WoW seems to have passed its local minimum, partly due to no longer being a single game anymore with classic and the seasonal editions. I can see them thinking remasters are a way to get a few more tie in franchise sales from those players, maybe somewhat cheaply. Throw in a tie-in mount/whatever for WoW and you'll have players buy it without any intention of actually playing it.
