    BFA now at 1.7 million subscriptions

    https://www.thenerdmag.com/rumor-bli...e-for-azeroth/

    First off, we must emphasize that this is not an official news. This was rumored when a new API for develope.battle.net was launched. Allegedly the new API was leaking player subscription end dates among other info. It was then reported that at the start of Battle for Azeroth, the sub count was somewhere near 3.2 million. Right now the sub count is 1.7 million which is 1.5 million less than the initial count. It is further alleged that 25% of the current 1.7 million are secondary purchases which is 425,000.

    Already debunked, and already a topic about this.
    Appreciate your time with friends and family while they're here. Don't wait until they're gone to tell them what they mean to you.

    Because if they would start answering to every mindless no name no source rumor they would be doing nothing else.

    This thread needs to be closed. We don't know for sure if WA is correct or not. Till blizz says something, people need to stop making threads about this shit. WE get it. BFA isn't great. We get it. People are unsubbing. We get it all. Stop making threads about this.

    If you post this, would you mind posting the read of WeakAura's twitter posts?

    You know, the post about no proof, no source, no post, no confirmation, no nothing?

    Ah, you noticed. Ignore the previous bit then.

    Well, Blizz did say officially: n an announcement after the release of Battle of Azeroth, Blizzard claimed that it was the fastest-selling World of Warcraft expansion of all-time, with over 3.4 million units sold on the first day.

    THIS WAS NOT DEBUNKED.

    i want to make clear, this WAS NOT PROVEN FALSE. WE HAVE NO IDEA WHETHER IT IS TRUE OR NOT.

    SOMEONE POSTED DATA SHOWING THIS COULD BE POSSIBLE. ALL BLIZZARD POSTED IN RESPONSE WAS THAT IT WASN'T TRUE, THAT IS NOT PROOF THAT IT'S FALSE.

    if they show sub numbers and prove it wrong, THAT is proof that it's wrong.

    i only used caps so it's more visible.

    So wait..

    You make a thread saying "THIS" and then preface the thread by saying "Not official" and the the actual thing is "Rumor made by a guy who already apologized for the mistake"

    Maybe change thread name?

    This has about as much credibility as Trump-Russia collusion

    Don't we have to prove that an allegation is false, instead of true?

    Blizzard says it's false. I'm gonna take that with a grain of salt.

    So if the creator of recount says sub numbers are 20 million. And his source vanished . Will we believe him to until proven other wise ?

    *shrugs*
    Blizz has no problems reporting sub numbers from Overwatch.
    But remarkably silent about the numbers for WoW.

    the guy that apologized isn't the one that "leaked" the potentially true data. he was just reporting on the data.

    he was told it was false by blizzard, with ZERO PROOF SHOWN.

    this has no been debunked, because the people with the power to immediately debunk it WILL NOT DO IT. they have all the power in the world to show this is fake, but they won't.

    ask yourself why they won't.

    if his source was seen by other people, yeah.

    this dude's source was seen by other people. then it vanished off the face of the earth and has been tamped down everywhere it's spoken about again, and the people with the power to prove it wrong won't put out the numbers to prove it wrong.

    there's more evidence that it's true than false currently. i'm willing to believe blizzard, they're the ones with the numbers for a 100% fact, let them show it's false.

    There never was a true source. Their "source" was a post from a different forum that had literally no evidence to back it up and suggested such absurdities that over 50 percent of the playerbase was using weakauras, which is nowhere even remotely true.

    Edit: Instead of continuing to spew this garbage actually go to the thread and READ what was going on before you embarrass yourself further.

    They have no reason to. Just like I have no reason to prove that I have twenty million dollars in my bank account. They have no reason to have to 'prove' anything, because people will just speculate whatever they want anyway.

    What we do know is

    1) It was only partial data
    2) The source has confirmed it's false
