      @@Sunbro413 Well, the company isn't so much 'Dead' as their game is just shitcanning itself in terms of story, mechanics and complete lack of content. HOWEVER, this is not me defending them. Their game is losing their player base in droves. Numbers don't lie. Regardless, it's not even really the state of california's law suit that's causing them to fail (Though that is now helping to contribute to peoples opinions and helping it along) so much as the WoW game and their self contradicting and retconning lore.
      I mean... Here's just one example of them retconning lore for their current story: Frostmourne. The Mournblade was, according to the dreadlord who spoke to Arthas, forged by the Lich King. Later that was retconned, and it was stated that the mournblade was forged by the Burning Legion. Finally, in current content, it's stated that the Runecarver(One of the Eternal Ones) is the original one to have forged it and the Helm of Domination...
      The lore is being wound into a lovecraftian horror style loopty loop, and then further twisted into a fucked up slinky so bad that it's laughable. They have no idea what they're doing.
