This seems an incredible loss of subscribers(from 10M to 7M in 3 months) especially considering that didn't WoW just release a new expansion?
While there must have been some subscriber loss,
my hunch is that Blizzard simply changed reporting on what they consider a subscriber (ie Internet Cafes in Asia and so on).
Could be that I am just biased against Business Insider stories.
- justjimmy 11y agoIt's the biggest/sharpest drop in WoW history. I used to go back to WoW once in a while, just to get back in a familiar surroundings, check out new content etc. But I've missed the last 2 expansions cause it is so different now. It's a completely different game, and it just moves further away from what a MMORPG is with each expansion. I don't think calling it a MMO is even accurate anymore…
- atom-morgan 11y agoWhy is that? What would you consider it now?
- zcdziura 11y agoWhat do you mean by that? By all accounts, it's still an MMO (heck, even with the subscriber loss, it's the most successful MMO out there).

- zamalek 11y agoI think it's also because the WoW generation has now grown up. We don't have the time to commit to it any more. That and, despite a commendable effort to upgrade the game, it is showing its age obnoxiously.
