i don't like the game therefore it is dead! Reeeeedid you even read my post? The numbers are irrelevant. The gameplay is utter trash. The soul of the game is gone. The people who made the game the masterpiece that it was are gone. The people remaining are amateurs who have no passion reminiscent to kosak, morhaime, or metzen. The game was their baby. It was made with delicate design and true desire to create something people wanted to explore. That is the hallmark of any piece of art that is alive, with soul. Wow in 2020 lacks all of that. It is now purely a monetization scheme that relies on psychologically manipulative mechanics in order to maximize “player engagement”. Modern wow is not art, like games should be.
Therefore, it is dead.
