I'm honestly really excited about Microsoft using their proven history of remastering games (Halo, AoE) and applying it to that exact list of once-great icons. At this point all they need to do to gain a ton of goodwill is roll WoW into gamepass so it's not yet another subscription and fix the Warcraft remaster.

Those along with not clogging up the candy crush money printer will get them plenty of runway to really dig in and fix the culture.

I’d be surprised if they touch the WoW cash cow and make it free with Game Pass. It would be a bold move

Perhaps they could roll something like WoW Classic into game pass, but leave retail unchecked.
