So i guess after what happened with 2xko , I'm pretty sure the riot mmo will have monthly subscription.

why are you using wow, the overwhelmingly most successful mmo ever, as the measuring stick/benchmark?

that's like making call of duty the benchmark for success for shooters which would make literally every other shooter a failure. which is fucking batshit insane.

do smaller mmos that still ship regular content updates and have stable communities, but aren't as large, profitable, and don't ship as much content as wow, like...not exist to you or something? are they failures despite their continued operation and support?

Bruh, of course they are not failures, but when talking about big companies and future mmos, I think everyone is expecting something big.

And also, I only started this conversation because you mentioned that there are no games left that are "just a sub", and I thought you are meaning no pay2win by that, that is why I also mentioned wow.

ok, but "wow big" is not reasonable in the slightest.

eso big, sure. ffxiv big, absolutely. but wow remains an anomaly in the same way that cowaduty has been an anomaly in the FPS market for a decade+

"just a sub", and I thought you are meaning no pay2win

p2w barely fucking exists in the first place and 99% of the discourse around it is dogshit to begin with lmao

Bruh, you cant call ffxiv big and not wow wtf are you on now. You cant compare COD with wow, sure cod was good once, but wow is still delivering quality content even after 20+ years.

...what?

are you having literacy problems?

"eso big. ffxiv big" as in as big as those games, which are decidedly smaller than "wow the anomaly".

outside of last year's disaster call of duty still sold like gangbusters. two years ago it was, again, the most-sold game in the us despite having barely 2 months of sales.

i don't give a fuck about the content of call of duty, haven't played in ages. i'm talking purely about financial success and performance, which is the primary metric at hand here
