Shadowlands release date: November 23, 2020
You can see how the numbers goes up for both games during Shadowland expansion (people leaving in higher numbers and moving into these two games). And since
Activision/Blizzard doesn't dare to show their real numbers anymore, I'm afraid, i have to use the numbers of the other games to show the flow of players moving into these games. Other MMO's are missing from my numbers, because i don't play them, but i bet their numbers also went up.
Shadowlands has been the worst expansion since CATA:
https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/w...ft-shadowlands
User Score: 4.3.
Cata:
https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/w...raft-cataclysm
User Score: 5.8
Legion:
https://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/w...arcraft-legion
User Score: 7.5
I mention the User Score, because is the real score based on the player base. Not payed critics.

This is also a poor excuse to not see the reality of Activision/Blizzard World or Warcraft situation that this company is living today.

Why the Lawsuit is important to this discussion? Because it affects the quality of what its being delivered to the players. August and September has been a "Damage Control" for Blizzard. They have started to make changes to the game, in a hurry to keep the players from leaving the game. These changes are not for being "the good devs that listen to the player base", its more like a desperate measure to reduce the damage done to the game popularity and the company reputation.
When you ask something like:
Do you have any subscription data to back up your claims? You clearly know that we lack the subscription numbers, because Blizzard removed them the moment they started to lose subs and that started to look bad on their board presentations to the investors. So please, stop pretending that game is "doing great", because it isn't.
