WoW subscription peak was at 12 mil in 2010, down to 10 mil in 2014 and now to 1.7 mil in 2018.
Granted, take this with a pinch of salt but it does seem to be aligned with community trends.The general feeling in my gaming circle is that Blizzard dropped the ball with BfA and that content decreased both in quality and in quantity.
Funny enough the WoW's official forums remind me awfully of SW:TOR forums before the game went into tailspin.
"So @Blizzard_Ent launched a new API
https://develop.battle.net/ recently and it was leaking player subscription end dates. You could iterate over all players and calculate active subs. At the start of #BfA we had 3.2m subs, now at 1.7m of which ~25% are secondary #BFA purchases"

'Last Jedi' hate tweets were 'weaponized' by Russia, says study
https://mashable.com/article/the-last-jedi-rian-johnson-russia...
The Brexit vote. The 2016 U.S. presidential election. And now ... the online reaction to The Last Jedi. What do all these expressions of opinion have in common? All have been credibly accused after the fact of being skewed by Russian operatives.

Total War: ROME II
As Pergamon I marched into Asia Minor with nice properly balanced and seasoned army. 2 melee cavalry, 2 missile cavalry, 4 slingers, 5 levy pikemen, 4 hoplites, 2 ballista.
And then I encountered the pestilent vermin that is Seleucid Empire with its neverending swarms of skirmishers and light cavalry.
Let's just say that I now fully understand the problem Hellenistic generals had in manoeuvering phalanx formations against mobile enemy.
I could hold western edge of Asia Minor with its rough terrain well enough but if i sallied forth I got clobbered. After getting my behind handed to me by Seleucids a number of times I switched to their perennial enemy, the Ptolemaic Egypt.
Let's just say that Seleucid horse archers and skirmishers really don't like being trampled over by African war elephants. Best of all, if left with enough room the elephant unit that goes on a rampage (you lose control over it) just tramples more of the swarming enemies.
