there just isn't the market for them quite like there used to be
There never really was a market for them, at least not larger than there is now. It's just that most MMOs back in the day were stable at like 100k users, if that. The reason F2P is a necessity now isn't because sub gaming is dead, but because most developers (publishers, really) think they need 500k+ to stay afloat, so they'd rather pull tricks like making you pay for gear and cosmetic stuff.
But yeah that was a not-so-short way of agreeing that only WoW (and EvE Online) will stay sub-based.
If destruction exists, we must destroy everything.
