"World of Warcraft" will lose 1.6 million players to "Star Wars Online"

Editor's note: As the saying goes, "Each generation produces its own talented individuals, who lead the trends for hundreds of years!" According to a survey conducted by "Lazard Capital Markets (LCM)" in collaboration with the foreign organization "Peanut Labs," an analysis based on questionnaires from 381 online consumers revealed that more than half of the respondents have grown tired of the gaming giant **. Among them, 50% of players plan to purchase the game after the release of "Star Wars: The Old Republic," while another 38% are interested in this online game developed by Bioware. Although the subscription numbers for online games may fluctuate due to new games, expansion packs, or multiplayer gamers, 33% of the ** players surveyed intend to return to the game after the expansion pack "Mists of Pandaria" is released next year.

LCM believes that this type of expansion pack will stimulate the online game and help bring back some of its player base. They predict that "Mists of Pandaria" could effectively win back approximately 800,000 players who previously left due to fatigue. However, given the downward trend of the game, LCM has decided to downgrade Activision Blizzard's stock rating from "Buy" to "Neutral."
