Sorry, I care more about my money being wasted than some stranger across the globe getting their ass grabbed/getting told to make a sandwich or whatever. I think most people do, if they're being completely honest, which they wont be.

I had a thread a few weeks ago asking if anyone could find an official statement or literally anything from Blizzard that explained why the sub fee existed.
It’s basically just full of people shitting on me for even asking and making up their own conclusions. Long story short no one could find anything. Blizzard just asked it and people paid it and made up their own logic as to how it’s justified.
But, one person found in the Eula that it’s for access to the game. You’re seemingly not actually paying for anything other than access to the game for your sub, despite the common implications it pays for new content, etc. Why do you pay for access? Everyone has an opinion, but no one seems to officially know.
So it’s plausible you’re 90% paying for Bobby’s next new yacht, 5% paying to fund new content they need to make anyway to keep people paying for access, and 5% towards keeping the lights on at Blizzard with your sub.

coke-fiend metzen out there spitting bullshit after being caught with is pants down, searching for his own name on the twitter post that contained the accustations.
Asif he wasnt in on it. If there's anyone i could totally see doing the shit they are accused of, it would be metzen and friasabi.
They literally said we are sorry we failed you.
Saying sorry does not mean we knew and did nothing, it means that they should have known and taken steps to stop it.
Saying sorry to someone when a member of their family dies doesn't mean that you are the one that killed them.
Legally, correct. However, since the dawn of Ultima Online, it's been implied the subscription fee is for accessing the game and updates, fixes, etc.
Unless of course, you then believe they are delivering patches, updates, bug fixes, etc for free, out of the kindness of their hearts?
I have a question. What does your internet or phone provider charge you monthly for? They don't 'produce more internet'. They might upgrade the service from time to time to maintain competitiveness, widen their coverage area, or cut down on people complaining. If they stopped altering the service and left it as is they wouldn't suddenly make it free.
If you buy a game digitally. Where does that money go? Producing your individual copy cost nothing. They might have already stopped supporting the game and made back their original investment. Yet they still charge you possibly full price even.
Company's don't break down where all the money they make from their customer's individual purchases goes. You buy world of warcraft, and you pay for the ability to play it. The requirement of a subscription to play has been on the box since forever. I don't get how this is some crazy concept.
It is their choice to use the funds to do it. They are not obligated to do so. If a patch gets delayed or the like, they aren't going to give you a refund.
Thanks for the ad-hominem; it supports your inability to support your argument.
Apologies if it came across that way, but I never meant to imply (no pun intended) you were guaranteed anything. It's more of a gray area, yes I agree it's strictly for access to the game, but they definitely don't provide free content and bug fixes. They are doing it because they need you to keep paying... which implies... that's what the subscription fee is also for.
Put another way, if there was no subscription fee, you would not get the bug fixes and patches you get, or if you did it would be drastically scaled back to a barebones team as the only time they would receive money is when an expansion is launched.
Someone used a restaurant as an example earlier, but WoW is more like a buffet. You pay for the ability to eat their food, not specifically for them to add some new furniture or a diversify their menu.
