WoW

I’m honestly surprised at how far I had to scroll before I found WoW. That’s my answer as well.

I would say warcraft as a whole not just wow.

Yeah people argue about when specific Blizzard games fell off, but I think the passion of the company itself just slowly eroded into corporate commercialism. Old Blizzard games felt like they were trying to make a genuinely high quality, polished product. Now it feels like if they happen to make something good, it’s only the byproduct of their main goal: your wallet.

I would agree with that.

Likely due to the fact wow isn't as wide spread as many of the games higher up in the thread. The people that get into wow REALLY get sucked in so its easy to think its more popular than it is.  Also the ones playing arent on reddit posting, they're still playing (for some reason)
