This past week, Blizzard denied a quote from a Polish print magazine attributing a post-Legion 10.1 million subscription count for World of Warcraft to Tom Chilton. Blizzard did not outright deny the number, only rebutting the claim that Chilton revealed any to the magazine. “This was a misquote, or some kind of misunderstanding on the part of the journalist,” the company wrote. “Our policy for almost a year now is that we do not talk about subscriber numbers, and Tom did not do that with this publication.”
Even so, the 10.1 million number doesn’t even seem farfetched — in fact, it’d be pretty good news for the game, since that’s about how well it did at the launch of Warlords of Draenor. So let the speculation begin! How many subscribers do you think World of Warcraft has now? (And yes, China counts; they pay the same sub we do now.) To the pollmobile!
