Will we even get a 9.2?
We are most likely going to see some people dismissed, and others leaving due to the case. As well, most likely see delays happen down the line.
We as fans can only hope for the best and offer the understanding needed to the ones on the team that is remaining.
Some players might believe it is best to quit and boycott, and others may stay. There is no right or wrong answer to that.

FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..

If it wasnt this covid would be blamed again.
Some good needs to come from this, the direction has been wrong since Legion IMHO.
"The team The Team", No Ion maybe its time for new people on that team because this just isnt working
on what appears to be many levels now.

It seems like this is the first time WoW has ever truly been dying. The evil shit at Blizzard being exposed, being sued, no work being done on WoW, and a few MMO's being serious competitors? Eh good. Fuck Activision and fuck Blizzard.

As I understand it, employees company-wide are organizing sit-ins in protest. And then even beyond that there's just the blow to morale and distress/distraction it causes that would naturally detract from work. Originally Posted by gcsmith

The initial statement from Activision corporate was dogshit (basically "how dare you sue us"), so I'm not sure what it'll take to make the necessary changes. It's still not clear exactly how compartmentalized the problems were, so it's hard to guess how difficult it may be for them to cut out the rot. Independent investigations, voluntary resignations, and terminations will probably need to start happening soon.

People: "They should stand down and protest against the company for all the bad news coming out!"
Also people: "I can't believe they're not working on 9.2"

Give it a week for the hot topics to blow over and it will be back on track. The finale of the campaign was not datamined on PTR, so most likely no PTR until the chains of domination story ends (4 more weeks).

So this is the guy we have to thank for Azerite, covenants etc.?The absolute state of Warcraft lore in 2021:
Kyrians: We need to keep chucking people into the Maw because it's our job.
Also Kyrians: Why is the Maw growing stronger despite all our efforts?

You want cakes that roaches were climbing on? How about some pastries that mice crapped on? Maybe the bakers could vomit in the boxes before handing them over to you. Originally Posted by Voidwielder

If you're sitting around with nothing better to do than hoping some scandal will come up that brings about the end of a video game, you need to seek professional help. Cause that ain't normal for anybody. Originally Posted by uuuhname
