When Microsoft owns Blizzard?

Are there any MMORPGs on a game pass? I don’t think even ESO’s stuff changed when a new parent company took over. And the changes made there took years.
If we see that happen, it’s not going to be for a very long time.

I can see Microsoft doing this.

They did add ESO to Gamepass but then took it back off. There are no other MMORPGs atm.
Hope so. Imagine paying $17 a month and getting not just WoW, but thousands of other games, plus new releases.
Daddy MIcrosoft, please put WoW on GP.

Because consumers are saving money, this is a terrible idea and must be shot down immediately.

Definally make WoW worthy of the title “Cheapest entertainment” if it happens. It’s nothing but a positive for gamers.

Did that deal not get killed by the competition bureau.
No, the FTC lost their lawsuit to try and temporarily stop the deal from going through.

I hope not. Why would they? WoW’s sub is like the golden goose.
I don’t want any other games and I don’t want to pay more for WoW.

I’d love it to be so but only time will tell.
Good news. Game Pass PC edition is only $9.99. Ultimate is the model that cost $17.
You get to pay less if they bring it to GP.

ESO is available on Xbox Game Pass but has never been available on PC Game Pass for whatever reason (maybe some licensing deal with Stadia prevented ESO from being on PC Game Pass).
However, ESO had already switched to a buy-to-play with optional subscription model way back in 2015, long before Microsoft bought Zenimax/Bethesda. Of course WoW DOES have the bonus perks for subscribing 6 months at a time already, so maybe WoW could potentially become available on Game Pass? Who knows.
It’s certainly possible that they’ve already got plans in place for the possibility of WoW being on Game Pass.
We’ll see what happens. The deal is supposed to close on the 18th. And they might announce some things at Blizzcon.

Why would they? There is no profit in putting wow on game pass. We already pay the $15 and why would they put it in game pass for free expansions when they know we will buy it. They literally would be throwing money away. Why buy the cow when you already get the milk?
I hope wow goes to consoles and the game pass
Ever since gold was put on the cash shop, this game has become a lot different and the current wow team delivers little passion and shows a serious disconnect for understanding what entertains players and makes the world engaging
this thing is just design by numbers now
so take it to consoles, add it to the pass, get a lot more players, get any other company involved to see if they will care about providing value to players instead of just using metrics driven design to stripmine the playerbase

While I would love it. Save me some money.
I dont see the incentive for Microsoft to add it.
Technically yes, ESO.
But you get no expansions and the sub is not included.
So WoW, a purely subscription based mmo, getting added to the game pass is incredibly unlikely.
Edit: sounds like its only on xbox game pass, so PC game pass has no MMOs.
