This is a very interesting debate here. So on WoW’s website(for the US), they have listed that they have put things like Race and Faction changes (things you would only find on their website) are now on the Blizzard Store. Well, they also blocked the comments.
The reason for them blocking the comments, could be pretty much any reason;
1. They’re tired of the moaning and groaning of their community, and are all “either buy it or don’t”.
2. They don’t give a fuck anymore about your opinion, because they feel they’re doing the right thing (but “give us your monies!!”).
3. They’re doing this to make themselves look like they’re actually doing something to appease their stockholders for the Q3 report(instead of doing something for the community).
Now, I’m currently pretending that Blizzard is a horse that’s starting to stink with lots of flies buzzing around it, yet is still very much alive. It also pretends it’s a lama, spitting on the face of its community.
The horse has been beaten so… so many times by its community (with me contributing). But now it seems (to me), that the horse has finally realized to just allow the beating to continue, and not give two fucks anymore.
In other words, Blizzard seems to not give a fuck anymore that they’re killing their own successful franchise (WoW). Yet they sure do love to care about your money.
Meh. That’s just my opinion. To be honest, I don’t really care about this. What I DO care is to see their Q3 report, that hopefully should be coming sometime this evening.
I want to see them suffer. This here? What they’re doing?… This is not suffering. It’s possibly more on the lines of ‘desperation’, because they know they’re hurting.
But if they are sooo… “hurting”, then why can’t they just fucking do something about it and actually make content that their existing subscriber base would love, instead of putting all of their time and effort into Legion?!
Ugh. THIS is why I’m done yelling at them. It’s doing no good anymore! They aren’t learning from their mistakes! They’re just creating NEW ones!!
