting over WoW being ported to consoles.
I mean I know one person who boycotted over the 90 dollar mount
Quit the game over it
They will have to change and simplify the game tremendously in order to put it onto gamepass. They didn’t have to do that for the mount.
Malgorok is essentially correct. Thr earliest playable games were developed on mainframe computers before the advent of dedicated gaming consoles like the Atari or Magnavox Odyssey; meaning the “first” video games were played on computers, not consoles.
It’s literally embedded in the thread as having been discussed recently. Widely available on the internet. Again, you are focusing on something that is not relevant to the discussion and making it personal for a gotcha moment. It’s been discussed and floated around. Microsoft owns both and will try to maximize their profit… So it’s not even a far left field idea. Do you even care about the topic?
Again, I am not doing homework today. Either you are interested in warcraft coming to xbox or not. Attacks in the style of the Spanish Inquistion are irrelevant. Making it all about me is a weird take and anyone seeing a post like mine and goes on the attack right away alrrady had that gun locked and loaded looking for a fight.
As I always am
No they won’t.
They would just have to make a new UI for consoles. The biggest and main issue with porting to consoles is addons.
Baaaah I said I wasn’t gonna get dragged into this stupid argument again.
Just nevermind yeah you’re right in order to play on console they have to reduce every class down to 2 buttons because otherwise MMOs can’t exist on a controller yeah yeah alright whatever.
