I don’t want a single cent going to the clownshow that is Retail. I don’t like it, I don’t play it, I want nothing to do with it or its developers, community and staff, especially don’t want to support it with my money.
Ahm in case u didnt notice ur money goes to retail aswell, blizzard made a game 17 years ago. activision just re-released it to make some $, but they done it on retail standards and based on retail audience, or atleas this the direction they want go with. Downgrade classic to retail standards… COZ it hurts soo bad every 2 years spending some thousand $$ to make an expansion only to tell u that is garbage compared to the original old game back from 05, and see it sink and subs cancel, and worst part being a game inherited and not made by activision. Atm the biggest rival of retail is not other mmos, but classic. If they can kill, retail dominates.
Get over it, u think too muc, develop me @sh, it all boils down to $$$. Activision care more for lawsuits than humiliating an employ… do even think they gonna bother with developing?
Bad news for you guys. Blizzard already told in a look behind about the costs that nearly all the subscription cost is going into server management because of Inflation and increasing costs. And as Blizzard unified the code their is only one department that goes for all three games to ensure that the servers are running.
So a Classic only Subscription would not work as not even a quarter of the monthly fee goes towards content development. Now if you do not want Blizzard to give money for retail do not buy anything that is only for Retail.
