There’s like at least one xpac coming down that will somewhat revitalize the game, support won’t end tomorrow.
This is just blizz squeezing for more money, like every other game with an MTX shop.
I’m not a fan of the cult-like community. I’d rather not my distro hang on to the good will of one single person.

They’ve been switching all their software to subscription based, it’s coming for windows too, it’s less a question of if but rather of when. I’m sure there’ll be a “free” edition though, with more ads and whatever else they can think of. Enshittification doesn’t stop.
Linux has hundreds of distributions, plenty of which feature gui alternatives like Linux Mint, everything’s not arch. I’ll remind you console commands are a thing on windows as well.
I wouldn’t call it bombing if the problem is legitimate, and server issues on an online game is definitely a big problem.
