I’m curious to know how the subscription will work - will it just be two subs or you get full access with gamepass sub?

Seems like it’d be a dumb move financially to combine them, but idk much about game pass.
People who already have game pass + wow now drop their wow sub (good for people, bad for revenue)
People who already have wow and want to try stuff on game pass would probably just add it on top of wow.
People who already had game pass and no wow aren’t going to add much new revenue if they pick up wow for free now. Even RMT increases from new game pass wow players would likely come at the expense of RMT decreased from other games they were spending on.
Maybe im just missing it?

Your title is incorrect - they didn’t say “all”, just that Blizzard/Activision games are coming.
While WoW is still possible (despite the many issues that would imply) it’s in no way a sure thing yet.
Personally I don’t see gamepass ever substituting for a wow sub.

Pretty sure like 90% of the WoW sub population doesn’t even know what a Xbox game pass is nor have it.

Pretty sure you just made that statistic up. $9.99 for PC Game Pass is a great deal and a lot of people know about it.

Ok then I’ll say this then:
Pretty sure majority of the WoW player base doesn’t even know what a Xbox game pass is, so it’s not like they’ll lose money.

They would instantly lose money because a game pass sub is cheaper than a WoW sub.

Not if you make wow a Xbox game pass ultimate exclusive. So that wow can be on PC and Xbox
$16.99 a month
Okay, so what would be the point of going through Gamepass then for WoW?
How many games on game pass are set up like that? Hint: The answer is 0
Also, WOW isn’t going to Xbox.

The money is going to be more complicated here. They have to look at retention rates for subs vs. game pass vs. how much new game passes this move could net them, and so on.
You can’t play some of the Xbox games on PC unless you do cloud gaming, which the ultimate provides
So yeah there is some exclusive
You mean an* Xbox game.
Since the sounding counts, it has a vowel and not consonant starting the next word. So you can’t say a and then add a vowel sounding word.

This…I don’t have consoles anymore except for Switch. Aren’t exclusives the way of the dinosaur? Why do you need an Xbox and a PC? PC master race all the way.

Sure, MS is going to give up a guaranteed monthly revenue stream of $10M to $15M just to put wow on game pass.

It doesn’t make financial sense for WoW.
Maaaaybe for WoW classic? Maybe. But not retail.
All other Blizz games make sense though.
This, lmao
not true steam and with free xbox account thats it

As much as I would love to combine my Game Pass and WOW sub into a single fee… I don’t see them putting WOW on Game Pass. Microsoft wants to make money and they would make more money having players pay two subscriptions.
did they actually state that ALL Blizzard games are coming, or did they state that some Blizzard games are coming, starting with Diablo…
Because I do not recall seeing or hearing…well anything in regard to WoW in that podcast.
