Yeah I was looking at Twitch numbers too, but honestly it'd still be a wild guess why it's that much higher. Could also be that they do something with Twitch drops, it essentially doesn't say much about player count itself.

I know previously it was because of world-first races, but I'm not sure if that's still the case.

There’s probably quite a bit of content still that is playing “World of Warcraft” but it’s more like a “just chatting” kind of stream, if you know what I mean - WoW is a safe, comfy game to have on in the background while talking about other stuff.
