The argument Blizzard used to make for years was that the subcription fee helped them develop new content

and now they've spent the last 10 years explaining that they can only offer new content or development via new expacs, so it's like... but i thought thats what you spent years saying the subscription fee was for? I would rather them just say its for greed straight out, but youll notice that subscription games are becoming less and less viable as time goes on

like when you pay a sub to play WOW you are not paying to play a higher quality game
you are paying to play a game that feels like it has less effort dumped into it than most F2P games on the market (Fortnite, League of Legends to name a few)...

like for years when I paid to play EQ or WoW it felt justified because you were truly getting an online gaming experience that was lightyears ahead of non-sub games

just doesnt feel like that anymore

and the original argument that sub pays for content development has long been abandoned
