The only Activision game I care about is WoW, but the game changed so much in a niche hardcore direction that even with Microsoft owning them, my hope is very limited about the game, probably I'll never play again.

Right!? Was telling my partner the only game I've had more fun in than BG3 was WoW. When she asked why dont i play it, i had to explain how the WoW i feel in love with doesnt exist anymore. I played Vanilla extensively and never made it to the max level and had so much fun exploring and doing wpvp against characters my level, it was insanely fun. I had to quit cause i ruined my computer with Limewire, and picked it up again in the Cata expansion and the game was a shadow of what it used to be. Felt like it was a rush to max level and the soul of the game had been ripped out...

WoW is just pointless errands now. It's so bad. All the things that made if fun have been removed or minimized. I don't think I'll ever return to it after Dragonflight. I'd rather wash my sink full of dishes than do another pointless grind. Vanilla wow back in the day was something truly special. It's gone now, it won't be back but I'm lucky I got to experience it before it soured.

Classic WoW exists & you could play Vanilla again if you wanted do. However that's not really what I'm talking about. For me peak WoW was Legion and Pandaria probably and I still somewhat liked Cataclysm up until the final patch at least.

What is happening now is that if you have no interest in Mythic raiding or Myhtic+ timed dungeons, then there is barely anything else. The cash shop is also increasingly ruining everything, there is also how thanks to WoW tokens my brain just won't allow me to casually buy something expensive on the AH anymore since gold has a tangible real $ value & then there is the abomination called the Trading Post.
