!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Technically speaking, it's more of online gaming growing around it than it disappearing per-say. Although total subscriber count is always a speculation nowadays, there is prently of evidence of it still retaining 50-70% of peak subscriber count from 2010.

But online gaming became so accessible and widespread that WoW turned from a worldwide phenomenon to a somewhat niche game compared to mainstream MOBA and FPS games.
