Carbot - This is World of WarCraft, Chains of Domination Key Art - Fallen King

[kamuimac]

carbot video is inadequate.

his "pretended friends" shuld have been dissapearing since cata - and the reason is not microtransactions only because they had to focus on their family lives and work .

but its portraying a typical wow nolifer perfecly well - everybody moved on with their lvies - and he wants to force everyone to manual grouping because its only way to force others to pretend to be his friends.

Seems like the video triggered some people. All I see is truth. That was EXACTLY my experience. Standing all alone at the end. People don't even tell you goodbye anymore. Friendships aren't real. They are beneficial transactions.

Regardless of what is going on behind the scenes, the video depiction of the cities and friendslist dwindling in population is not a lie.

they never were. you were only one who thought they were.

rest moved on and focuses on real lives - not on pixels in computer game.

want friends ? find them irl .

you do know that its controversial cause its a 50% pay cut right?

and they agree, so they cut his pay by 50%.

There are people who could do BETTER than Bobby at his job for less than a million a year. These shareholders are getting conned. He has so very little to do with the day to day profitability that i can't believe they'd approve this after he was exposed the last time.

As a shareholder, this does kind of offend me. The game quality is going down across the board at ATVI (not just blizz, COD is front and center) and the ship is sinking and the captain is pillaging all the loot he can rather than steer the ship to smoother waters so to speak.

That video made me sad

I don't know why you are trying to troll me. Wait, yes I do... pathetic. In any case, I have IRL friends. Lots of them. We were talking about IN GAME FRIENDS. If you can't follow a conversation, and then comment on it based on the actual topic, then don't comment.

Your entire comment was an attempt to come at me and say I have no friends. WTF is wrong with you? Did it make you feel good about yourself to have absolutely no effect on me? What a waste of space and time...

In game friends can become lifelong irl friends. I know I’ve made quite a few and even drove to Blizzcon a decade ago with them. Not your fault he can’t make real friends in game

But you are right and anyone who’s played WoW long enough to remember the glory days remembers the feelings of watching the WoW crowd dwindle away piece by piece.

And no, it isn’t just life came in the way, most of them game heavily still and would play WoW... if it was worth playing again. There’s a reason WoW classic tripled their sub count

[GUZ]

All i kept wondering is how that little man didnt age a bit?

[Th3Scourge]

Lol my favourite part is the tank on the dungeon conveyor belt. Sums up pug tanks perfectly

That video made me sad. Well done

Its rather likely that the shareholder's don't care about the game's and there quality and rather care about how much there stock is worth. On that front kotick might as well be discovering atlantis with the huge growth they have had.

The irony is they’d have had the growth regardless of if he was there or not. Cod, wow, guitar hero, and other franchises were just taking off

He’s just a guy who was in the right place at the right time. There’s companies out there with CEOs who do 100x more than Bobby and do it at 1/100 the cost

They might have gone up with out him but it’s not like we can calculate alternate reality growth.

What we do know is that he was a major if not the major mover on getting blizzard and that while he’s run the place the stock has growth enough to turn a 40m bonus into a 200m bonus. I won’t lie and say I know if other gaming CEOs have done better tThen that or contribute more but his success is rather undeniable when it comes to what share holders care about IE money.

[Powerogue]

Didnt Blizzard feature one of this youtube channel videos on a Blizzcon...i swear i remember that...

EDIT:
YEP i was right Kind of a backstab to Blizzard
They were featured on Blizzcon

Don't forget the official promo for the infamous SELFIE patch.



(when are they going to fix the bugs with that thing? It wasn't worth a content patch, but it's a fun toy)

[solinari6]

Haven't been paying attention to the Shadowlands story... what's going on with Anduin?

[xdunpealx]

i love seeing the socialist dumb kids in here.. Bobby is in charge of Activision.. which encompasses the whole thing.. gee what other companies and games are under the banner? Yeah he makes a lot. Yeah its a huge amount. Take your ideas somewhere else.

Carbot is awesome and the last actual blizzcon they had a panel of him. I went to that skipping over WoW or Diablo all other content, and it was the best panel there. A lot of people who love WoW are feeling the current state just doesn't keep people playing, or most of us have grown and now just do other things. Their most recent announcement with legendries of Retail.. oh boy. Welp its just not about playing for good story or accomplishing something great and if you do it gets negated.

[Sanguinerd]

Lord it stays hilarious to see people argue about big old Bobby like he's some evil guy for making alot of money.. meanwhile they ignore the overpaid CEOs of pretty much every other fucking company because it doesnt suit their pathetic Blizzard hating agenda. Nobody gives a shit unless its related to Blizzard and only then its suddenly the worst thing in the world

(and no, I'm not happy about the current state of WoW either)

He was captured, tortured and is now being controlled.

"Anduin bad, sylvannas good, strong woman, who is tyrande?"

You aren't missing out on much

you want us to shit on android wilson on forum related to wow?

[PixelFox]

Oh man, that video captures the wholes story perfectly. Very emotional.

[Queen of Hamsters]

man aint mike morhaime the worst? he took cheque after cheque all the while firing 600 blizzard employees, a lot of them developers.

much better then kotik who fired 800 people, only 137 of them blizzard, and none of them developers, the rest of the 800 were other teams.

Indeed.

And now many nitwits are hailing Mike Morhaime's new venture as the second coming, as if it too won't be profits-driven.

[schwarzkopf]

The sad reality is that it's the opposite of what you think it is.

Your delusion is not reality.

The reality is - that it is exactly what I think it is.
