Ifølge John Smedley, sjef hos Daybreak Games (tidligere Sony Online Entertainment), så er dagene talte for nettrollespill i samme stil som World of Warcraft.
"I firmly believe the days of the WoW-style MMO are over. And that means we have to change with the times. Luckily, we were kind of early on that bus as opposed to late. But we're changing what we're making."
Han sier at dagens spillere foretrekker kortere spillopplevelser, og legger beleilig nok til at spill som deres eget H1Z1 er perfekt for det nye markedet.
"And I say that because the average life expectancy in H1Z1 might be 45 minutes, and that's what today's gamers want. How many people do you still know that are still raiding in WoW every night, or EverQuest and EverQuest II? It's just the time commitment necessary has changed so much."
Han har imidlertid ingen tanker om hvordan nettopp World of Warcraft kan være dødsdømt med sine flere millioner abonnenter.
