Could we at least get a new date on when we might expect the livestream? Was looking forward to hearing about the unannounced stuff.

Here we goā¦you opened the Pandora Box nowā¦
Keep it on topic folks. I know why blizzard did this and I totally support it. I just wanted to know if we could get a date on when we can expect the livestream after the delay.

Wait, it got delayed?
Thatās a shame. Where is the source though? Usually I see all this stuff on MMO-C but Iām seeing nothing.
Found it.
Got the be honest, itās actually a little bit disgusting that theyāre using the whole BLM protesting stuff as an excuse for them delaying a World of Warcraft stream.
āMore important voicesā like what does that even mean? Itās news about a video game, there will always be āmore important voicesā.

Itās a clever PR-stunt, but anyway I think in maybe two or three weeks. Seemingly everyone is placing their events in the last week of June, so I guess something similar might happen here.

Canāt say I sympathise with it. It does absolutely nothing. And frankly if we have to pause every time America ācraps the bedāā¦ well that would turn quickly in a weekly routine.
As to their little crisis atm, nothing will change. Sadly weāll see this happening again and again. Canāt say Blizzard is a champion either with the wages they pay for most of their staff. Talk is cheap as they say and weāll see plenty of it from officials and companies.

They were going to do a June 9th stream for āShadowlands updatesā.
I think most of us was hoping for a release date, or at least a pre-patch release date.
I donāt see why they canāt do it, they have webcams donāt they?
All it will be is two people sat together talking, again.
Apparently they think Shadowlands is so important that it would distract from real world events and now isnāt the time to distract the masses with a new mount or further Transmog restriction questions.

Personally think itās an excuse to stall, for whatever reason.

Seems a bit damned if you do, damned if you donāt.
Blizzard says they donāt want their games to be a political platform with Blitzchung and Hearthstone.
People get upset.
Blizzard apologizes and says theyāll do better.
Then Activisiom Blizzard release a statement regarding BLM and Blizzard delays their steam event because of the protestsā¦
ā¦and then people get upset again because they donāt think it should disrupt their games.
This is kind of what we as a community asked Blizzard to do following the Blitzchung incident - that Blizzard should take a stronger, more active political role.
Now they do.

Why do we have to care about some internal us issues again? Its not like āsome voicesā matter outside of the us. The voices in Hong Kong surely didnt matter to blizz. Its just pure hipocritical panderin for good boy points.

Because people are dying for nothing??? Like idk can you be a human being and understand that this is an issue in the US where this company is based like???
Yikes dude
For the company itās a political matter to be outspoken on issues like these.
Thatās not a yikes thing on my part. Itās an active business decision on their part to get involved in non-games affairs. And thatās contrary to their previous company policy, that being my only point.
Reading the update, I couldnāt even roll my eyes any harder with them saying āvoices need to be heardā after their lilā stunt with a certain incident with regards to Hong Kongā¦ hate hypocrites.
