World Of Warcraft Classic: 5 Reasons It Might Fail (And Why It Won't)
5. Nostalgia
The nostalgia or "rose-tinted glasses" argument has really gotten out of control over the past few years. Not just with WoW or gaming, but in general.
Without fail, if you tell people you love some piece of entertainment from when you were young, at some point you're going to be told that it's just nostalgia.
That you "only like it because it brings back memories of how life used to be".
Why That Won't Happen:
Honestly... so what? Why can't something be great on its own and nostalgic at the same time?
The fact that people have a nostalgia attachment to the game should only be a factor when figuring out how successful the game is going to be on launch - and something everyone seems to agree on, is that it's going to be huge on launch week.
The main concern a lot of people have when it comes to the game, is the longevity.
Good News! Old-school WoW, to this day, is still widely regarded as the most addictive PC game of all time. So how can anyone doubt it?
