Mark Kern about a supposed Blizz leak.

It is absolutely not legit.

New expac in early 2022? Upper echelons trying to remove the “no king rules forever” line? Blizz Boomers thinking asmongold is “based” and zoomers hating it?

Zero chance this is real. Corporate fanfiction.

Now to get the dark coal and hollow it.

And yet for some reason a lot of replies seem to believe it. Maybe they’re reading a totally different fake leak.

Then again, according to one commenter, “the majority of blizz leaks have been consistently accurate”.

:thinking: I don’t know about that one Chief.

hey /v/ I just found out that blizzard put software in the game that makes your computer set on fire if you subscribe to asmongold

Even if that leak is fake, Grummz commentary is very interesting to read when taken into context about how modern gaming and in particular the AAA studios both treat their own staff and their “consumers”.

Grummz hasn’t said anything worthwhile since 1999

I don’t even know who the guy is tbf and 1999 I would be… 3-4years so wouldn’t know.
I still stand by saying it’s an interesting read nonetheless, while taking a grain of salt from both the twitter thread and the imgur 4chan post.

Every 4chan leak about WoW is a mixture of obvious predictions, observable reality, and community projection

Former blizz guy who left years+years ago, went on to contribute to the flop that was Firefall. The boondoggle bus was his idea.

Pretty funny him talking about people being put into jobs they’re clearly not qualified for honestly.

Ah the irony+hipocrisy guy then, makes sense then

It looked kind of maybe plausible if you squinted the right way until the “toxic masculinity” and “woke” parts. It’s hilarious how the 4chan tribe thinks everyone else in the world silently agrees with them but it silenced by the big librul conspiracy, to the point they can’t keep it out of their fanfiction.

Don’t remind me about Firefall. I was so excited for that game when they first announced it. And then my body and soul were just slowly ground to dust as it never amounted to anything.

i’m still convinced nobody (in those circles) knows what toxic masculinity means and uses it just as a buzzword to throw around

You’d think that people who spend decades ‘fighting feminism’ would find out about even the most bare-bones basic feminist theory but apparently ‘BLUE HAIR SAY MEN BAD ):<<<’ sets you up for life

I’m sad to inform you, you are just a variant and your lesser time line is just a wilding on the Universe and soon wither and die
I’m sorry

wish i could make money off of extremely sensationalist and shallow takes on flawed viewpoints based on wrong understanding of most basic lingo used by a group of people

It reads like a cynical person with above average awareness of corporate thinking making some okay guesses, then going off the rails with thinly veiled political posting to blame Big Woke for WoW being devoured by catgirls.
