No beef, I was just really wondering, it is the 3rd iteration of WoW now. Wouldnt it make sense to make atleast the classic classic free?
I honestly think it could make the warcraft universe more accessible to more players.
well it is free your sub is kinda really only for so called “retail” meanwhile u get classic classic fresh, sod, cata classic, Classic era and classic hardcore.
Then let me rephrase it: they could really consider classic classic, outside of the subscription

You play for the infrastructure cost needed to run the game. Also bot-gating.
Blizzard is providing you a service, no matter how poor they run it, and it comes with a15 eur price tag. Supply and demand, Free market and whatnot. You dont have to play it.
Shareholders need more money, it’s like breathing to them, it’s the most necessary thing to their existence, money
money all day everyday
mo money mo problems

It is more profitable for them to charge a sub fee because people are willing to pay it. Also, if it was free, this game would see an absolutely insane increase in botting. Presently the bots have overheads to pay, which is the sub fee. If it was free, a single botter could run thousands of accounts at the same time provided they had the hardware to do so.
Finally, it’s 9.99 per month. Were mostly a bunch of middle aged people playing this game, not little kids. Is IRL really that bad for enough people that they can’t afford 9.99? If that is the case, they shouldn’t play at all and need to raise their profession skills IRL instead.
also trial accounts work only for Retail - bloody unfair
Do you think it was free for Blizzard to create and now host on servers?
Also: What would stop the bots if game was free? We would see even MORE bots …
Because people are willing to.
I laughed hard at bot-gating
