Current Events > i dont see how anyone could play Blizzard games after the shit show last year

(+) Yeah! (+)

they literally bullied and harassed a woman to the point of her committing suicide

and people are like "yeah thats fine Dragonflight PREORDERED"

I havent. Still waiting for Microsoft to clean up Blizzard before playing any Bizzard game again. Though WotLK classic tempts me something fierce.

You act like other big companies don't have bad ethics. Look at what Disney has done.

I don't agree with it but you would have nothing to play if you boycott every company that was a asshole.

I won't be buying anything blizzard until they can at least pretend to be arsed to care about their shit track record. Besides D4 looks like it's going to be cash shop garbage anyway.

How does that impact the enjoyability of the games they make? If someone is ignorant or doesnt care Im not sure how that would impact the game play.

Yes, since they were bought by Activision.

Activision bought them for even longer. They kept their fingers out of the pie for a decent amount of time. Too bad they couldnt help themselves.

Because at some point you have to separate the art from the artist and in this case the games from the developers. Not to mention with people as a whole you just never know whos an asshole or not.

Paid cosmetics that don't affect the game whatsoever are never a problem

chill your McGriddle I wasnt complaining just pointing out a change

I don't think blaming an entired company for the actions of the few is a good thing. Remember that the victims also have work of the products

The problem is the entire company covered it up and did nothing to make back public favor. They basically just said we investigated ourselves and found nothing wrong.

The higher ups did that but people still lumping them with the company as a whole. Yes its fucked up and I cant wait for them to get the boot but the higher ups arent the entire company.

Cause the higher ups are the company as a whole. Also most of the good people have left Blizzard and or hate their job anyways. The literal excuse Blizzard has for paying their employees shit wages is cause they get to work at an awesome company like Blizzard. It will look great on their resumes.

Not really as companies are more then just higher ups. There are going to be many workers in a company to consider here.

Like how you keep defending a shit company cause of their employees when that company does all it can to shit on their own employees.

How do you define this as defending all Im saying is the higher ups are not the company as a whole.

As far as I'm aware the mount speeds were normalized I could be wrong though, so doesn't actually matter

Ive been thinking of doing a classic Rock n Roll Racing, would that mean that I support them?

same, i uninstalled the Blizzard Launcher and all its games, and i am never looking back

it was good for me to have a clean break like that anyway tbh since because of WC3 Reforged making the custom map scene experience a resurgence, i had been wasting way too much time playing Green Circle TDs and Circle TD Trollforged

they fucked up overwatch and the entire point of overwatch was that you bought it once and then they never fucked it up.

fact is, overwatch at launch was 1000x more fun. OW is boring and exhausting to play.
