I was checking some "most played/popular game" lists because someone mentioned that wow was dying but even though wow is not dying, it's not close to the top either. The top of multiplayer game lists are completely dominated by fps games of all kinds. There is the rare exception of LoL which isn't even an MMORPG. MMORPG games have fallen apart with wow still being the king and poe being competent. It's kinda funny though that wow can't even compete with the "bottom" of the top fps games. It feels as if everyone can launch a shooter game and profit a ton.
What's going on? why is this genre so popular? I don't dislike it personally but I prefer RPG.
Old Blizzard wouldn't stay apathetic to this situation, they have to do something about consoles and mobiles, they must join this market and adjust their game.
