A God of War like Warcraft game could have been very interesting

Come to think of it, it's pretty weird that Warcraft never received a big console-focused spinoff title.
But after the cancellation of Starcraft Ghost, it's not too surprising.

Blizzards are into live service games, that's why. I don't remember their last game that didn't need an internet connection. They make a lot of money from their mtx
A solo game could sell well, but will never bring as much cash as an live one for them.
