Suggestion - One subscription for all games.

[Soon-TM]

Atm the only Blizzard game I'm playing (and only from time to time) is SC remastered. Adding a fee on top would mean that I would no longer play it, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

[FelPlague]

maybe 25 or 30 to be fair but all that for the price of one and imagine the future WoW expansions also come free if you have a subscription and in the future if you're unsubbed you just have to subscribe to get it.

or just... buy the other games and you will save hundreds of dollars...

[Alopex Major]

No way. I don't want to pay for games I don't play.

[Lochton]

Imagine this. Say you pay your monthly fee of $15 but it gives you access to not only WoW but other game features such as:
Monthly 5 guaranteed legendary lootboxes in Overwatch [Since there's no subscription required for Overwatch]
Access to all Diablo expanded content.
Access to all HOTS characters.
Access to all Starcraft bonus content.
Retail/Classic Subscription + all previous expansion packs
Hearthstone - Legendary card packs
Warcraft Reforged - New and free monthly added reskins, maps and heroes.

Eh, so, you want it to make other things seem less free than it is?

Only games that needs a subscription is Retail WoW and Classic.

[micwini]

Because subscribing to those products is not worth 15 dollars a month. Yes, that means WoW, too. Many people, myself included, wouldn't play it in its current state even if it was free, therefore paying for it is totally out of the question.

Ah I see. I didn't consider the fact that there are people that still follow the game, but don't actually play.

[Self Inflicted Wounds]

This is how cable got to the way it is in the US. If it is really only 15, then great. But we know it'll be more than that. I don't play overwatch, I don't want an increased subscription.

[stresskiller]

just farm enough gold in wow sell tokens for $ or € and buy the other games for free and you can still play wow for free + the other games

[Unlimited Power]

The only game I still consistently play from Blizzard is WoW, so raising the subscription price in exchange for mostly cosmetic rewards in games I don't play seems like a terrible value proposition to me. Frankly the only other games I've any intention of playing is Warcraft Reforged (which I bought immediately as it was announced) and D2 remaster whenever Blizzard eventually release it.

[AmazonDruid]

No company would ever do this it’s a horrible business decision.

It's Illegal to sell something attached to a different product in some countries. Blizzard would have an Herculean job if they want to revise this.

[Puupi]

Ah I see. I didn't consider the fact that there are people that still follow the game, but don't actually play.

Most people on this website fall into that category.

[Teri]

I still pop in Diablo 3 from time to time, and play Hearthstone for the gold quest/tavern brawl/solo content. Paying for that, no ty.

Even if there's a Diablo 4 with expansions, I'd rather pay once up front and not be tied up to a subscription that ends up costing more.

WoW players (the only Blizzard subscription model right now) already have their option to get bnet balance out of their in-game gold, and access to Classic.

Free content for a subscription is not free, and putting it at some "monthly free content" is a terrible evil marketing strategy putting content behind the rush of limited availability.

Cosmetics are already behind a money wall, so just buy your stuff there, or via Twitch Prime which already exists.

[Machismo]

They could offer it, I wouldn't buy it.

I cancelled my WoW subscription that had been going since 2005 on the first night of Blizzcon. I had been hyped for Classic for years (or whatever they were going to call it), and after their recent business decisions, I think there's only a very small chance that I even play Classic, since it's bundled in with the main subscription.

Thats a wonderful idea. What should the sub be? 50? 100 ? Its about time we do something about all those pesk millions of f2p gamers on the other blizzard games.

A too-large percentage of these forums are people who proudly declare they no longer play/haven't played, some going back to WoD, yet meticulously go through patch notes and blue posts to find things to claim about. Like a jealous ex stalking their ex on facebook to find incriminating things to show to their friends to justify jumping them.

So let me see if I understand this logic. You were playing retail, you were paying your $15 a month to play retail. And upon being told you would get to be able to play classic for free alongside playing retail, decided you now wanted to play neither because......

No, I quit retail, because it was a horrible expansion, and it's clear Blizzard lost its focus in regards to making games. The join subscription was not why I quit. I thought they announced the joint subscription at a different time. I have decided that I may not play Classic, because the state of retail is so poor, that I don't want to support one, while supporting the other. I apologize if that was confusing.

[Sicarius87]

Yeah no. I really only play WoW. I dont need that other crap.

Yeah, the way it read to me was "I'm enjoying retail, paying for retail, but am looking forward to classic. WTH? I'm getting classic for free for paying for retail. I'm quitting both!"

OTOH I can see a good population of people paying the sub to be able to play classic and not even touch retail. There's always that option for me.

I think there will be a fair number of people doing that, I just may not be one of them. I think people got a bit too complacent with Blizzard, and forgave them too many times. As excited as I was to see Classic, I'm not sure I will ever give Blizzard another penny.

What about those with no interest in Starcraft, Hots, Diablo 3, hearthstone, OW, or current wow? Why should my sub fee for wow classic be raised just so weaker less popular games can get funding? Let them die

[Unholyground]

An EA access like sub as an alternative to gain access to all their games for 1 fee including wow would be great as an option especially if new games become available instantly on it, also if WoW expansions were included in the sub fee too holy hell would they make a ton more money.

Now that being said as long as you can keep things as they are currently as well then I see no issue.

It isn't a question of if it will happen but just when it will happen.
