I have enough of EA ruining great franchises and studios, forcing DRM and Origin on their games, releasing incomplete games only to sell day-1 DLCs or spill dozens of DLCs, and then saying it, and microtransactions, is what players want, stopping players from giving EA games poor reviews, as well as deflecting complaints with cheap PR tricks.
I'm not going to buy any game by EA as long as they continue those practices.
WoW... After all this they STILL didn't trust a Woman to do it on her own and give her a male to "share" it with. It seems like it would had been a way better look to give it 100% to Jen.
I am curious why its co run now, its a bit oddd but either way I find it just funny, was this really a recent choice or planned to deflect heat, its juicy.
Good. Positive change is positive.
"Look, it doesn't take a genius to know that every organization thrives when it has two leaders. Go ahead, name a country that doesn't have two presidents. A boat that sets sail without two captains. Where would Catholicism be without the popes?"
Any executive in a position to co-lead the studio has already sold their soul to impress the former mgmt. You can't reach upper mgmt in a megacorp without being an out-of-touch lunatic.
But...but...his household saint was Gloria Steinem...surely he could appealed to Saint Gloria for help?
F
by the way...
"[...] most welcoming workplace possible for women, and people of any gender [...]"
the mentioning of women is redundant in this sentence as it should be covered by "any gender", right?
So basically next expansion is gonna suck a huge dick but the one after that might be the one lol man what a play tho.
Blizz power move...Quick! promote the nearest woman(hey you! youre the new boss buttt not fully obvs lul lul) and im glad they did good for her.
IMO Classic played out as I predicted it would with most people, it was a huge boon and everyone was in this rat race to the top trying to be the best, once they realized they weren't going to be the first to the top of the mountain they just quit.
I mean people still at the company to promote would be Ion and unfortunately people would have an absolute fit if they did that. At the same time I think hes also smart enough not to take the position in this state as to not crater his career at this point.
I don't think these people will be messing with the day-to-day low levels of WoW, it seems like they'll be handling very high level business goals.
Blizzard is dead. If this news doesn't open peoples eyes then what will?
At the head are now people who joined in 2019 and 2021.
What do they know about Blizzard? They don't have a long history at the company and know the core philosophies. They're just corporate suits.
Just let the company rest in peace. It was a great ride but it's now it's finished. The end.
Please god get them away from Activision, despite all the things that happened culture wise in the blizzard offices the activision model of releasing things like its a sports game franchise is just not it. I'd rather we go longer without new expansions and really let them grow and tell the whole story without having to squeeze things into less than two years.....
