$300M compared to WoW printing $7B per year in profit in its heyday is almost a rounding error.

They made WoW. It was insanely profitable. Their valuation soared. They sold. They declined.

It's hard to say if its reversion to the mean or the Activision acquisition - but it's hard to argue Blizzard hasn't declined by every metric.
