So from this information its obvious that Activision are now strongly going to go down the path of creating mobile games using their existing IP thats where there main focus will be and probably where the bulk of these 2000 new developers are going to end up. They can see that there is a slow decline in blizzards products which on the whole are not mobile and growth in call of duty driven by the new mobile products, also king has much greater profit margins than blizzard. the negative impact on this for anyone hoping for a WOW 2 thats likely not going to happen.
It was postulated that you cannot say that SL sold 3.7M in day one because if preorders. So Valorant, which has sold millions through early access(EA) should only report its actual day one sales and it include all of the preorder and EA sales. Which would show it didn't sell many on day 1. Or CP2077. I'm sure if you take out all the preorders, it didn't sell the huge day 1 numbers it claimed.
Just looking holes at the irrational anti-Blizzard talk when ever these things pop up.
What's interesting, Blizzard is having less MAUs during Shadowlands' first months than it had during BfA's last.
Just compare Q1/20 (release of 8.3) and Q1/21 (+1 month after Shadowlands' launch) and MAUs dropped significantly.
Q1/19: 32m MAUs
Q1/20: 32m MAUs
Q1/21: 27m MAUs
That's a drop of 15% although Shadowlands is just 1-4 months old, whereas BfA was 5-7 months old in Q/19 and 17-19 months old in Q1/20. So Blizzard is losing players overall, but their microtransactions rise - this is not a good development for the future of the studio and us as players.

I'm assuming you mean P2W because you can buy gold to buy stuff in the AH. If that is the case, don't you find it a bit odd that the winning you are paying for comes months after the game was won? I mean you have that have items in the AH, provided by people already doing the winning to be able to buy said item to then go ahead and win.
It literally makes no sense. If Blizzard added too end raid gear to the store sure. But mental gymnastics are needed to believe that it's actually P2W.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, we know, the numbers are SUPERB. It's not like they would ever admit failure to their shareholders.

Just took a look at the numbers and summaries. Everything looking good. Surely the "community " of mmoc won't have anything to complain about. Open this thread...oh.
Lol you guys are too much. "They're lying!" "They're twisting the numbers!!!" (As you twist the numbers) lmao
