WoW Charity Pet Program $1 Million USD Goal Reached – Daisy Unlocked!

[Sparklelord]

You know if you guys spent less time shitting on Blizzard you'd know this is exactly how this charity works. You cannot give Blizzard any money nor can they write off any of it.

Like if you want to bash a company, fine. At least do some research first though so you don't look completely oblivious. It's like the anti-vaxxer that invented flu vaccines (''We should like just inject a weakened version of the virus so you're body can fight it off naturally'')

But I can give them a feelgood stamp reputation? If people donated 100m through blizzard, and everything went to the doctors, blizzard would still get good press. This company doesn't deserve that.

So obnoxious model. Looks like 2004 LOL

Wouldn't go that far....



Also looks like a unique skeleton/ rigging possibly a modified proto drake?

Do you really need to move goalposts just to keep shitting on Blizzard randomly? Can't you try this in a proper discussion elsewhere?

Congratulations community, a good deed towards a worthy cause and two pets in the bag!

Some people don't read the print and just sees the headline, assuming anything to fit their mind.

Imagine being so upset with a company that you're still posting on its fan forum talking shit about its developers after they raise a million fucking dollars for charity. Unfuckingbelievable.

I'm so happy that we were able to reach this goal as a community. Every dollar helped reach this goal and I'm glad my $0 went toward achieving this goal for the community!

Good job, everyone helped activision write off a mill in tax credit. Time for the celebrations.

well you clearly never visited the website or made a donation yourself. you paid it directly to DWB. nice try though.

If Bobby Kotick gave 1% of his networth, the charity would be at over 6mill, but thats never gonna happen.

We do not know if he has or not, it has nothing to do with the charity as it is made for the players/fans to achieve a united goal.

I know people like to blindly hate but charity donations isn't the angle to do it from bud.

Some people are too busy spreading the hate further than it should without further research.

[Bee76]

WOW ! we reached .5% of what kotik gets as an annual bonus for his work on graudually ruining the game/company we used to love... naisu

He gets his money based on the success of the company...so yes your post make no sense.

Blizzard should have just donated the entirety themselves but they are greedy and would rather let people go left and right and then ask people to donate some they could easily have just done themselves but they needed to turn it into publicity.

Blizzard did donated 1.6M in December.

Blizzard started a campaign, giving 2 pets if people donated and now doctors without borders have 1 million, 1 million they wouldn't have had if blizzard didn't do what they did. Blizzard is now directly responsible for Doctors without borders having 1million. What the actual fuck is wrong with you?

If blizzard saves the world from impending doom you will still write this. You can hate on blizzard for a lot of things. And you choose to complain about the charity because 'good press'. Find something better to do man

There's a whole lot of ignorance and immaturity going on in these comments. But it's not like I expect any different of the stellar community of MMO C. The least you could do before spouting off about teh evil ActiBli$$ is find out how this charity was set up...
Every day brings me a little closer to not even reading the news here even out of curiosity, let alone seeing any of the utterly predictable comments. Sometimes I think it's a great cosmic fluke that humanity has managed to make it as far as it has. Then I remember not every person (not even on MMO C) is a MMO C ignorance or shitposter, 1 million was just raised for DWB/MSF, see this good thing happen and go about my day.
