Well, we're in Microsoft town now

Gruntilda can now appear in WoW and start heading Witch Trials in Drustvar so that she can dispose of her rival Witches while fraudulently accusing a certain Bear of being cursed by the Witches and needing to be put down!

It will be the exact same as when Disney bought Star Wars. Same type of decline.

Yeah the bill gates reference whenever you speak of what Microsoft is doing cracks me up
 he’s been NOT involved in day to day affairs of the company, especially not at the top level anymore, for nearly as long as WoW has been retail.

He’s long since been focused on his foundation.

That won’t stop people from blaming him for everything they think is wrong with computers.

Meow, who has Master Chief tmog on the wow store on their bingo card?

My guess is that they won’t be putting all that much thought into WoW one way or the other. What they really want is Call of Duty.

As for Wow, like all other products, as long as it makes money they will keep it around.

I look foward to more Blue screns of death playing dungeon content now

I dont care if it all goes to game pass as long there is option for to WoW stay by its self and you dont need game pass. I hope they only baught this for the call off duty bros

I mean, what if we got access to all of Game Pass with a WoW subscription for the same cost as the WoW subscription? Or just a dollar or two more? Not gonna lie, that would be neat.

Yeah it’s so wild that people blame Disney when they blamed Lucas so much before that for the prequels. Short-term memories I guess.

It began when they merged with Activision. 100% of ALL the original dev team all say the same thing
 Blizzard is dead. We are just playing an Activision version of what it used to be. There is no such company as Blizzard anymore. Hasn’t been for a while now.

haha. i too remember 1997 when bsods were a thing that people actually saw somewhat regularly

They’re not doing well because Rare only had a few hits that people only liked because they were kids. They were not actually good at making video games. Fable had similar problems because of Molyneux.

Source: Yooka-Laylee and everything Molyneux has done post leaving Lionhead.

The sequel they did for Yooka-Laylee (which was more like Donkey Kong Country) was pretty good, I hear.

But yeah, the first one was rough.

I agree but I don’t understand why Blizzard wanted to sell the franchise. I suppose only time will tell if this is a good thing. My concern is that Microsoft may no long support Mac users.

Microsoft has never been explicitly anti-Apple (in fact they bailed out Apple in the early 2000’s and AFAIK their company still holds strong investments in the company), there’s a lot of Microsoft software being developed for Apple systems and still actively developed to this day.

That being said, however, Activision has dropped Apple support themselves, and only keep a few projects going for the Apple platform. That is likely going to taper off even over time, and I doubt the Microsoft takeover is going to change that.
