Didn't make enough money out of WoW, they must've done something terribly wrong. Maybe they should make more in game pets and mounts I can buy with moneys!!!!! Or just make WoW F2P, and have a micro store, like every other game.

WoW F2P , i would totally start playing again.

Well, the "focus on casual players" strategy clearly didnt work - they made WoW shit, they made diablo 3 shit and MoP is just a joke. Question is, if splitting up with Activision gonna help, or if the cause of this terrible change is somewhere in Blizzard itself.

Half of wows players are from asia where blizzard makes pennies on the dollar. They could have 1 mil NA players and make more money from that 1 mil over 8 mil in china.

Jesus old news, pointless posting it here or anywhere at this point. But one should really look at Vivendi and their losing money with shaddy business practices that have been slowly over years to catch up with them, and get the whole Activision - Blizzard relation more accurately. Then you would truly understand why they are looking to sell it, much as they have with other properties of theirs lately. But the trolls of the internets love to focus on quick jabs with little research into anything they are trying to post about.

I seriously hope they get sold, though I doubt it will make a difference. The problem lies in blizzard itself. They need to return to old school. Don't fix it if it isn't broken

love that news, now blizzard can go back to make quality games and care about their games like in diablo2 and classic tbc wow
