A minimum viable population in nature is the lower boundary in which a species can survive in the wild. Any lower and it suffers from an extreme risk of extinction.
Given the recent earnings call it's made me question exactly what population WoW needs to be sustainable. There must surely be some point in which the plug would be pulled if current trends continue.
This is not a thread consisting of the following:
- WoW is dying
- WoW is not dying
- WoW will go F2P some point in the near future
- A discussion in itself concerning the earnings call
All I'm interested in is what people think the minimum viable population of WoW is before it reaches a considerably high chance of being ended.
