Not really accurate.
DF sold 6 million copies. Sl sold 12 million copies, BFA sold 9 million copies and so did Legion.
Its obvious why the posts are happening and the answers obvious.
Blizzard took a huge law suit against it. Several worker protests with workers speaking out about working conditions.
And to top it all off, the game released 2 back to back expansions which the player despised.
DF doesnt have the numbers. Because DF didjt sell to begin with, because theres not a singular expansion concept thats gonna ressurect the games condition at this point.
They spent too long in the borrowed power era, and they burnt alot of bridges in the process and the games paying for its continous mistake.
However:
DF hit a record for player retention compared to the games recent expansions. This means, DF has held more players comparitively.
So saying theyre falling, is tbh uninformed at best, and a outright lie at worst, there are no numbers to make such a bases off. Game didnt sell as well we know this. But we also know theres a TON of factors to why it didnt.
TLDR.
All statistics show WoW isnt plummeting numbers. The reason content creators are worried is because DFs sales are half of the norm. However that isnt DFs fault. There are outside factors that have driven players to boycott Blizzards games. Trying to say otherwise is making information up, there are litterally 0 numbers 0 statistics and no evidence of the games player count.
DF is fine.
Its not exceptional, and it isnt exciting either. It rectified alot of issues, however introduced nothing new. Core players stick around but theres nothing to get players wanting to get back into the game.
It feels like the game just took the safe option, sell what they know their primary playerbase will want. Take 0 risks on anything new.
