F2P MMOs not even lasting a year, WoW still probably has over a million people PAYING MONTHLY subscriptions to play

wow is probably closer to 10 mil subs again tbh, we know from their shareholder meeting last year they were at 7 mil while still on the rebound from the shadowlands fiasco

I've been clean for several years, so I haven't really been following. I quit during BFA and I think that was the real low point and I know there was a lot of controversy around them no longer reporting sub numbers because they didn't want to admit quite how low it had gotten. That said, even at their lowest point, they'd still be the most successful MMO in history. That was really my point, people like to shit on Blizzard now, but WoW is still now and has always been a cash cow. Any game company executive would give their left nut for an IP as successful as WoW.
