For those interested how much more viable WoW was to Blizzard:
According to Thor, one of the devs on SC2, the very first mount Blizzard released for WoW that you could buy with money, y'know that stupid, unimaginative 0815 mount for 10 (15?) bucks...that one made more money than WoL.



Love Thor and his insight about things.

I mean nothing wrong with those micro transaction and stuff seriously.
Mostly a troll, bi-polar by design, occasionally brain malfunction. Please forgive me. xD

Done well, it’s a great model, but too frequently it isn’t.

Something like Fortnite has a crazy amount of updates and fresh modes, more than any game I’ve ever played. Albeit I mostly just play a little so I can play with kiddo.

Engine updates, editor improvements, frequent new maps and whole new mechanics. New modes. Hell they just added proper first-person support and a CS clone mode with it, that’s actually not too bad

It’s quite difficult to finance all that on a one-off retail purchase.

On the negative side you have a lot of products that are ringfencing content that could be in a launch to make it a micro transaction later, which is a trend I absolutely dislike

That was actually debunked I'm pretty sure that the one mount made more than SC2.
