While I agree, that an argument can be made about Shadowlands being abandoned earlier, I think it's fair to assume that correlates to working from home.
I mean, we're one week from July, and the expansion is supposed to come out before 31th of December, but since I think Blizzard doesn't wanna do a release on holidays, it's also fair to assume that any release after the 15th of December would be a disaster.
So, let's say the expansion will release on the 20th of December, just to get the full six months time-frame, we still didn't get:
- Preview of most Talent Trees, Professions Rework, Dragon Riding;
- Datamining;
- Alpha;
- Beta;
- Even the "pre" expansion book is slated to release in 2023;
It's hard to not be concerned about it.
I'm sad about all this because I think if Dragonflight fails as well, it'll be endgame. Shadowlands was terrible in every aspect IMO, even the general MMO feeling that WoW had for nearly 20 years was lost.
Everyone seems to be playing this game for just a couple of weeks every patch for cheap lore and then quit, there's no more population-critical mass to sustain the MMO acronym.
What happens if Dragonflight fails?
I'm deeply concerned...![]()
