So many of the beta players started wow in cat or later they seem to be loving the classic
Makes sense really, many beta players are current WOW subscribers, which in order to enjoy WOW in it's current incarnation its likely you are a newer player who is unaware of how the game used to be.
WOW may have 2-4M subscribers today, which means they have 96M former subscribers from days gone by.
While there is certainly some players who have enjoyed WOW since 2004 until present, my guess is it is a much, much smaller subset of the total.
The 100 million subscribers you are getting at was a number Blizzard posted in 2013. Six years later, the number of former subscribers is probably closer to 140 million. Also, based on the subscription revenue from WoW posted in their last earnings statement, the current subscriber base is closer to 6-7 million, not 2-4 million.
How did you arrive at 6-7M? Doesn't mean they haven't had 140M accounts btw since they will have added accounts since they gave out the 100M figure.
For reference AB reported Blizzard's net revenue figure by segment of $252M. (This is the figure allowing for the -$90M of deferred income).
Note: they stopped reporting any WoW specific data a while back. This is revenue from ALL of Blizzard's PC games.
