Was just thinking about this and I'm going to make a few predictions now


1. they'll do WoW 2.0 where they basically reset the entire game
2. they'll press the big red button and release Sargeras
3. they'll add features people have been asking for, for years, like housing etc
4. all of the above + some sort of bent discount

I don't feel that bad for Blizzard, they have been screwing people for decades by keep charging both for the monthly right to play and then every expansion at the same time.

Oh, I don't either. In fact, I would only respect them again if somehow Blizzard breaks away from Activision, stopped pandering to the Chinese Market and go back to their roots... that's likely never going to happen but we can always dream.

Activision, pandering to the Chinese Market and trying to constantly keep investors happy destroyed Blizzard.

Well China now have a law that only allows the kids to game for three hours a week so maybe they will..

Three hours a week: Play time's over for China's young video gamers

China has forbidden under-18s from playing video games for more than three hours a week, a stringent social intervention that it said was needed to pull the plug on a growing addiction to what it once described as "spiritual opium".

I mean, how the hell do you adapt gameplay to something like that anyway?
