Why? I’d love a comprehensive explanation.
The pros for doing so seem clear.
It helps draw market attention back to WoW during its typical post launch slump.
It’d be a shock to the typical tempo, enticing to current, new, and potential returning players.
As WoW/the game market is nearly entirely digital now, box features are no longer as relevant as they were 20 years ago.
Blizzard has already tested this with Aug release and new game modes like Plunderstorm and SoD. New content brings in players.
What’cha got?
