World of Warcraft died because the developers only catered to casuals and world prog

"Any MMO that cant tell its story ingame without the player needing to buy a dozen books has utterly failed"

I hope I "fail" like WoW has. I'll take $9,230,000,000 and be considered a "failure."

I mean it has failed at storytelling I think that's what the quote meant.
A lot of games ( probably most tbh ) have complete garbage stories but still are incredibly profitable.
WoW also has some pretty severe levels of nostalgia bias and lives off of what Blizzard used to be.
A lot of people just get hyped up about Blizzard games because it's Blizzard and no other reason.

I have a very hard time understanding how people can continue playing games that makes them so angry tho.
There's so many people who genuinely seem to hate the game but still play it non-stop, same goes for other games too.
If a game makes you unhappy it's time to stop.
I think the addiction is pretty deep.
