It is a fact that recently, most of Blizzard’s games are becoming “greedy” in attracting revenue. The developer himself also focuses on the strategy of enhancing mobile games that can bring him high revenue through the appearance of Diablo Immortal or the latest, Warcraft Rumble. Blockbusters that have become brands like Diablo 4 or Hearthstone, Overwatch also face countless criticisms because of the sky-high prices of new content. And recently, it was World of Warcraft gamers’ turn to wake up.
Accordingly, fans of World of Warcraft had not yet had time to rejoice that there would be the first expansion in history, World of Warcraft: The War Inside, but quickly had to face a surprising decision from Blizzard. Specifically, the standard version of this expansion pack only costs about $50, while the upgraded version costs $70 and will include a number of additional items and costumes. But if so, there would be nothing worth arguing about. Things only get more tense when if you spend $90 to buy the super VIP package, World of Warcraft players will have early access to the game 3 days before regular gamers.
And with an MMORPG like World of Warcraft, being able to log in and experience 3 days in advance will bring countless advantages to anyone. This is also the first time that World of Warcraft offers early access in the form of purchase, and also causes it to quickly receive countless bricks and stones. Faced with the indignation of gamers, Blizzard itself also had to speak out. Specifically, this distributor believes that early access has been very carefully calibrated, and will not bring competitive advantages to those who spend $ 90 (nearly 2.4 million VND) to experience it early before three months. day. They can level up sooner, reach the maximum level faster, but in general, those advantages do not affect the end game content.
This explanation cannot currently calm the anger of many World of Warcraft fans. It may even be counterproductive when now, many people are starting to feel skeptical about the benefits they receive when spending an amount of more than 2 million for this expanded version.
