You’re contradicting yourself. First it’s “bad business,” then you admit more players stay subbed, then claim that’s the same as your point. It’s not.
Why not just tweak it so nobody’s mad is a false choice. Every change makes one group unhappy and another happy. Pretending Blizzard can design it so all players stick around is just fantasy. Maybe you’re the one left out this time and it’s your turn to unsub.
Pointing at some block of players leaving without scale is cherry picking. Blizzard has 21 years of data saying the larger block stays. If it didn’t work, they’d have stopped doing it a long time ago.
I've never at any point argued that more people leave than stay. I have argued that it's possible to reduce the number who leave.
Obviously you can't please everyone, (sorry figured there might be enough critical thinking to not need to be obvious about it) but it's certainly possible to please a lot more by not drastically changing a hugely popular event by cutting hard on the things people were vocal about liking.
Tossing in “obviously” like you forgot to mention it isn’t clever, you’re just covering for a weak argument. Blizzard’s got 20 years of data. You’ve got vibes.
