How does this not come off as a slap in the face to zoomers? How is this meant to generate player numbers?
>>729414060Retail wow has had a history of belittling the consumer.https://youtu.be/rOUnAHdTEWQ
>>729414060most zoomers aren't as sensitive as you
>>729414060Because they're not trying to get new players, dude. Everybody who plays WoW, classic or retail, is like 30+ years old. I don't think they're concerned about getting young people to pick up the game.
>>729414060>You will never own a home. So play our game so you can pretend to own one.Holy shit
>>729414174>most zoomers aren't as sensitive as youMeanwhile, back in reality.
>>729414224I think this might be the closest thing to fact, upon further investigation. If someone were to newly join the game today, and venture into the most recent expansion, they would be completely lost to the events that happened from TBC onward. However, that does beg the question: If they didn't plan on bringing in new players, why did they LGBTQ prominent characters and retcon people in stormwind to being black?
Standard tone deaf antiemphathy of the Left. A good game will never come from California again.
No one under 35 cares about any blizzard property it is THE definition of uncslop
>>729414060>Zoomers Most millenials don't even own houses, and this is definitely a millennial-core game. Fortunately, I did manage to buy a house, and without any HOA bullshit.
>>729414060So... does the entire wow expansion depend on the success of player housing, or is there actual gameplay elements to be excited about?
>>729414314Zoomers are just repackaging old material that millennials were spooked by and inspired them to make creeypastas, with the only difference is that they're putting in no effort and yet are actually getting paid. All your post reeks of is jealousy.
>>729414060turtle wow is world of warcraft now. "blizzard" is a collection of green haired fat lesbian art degree women. the white men left after burning crusade
>>729414724Can't even argue that, they're just riding on nostalgia fumes, but no matter how bad they get their fans will keep guzzling it down.The Disney adults of video games.My assumption is that zoomers think of overwatch as a porn thing more than a video game to play.
>>729414865It's more TWW, for the most part. Which is fine, the gameplay is really good right now and they are tightening up classes in the new expansion. They have this nemesis-style feature that is supposed to add more danger in the open world, but I think that will flop.
The quest that was in the dragonflight beta with ChromieAbout the dragonsoul being misplaced in the past and Alexstrasza maybe figuring it out ans escaping from the rape den early.So go back and put it in place, also don't talk to current timeline Alexstrasza about this.It was possibly going to be left in until someone raised a stink about it on twitter.
>>729414596>why did theybecause they're the parasites pretending to be blizzard nowadays. it was their "victory lap", and it rightfully drove away everyone sane that was still mazed
>>729414724>>729414224Let's say for the sake of argument that you're right, and it relies on the 12 million people that have already played the game. Doesn't it rely on keeping those 12 million people happy, content, or at the very least invested in the game? WoW is essentially a nostalgic money printer in that case.
>>729414865it's a glorified patch. they're shameless and cynical enough to split one expansion's worth of content into three
>>729415086has this been done by any other company before?
>>729415273Bungie.
>>729414931>which is fine
>>729414242>cant afford a home in wow either cause the dumbass decor costs too much
>>729414596Because the company and some of the employees were under fire for stealing breast milk or whatever, so that was their way of throwing as much of that shit as possible into the game to show that they really do like blacks and gays. Considering the people who work at Blizzard nowadays, this likely aligns with their real life viewpoints as well and they don't think much about these kinds of changes that come across as incredibly out of place in Warcraft.>>729414998Well yes, all the old people who play WoW are basically going to be playing it forever at this point. Even if people don't play the entire expansion, it's a bunch of people who are paying $15 a month for it and continue to do so. They're not stopping anytime soon. The whales also keep buying store mounts, so it's basically just one of those things that will continue for a seemingly infinite amount of time.
>>729414060Sorry but this is absolutely based. I unironically love wow again
>>729414060I own a home, I just lived with my folks and saved up. I paid off my car and college debt too.Maybe if you have a bad family you can't since not everybody's situation is the same but you can probably find a roommate and split rent at minimum. I didn't even make much, I started at 30k
>>729415393Whoever Made this Machinima really needs to work on their animation skills
>>729414950>It was possibly going to be left in until someone raised a stink about it on twitter.not on your life.
>ads>on the internet
>>729414060The guys who made this are zoomers too
>>729414174>zoomers>implyingThose fuckers are all playing Fortnite or Roblox or whatever the new fotm game is. The only people still playing WoW in 2025 (soon to be 2026) are rapidly aging mentally ill millenials suffering from the world's worst case of sunken cost fallacy.
>>729414998if you are still playing wow at this point you will very likely never quit no matter how much worse the game gets so there is no reason to even try to appeal to you
>>729416228zoomers love classic and all the other private server slop that wants to be classic
>>729416280I cancelled my sub after Dragonflight. it was so trash that I knew it could only get worse from there on.
>>729414060even wow ads promote mixed race couples? amazing
>>729416280You are right I’ll probably never quit but the game has been getting a lot better in recent years. Shadowlands was garbage but tww definately topped bfa cata and wod, a bit below legion and mop. Midnight has potential to the the best in 15 years
I have a conspiracy theory about retail wow. I think they made Shadowlands the worst expansion on purpose, so that every other expansion released from that point on would look better by comparison.
>>729415393Art team carrying
>>729416567case in point>>729416548
>>729416567>tfw shadowlands was so bad that it not only killed wow it killed every other mmo by releasing the wowfugees into them
>>729416567bold strategy cotton lets see if it plays off
>>729416703the plight of veteran FFXIV players.
>>729414060They don't have enough subs to afford ads so they have to get creative.
>>729416567I don't want to believe that they would do something so low like that. but then again...
>>729414998>12 millionlmfao
>>729414170wendy's twitter has ruined an entire generation of marketers
>>729417134Son, are you a retard?
>>729414060Lmao did WoW races became some kind of halloween cosplay
>>729417105Just a reminder that Soros bought a shit ton of shares into Activision-Blizzard and then not even a year later did all of the rape allegations start happening that completely shifted the internal workings of the company that led to people like JAB stepping down and many of the old guard being let go.
>>729414998>Doesn't it rely on keeping those 12 million people happy, content, or at the very least invested in the game?NoThe people still playing aren't actually human, they are sunk cost NPCst. literally knew one of these "people". he married a single mom lmao
>>729414314kek, zoomers are so retarded
>>729414174
>>729417745well, on the bright side, he's got a wife... i guess.
>>729414724decent amount of zoomers like diablo
>>729417628And Bobby says that the whole thing was orchestrated as an internal coup by unionists.
>>729421362Genuinely speaking, it's California, so I wouldn't be surprised if that were actually true.>Let's unionize so we can never be ousted, gatekeep every straight white male from the dev team, and then keep ruining the game forever!Great plan.
