Blizzard and their games inspired me to strive for perfection and greatness, and help me get through some very tough times in my life. I will always compare today’s Blizzard with Blizzard of old, and I will never accept anything else than what they were back in the days.
-
Blitzchung incident, siding with communist China, for profit.
-
Incorporating King/Candycrush metrics into all their games to milk whales instead of making good games that can stand on their own.
-
Fireing 800 QA/support staff and then act surprised as their games suffer immensely.
-
Releasing Warcraft III in the state it was in even tough they knew it wasn’t finished and lacked many of the features players where promised. Basically duping pre-order fans and unloading garbage onto them - for profits.
-
Ignoring the cries from the wow community FOR YEARS - releasing beta-expansion after beta-expansion.
-
Not paying their low tier devs a living salary, stating that “you have the privilege to work on franchisees you love”. You know what I love ******* food on my table…
-
Shutting down Blizzard EU, because workers had more rights than Blizzard where comfortable with…
-
Letting REAL misogyny fester throughout Blizzard pushed so far that buttplugs and lube are brought to a company retreat where nudes of a female worker was passed around. That female worker later killed herself on that retreat. (Jesus F Christ …)
-
Always spouting SJW/Inclusion/LGBTQ+/Buzzwords, especially after a scandal, whilst they themselves are a hundred million times worse. Hypocritical virtue signaling behavior from the people in charge.
-
Cutting ties with Kael’thas voice actor and immediately replacing all voice acting and then not saying so much as a peep when it turned out he was innocent.
-
Cutting ties and erasing other high profile community members from existence based on rumors, many of whom later turned out to be false accusations.
-
Do you guys not have phones - doubling down on not releasing Immortal on PC through an emulator - again for Asian market and profits, pissing on core Blizzard fans.
Oh how the mighty have fallen - no king rules forever.
