Well, it was bound to happen, eventually. In its latest financial report, Activision revealed that World of Warcraft has lost 1.3 million subscribers in the last three months. Despite that, WoW is still the most famous and profitable subscription-based MMO on the planet, with more than 8.3 million subscribers. However, that decline proves that F2P MMOs are gaining ground, and that it will be tougher for newer games (that are subscription-based) to meet the success of WoW (or even surpass it).

Before starting this analysis, let us tell you that we are big fans of StarCraft 2. StarCraft 2 is a global phenomenon and we are really enjoying watching all the talented players duking it out on eSports.

During its Q4 Conference Call, Activision revealed that it will publish two Blizzard games in 2013. One of them is surely the second part of the StarCraft II saga, Heart of the Swarm, that is planned for a March 12th release on the PC. However, we are a bit troubled about the second title.

And let’s hope that they’ll finally fix Diablo 3 before releasing new content for it. Continue reading Activision To Publish Two Blizzard Games In 2013, Blizzard Working On An Unannounced Game→
