The standard is that pay2win games are free2play. But the standard doesnt apply to Blizzard. They still think they are some kind of premium developer when in reality they are pretty much the worst AAA developer today. But the competition is hard, Bethesda, EA and Ubisoft are fighting hard for the title. WoW is buy2play, has a subscription AND microtransasctions. Blizzard in 2022 is greed, greed, greed and no substance.
