    I dont get that mail since Blizzard already earns the maximum from me: Month to Month subs

    I get any other mail from them though, which is kinda natural. "We want you to quit the game and instead plant flowers outside" isn't the mail we get lol

    Even Minecraft?
    Like literally the best selling game PERIOD is more popular than world of warcraft? Say it aint so!

    I mean Warcraft isn't even in the top 10 of that list (it is top 20)


    Like that's less a "Even Minecraft is more popular" and more a no shit its more popular. Hell the reaction to the minecraft movie vs the reaction to the warcraft movie should of tipped you off (Hell blizz practically had to bribe people to see Warcraft)

    I mean 3 indie games are above wow right now and the fucking Oregan Trail.
    3 Major Rules of World of Warcraft Players:
    1. No one on earth wants to play World of Warcraft less than other World of Warcraft players.
    2. The desire to win>The desire for anything else in World of Warcraft. NO EXCEPTIONS
    3. Efficiency will be king no matter how you think it will improve the game.

    Pokemon was at 480 million sales worldwide as of March 2024 but yeah it's a juggernaut. Games, movies, tv show and it broke into the mobile market easily too with Go

    Pokemon is the most profitable media franchise in the world. Of course its surpassing WoW.

    Pokemon is surpassing Disney, Star Wars, Hello Kitty. Marvel, DC, Transformers. All are mortals beneath the long shadow of Pokemon.

    And I consumed a lot of Skyrim between MoP and Legion
    I assume that means you don't spend a lot of time ingame? I don't think there's been a single expansion that I played continuously for more than maybe two patches.

    Haha yeah, I hope people aren't disappointed when they hear Blizzard in its entirety doesn't even scratch the surface of Pokémon's profitability.

    Hello Kitty is VERY heavily Asian skewed though, I don't think you're shocking anyone on MMO-C by saying Pokémon is more profitable.

    Nope. Only 3 days of my week I realistically have time to sit down and play a videogame and by the time saturday rolls around I have a week long itch to log in and play, I haven't owned a video game console since nintendo gamecube. WoW is the only game I have time for so its the only game I care to talk about on forums anymore. Some times I play cozy games like Frontier's planet series and I used to have a mobile gacha but I shook that habit.
