Was WoW's "tribute" to Robin Williams a money grab?

Youre right man youre win, youre some higher form of intelect who detected corporate evil on paying tribute to someone after a petition because WoW is subscription based. It obviously should have gone free to play forever after all Robbin Willins will be in it in te form of one tiny NPC and this will bring 5 millions subscriptions back to WoW, including mine Im considering right now re subing cause Robbin Willians is just gona make the beyond good. And the price increasing afteyr 10 year sof they somehow managing to keep it the same (in 1 area theres absolute no evidencew of ti increasing anywhere yet just rumors) before the NPC is even implemented is obviously some evil scheme from those evil WoW developers.

They could make the tribute accessible for a free, or they can donate a % to his charities. It's not complicated.

The game is acessible for free, its called free game trial, not that this has anythign to do with anything cause if the trial didnt exist it would make absolute no sense to make the tribute acessible for free, do you even understand what WoW (or any subscription based MMO for that matter) is and how it works ? Its not like its a segmented thing were you can acess 1 part of it for free, its a world, literally a world and you pay to have acess to this world. And if all you want to do is see the NPC cause you realy liked the person than get your trial see him and never log back into WoW (be warned the game client is massively hughe even if its just for the free trial).

 

I've been playing games since you were still in diapers. I played WoW from open beta all the way up to the Mists of Panderia expansion. I understand perfectly how it works. Something you honestly can't say for yourself since you obviously don't understand a subscription is a paywall. It would be different if you could access his NPC in a newb area or anywhere you could during that very short trial but you can't.
