Blizzard thought they didn't but they did.

All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.
Why are people continuing to support this company?

Blizzard employee's letter is also not good.
It has woke and left agenda driven all over it, these are also the people blizzard don’t need activists that want politics and agendas seen in all of entertainment.
Wolfie Pandaren Shaman - Pet Collection - Mount Collection
Pinfire Dwarf Hunter - SaintJoan Draenei Paladin - Sadiefalk Human Rogue - Hamartanein Dwarf Warlock
Lotusdream Pandaren Monk - Aponyia Tauren Shaman
Lol she basically just said "after this blows over, the games will make themselves". Good luck I guess.
You, like alot of people on here, like to think short term. Short term(right now) wow suffers. Streamers dont play it, everyone shittalks them for whatever and people play FFXIV thinking its "so much better than wow ever was". Makes you wonder - why didnt these people just play FFXIV long ago?
Soon enough, people are bored of FFXIV, so New World takes over for a while. Will probably get hailed first month(s), then people get bored. Suddenly, we are close to a new wow patch and more importantly - a new wow xpac. For all we know, that xpac might turn out very good. Also, the lawsuit and all that stuff will be months ago and people forget so easily.
I dont think Activison needs to worry to much about it at all. A proper 10.0 and 99% of the playerbase forget whatever happend in 2021.
but but according to streamers and youtube personalities, everybody hates the game and they are losing subs despite the pandemic. Waaah reality doesn't align with their narrativeee
It's not even that. I mean I don't want to be "that guys" who is like: This can't be true, I know they are failing cause I don't like them anymore.
But only the first two lines are actual data. The rest are guesswork, predictions and the like. Totally worthless. As proven by what happened just over the course of one month after the quarter ended.
This is only going to end one way... with Bobby firing half the staff and saying "please write another letter".
I mean they can certainly create the perception of something happening but at the end of the day if your average user is still having fun in WoW what a streamer does isn't going to change that. I certainly haven't noticed anyone in my guild or friend list leaving WoW for FFXIV. I do know one guy who plays both though.

Let's hope they fully unionize. That'll get the corporate types sweating.
lol Sorry
you as an employee, do not dictate terms to a company. The only time you have that kind of leverage is if they value you enough to follow through. And I can tell you right now, you aren't going to be around there for as long as you think.
Color me shocked, no impending doom spelled out for WoW (or SL in particular) despite 3rd party website's OH SO RELIABLE reporting about the game supposedly losing all of its players to FFX-fucking-IV...
BUT, this quarterly is not, imo, a reliable source for seeing the fallout of the controversy on the companies. That'll come next quarterly. But, if going by the Hong Kong controversy, I'd doubt it'll have much of an impact on the financials.
