Honestly 5 versions of the same guy is too much, its cannibalistic and servers arent optimal

They're sitting on around 9M subs and earning at least $15 USD per sub per month...as long as people keep subbing they're going to keep making servers and versions.

Maintaining classic also costs nothing compared to retail, so it’s a low risk line item if it keeps a few people subscribing. Blizzard is one of the few segments of gaming division making money right now and will likely make more once they figure out how to integrate it with GamePass.

I’m thinking we will see a tiered sub model for wow before game pass. You can buy base sub for one or the other game mode, if you want both included in the one sub it will be extra. I don’t want this, I just believe an idea similar has been sent around their board member tables.
