At this point it would be a miracle if Blizzard weathered the storm. They'd be quite the heroes if they did. More like Saints after being canonized by the Catholic church for that type of miracle.

Like Jason would be all over this, If this was remotely true it wouldn't be some anonymous person on the internet posting it. I don't know. We've had leaks before that didn't happen through Schreier, or even covered by him, after the fact. We've had some accurate WoW leaks from 4 chan. The entire plot of Shadowlands leaked from some anonymous poster, about a year before release and nobody believed it, just because it was that bad. Turns out, it was that bad. And I only found it from a twitter post. Just because Schreier didn't cover it, doesn't make it fake. It's probably fake, but I wouldn't discount it entirely. Its more then just Schreier not covering it makes it come across as false, its just part of the equation for me. Like I said in my post that you took that line from the big flag is making a completely new MMORPG is a major red flag. Blizzard cancelled Titan for various reasons and rebranded what they had into Overwatch. I just don't see them having a new MMO ready to go in a few years, but they are abandoning the millions upon millions from World of Warcraft because they became the second biggest MMO over the period of a month?

WoW has been on a steady decline for years. It's not because they are the second MMO. Their attempts to fix it have been failures and the current image of the game is that it's dead. updates are not rolling in and the idea that the next update will turn things around, especially under the current climate, is a pipe dream. WoW will not recover. It makes sense to keep it in maintenance mode, with no further updates, since that is a sunken cost fallacy and better to move on to something new, that wipes the slate clean, especially since they fucked the lore pretty bad. It's time for WoW to get a "reboot" and take cues from a game that has managed to capture the good will and attention of the younger gaming public.

Legion proves this wrong, if they can make a good expansion regardless of what people think or even a full year of no new content players will come back if the expansion is good. So you want to make the arguement they are going to copy elements of FFXIV and abandon the focus on raiders that Shadowlands has developed I can agree with something like that. Abandoning a MMO just to release a new MMO is a huge risk that isn't a guarantee that it would fix anything especially with the perception of players and I don't see how the image of World of Warcraft wouldn't be projected onto any MMO that Blizzard makes. MMOs as a whole have lost players over the years and I just don't see a company wanting to invest so heavily in making a new one now when they already have one that is still making them money.

First of all, good on you for believing that, after the past few failures, Blizzard can just turn things around with the next expansion, or the one after that, or the one after that, or the one after that, etc. when the game is clearly on a decline they can't seem to snap it out of. All that time they would be spending time making failed expansions, not to mention invested capital, could be spent into a new game, an updated engine that isn't still single threaded bound, in 20-fucking-21 and free of all the lore fuckups that WoW has been bogged down with, over the past few expansions. It's why Tim Sweeney pushed so hard for the Epic Game Store, when Fortnite was making billions for them, exactly because, at some point, the money would stop coming in from there. It failed, because EGS was a fucking joke, but his head was in the right place.

No idea if they can turn it around or not, but I don't think making a new expansion has any more chance of success then making a new MMO. Just that making a new MMO has a higher financial cost if it doesn't work combined with inherent problems of being a new MMO.

Just that making a new MMO has a higher financial cost if it doesn't work combined with inherent problems of being a new MMO. You can still use the Warcraft IP for that new MMO, you can get rid of all the problems with the lore and the characters that the last few expansions have risen to, give it a new look, i.e. not something from 2005, and technically contemporary (I can't stress how much of a bottleneck it is to have an MMO play on an engine that is CPU single threaded bound still, in 2021) and take gameplay queues from games that have risen to the forefront of the genre and just as WoW would be reaching non viable numbers, or possibly going F2P, in 2026-27, you present a brand new alternative. So instead of making 2 expansion in the meantime, that will not fix the problems that the game is currently facing and won't snap it out of its downward spiral, you make a new game, with the same budget. Maybe it fails too, but it's not like the expansions would have succeeded, either.

Good. Not sure how Ubisoft is escaping their wrath, but EA smells like a rose covered in dollars. Murikan politics is a cesspool of dirty money.

There's been a lot of buzz around Black Myth since its first trailer about a year ago. They just put out a new one yesterday, but bear in mind it is still just a vertical slice. Get a first look at Black Myth: Wukong with NVIDIA DLSS captured on GeForce RTX in Unreal Engine 5 and check out the action-RPG’s gameplay, story, beautiful visuals, and cutscenes: www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/... Developed by Game Science, Black Myth: Wukong is an action-adventure game themed around the legendary Chinese novel, Journey to the West. It’s a story full of intriguing characters and thought-provoking dialogue, and in combination with high-quality graphics, will bring the Eastern fantasy world to life for all gamers.

The Remake's Saints are easily the least threatening looking fictional criminal gang in recent memory. It seems like they'll sooner take to twitter to cancel someone over pronouns instead of robbing banks or having shootouts with cops. Just Look at Steve Urkel's shoulders and arms? Dude shoots up on soy and onions.

That the basis for the crew becoming a gang is to make money to pay off student loans...Hopefully that's not true because lol Update: It is official, it's in the newer video where the devs talk about about the game and show some actual footage
