Because in life its how you handle challenges, not just when things go your way especially in business.
I am not going to educate you business or the difference between one type or source of revenue vs another but understand Activision/Blizzard are is the parent company of a few titles, all of them individually are rated on their own merit for success, however a loss of revenue from either, effect the over all bottom line for the business as a whole, SUBS DO NEED TO GROW in order for the company to have a sustained asset that also needs to be predated by projections and followed through with results, such sales reports.
Seeing as how i believe it is costing them subs and revenue or will, NO, it is NOT OK and by your own admission that caused you to flame me plenty of others want to see some changes also.
I am not defending abuse, but I am saying that Blizzard is the company that is in the business of providing a service they Advertise and ASK for people to come and play, they are Responsible since their lives and livelyhood does depend on OUR revenue from customers as a whole, because WE ARE THEIR BOSSES, because trust me if enough subs drope, not enough revenue comes in, doesn't matter how many billions they had or have, or subs, they will go down like any other business.
See, just like most people business has a budget, they count on revenue have credit, just like individuals do, and like anybody else most spend outside that into new ventures and ways to keep SUSTAINED REVENUE coming in, Which means they might have billions but they also have lots of Bills and Projects they have to pay for, and when a BUSINESS loses subs, or customers because of bad experience or their other products dont sell because of a bad experience, like BIOWARE, or SONY, Guess what, they take a HIT.
SO NO, it isn't OK, and as you see as time goes on, just how badly these things turn out for a business.

Really, and google how many people on FB and Twitter have been fired or suspended for comments they made not even related to or specifically concerning the business they work for. Just the appearance of unprofessional behavior was enough that a business might choose to distance themselves.
And if you think behavior has absoulutly NO baring on a job or a business, You might also want to do a bit of research on a few lawsuits that have gone down, where People have tried to fight for their rights NOT to have their employment and backround checks include things like FB or Twitter whether its for professional or personal use.
