I guess we have to repeat this until everyone gets it.
This is in response to someone not understanding the massive unsubbing that happened during WoD when Blizz announced in a polygon interview there’d be no more flying going forward (link is visible in the post I responded to, followed by a link to the response from Blizzard 19 days later apologizing that they didn’t understand how important flying was to the players so they’d be putting in Pathfinder.)
That happened. The numbers are out there and you can see for yourself. And it happened only 6 months after the launch of WoD, almost to the day.
There’s also a link in my post to a Forbes article how WoW lost almost half of its subs in only 6 months.
