Fuck those hypocrites and their PR stunts. Good year my arse.

They did? All I received was their sales email. I guess that's what I deserve for supporting them for over a decade.
imagine the hellscape we'd live in if this was a wonderful year for blizzard
People have lost all confidence in Blizzard and that's why such a message is at least insincere. It would be better if they had not sent anything or rather an honest apology and a promise to make it better in 2019. At least for the sake of showing that they want to do better. In any case, i can understand why some react angrily, I'm also quite unhappy with the message.
Could have fooled me, since every main article posted on the front page of this site are WoW or Blizzard related. And in most of these articles all I see are the ramblings of angry autistic retards that can't get it through their thick heads to move on and do something more productive with their useless lives.
The thing is I get why people are unhappy.
But don't be unhappy at the message. Be unhappy at the product. Well critical you know what I mean.
The message is just a simple happy holidays one.
If you do wanna be critical which I totally get with Blizz this year (Diablo Immortal, BFA for some people and whatnot). Focus the attention there.
That's the same in the end. At the moment, everything that comes from Blizzard is evil at first and is viewed very critically. In order for that to change, they first have to win back their lost trust. Then the people will react normally to such things again - the topic would be worthy no more discussion.
Oh btw. it is not just Blizzard, the whole Industry is viewed very critically. It was a horrible year for gamers with lots of drama going on.

The thing is as I said I get the criticism but there are people enjoying their products.
Well I mean judging by the dislikes probably not Diablo Immortal.
I'm not saying you have to like the products. I'm saying is when you are being critical understand why people enjoy the products as well as your issues.
I mean I'm pissed at Diablo Immortal for example. It's not what they should have done in front of a PC gaming crowd and it's clear the majority are pissed on that one too. I mean sure people will enjoy it and it'll bring profit in the Asian market but to me it feels like Blizzard is dumping on a franchise that made them.
However I keep my criticism towards Immortal.

This was hype at blizzcon seeing it on the screen 3rd row back in the wow section - not nearly as hype now.
"welcome home" felt awesome at blizzcon, now its cheap.
It's also interesting that my position after blizzcon was "WOW I cannot wait to go to blizzcon again next year, it was awesome this year" to "I'm not going to blizzcon, I don't even play any blizz games atm"
I sure didnt get email
"Thanks" for not being "friends" since i got no e-mail but a honest thank you for all my years in Azeroth.
Blizzard basically says "We're going to Mobile!" which means "Get ready for those awesome microtransaction features, boosts and shortcuts!" and their leftist "We've got so much good stuff in store for you, our valued customers, around the world! Let the past die, kill it if you have to!"
So, you're a bunch of greedy P's of S who totally disrespect your 'valued customers' (mostly casual players) who are part of your 'awesome, passionate community' of super toxic elitists. You louses with your microtransaction survey into South America, a place where mobile and console gaming is really the mainstay, so you can get fixed positive feedback for the go-ahead on your mtx scamming and development for your Chinese, Brazilian and Mexican markets. You vipers with your time gating (war campaign, allied race locking, reputation gains), forced scarcity (weapons, reward chest, azerite armor) and player-punishing tactics (you found a way to gain azerite more quickly? BAD, BAD PLAYER! SUSPENDED! WE STEAL BACK YOUR REWARDS!)... to keep people paying for playing WoW. And of course, how pathetic you were to create a franchise and then abandon it because you couldn't monetize it well enough for your corporate overlords and their shareholders.
Go die together in a oil fire you Activision meat puppets.
I was almost fascinated at first how some people actually seem to honestly like the latest blizzard garbage like Bfa. How could someone find enjoyment in something so bad and lightyears away from what the game used to be even 1 expansion before. But at the end of the day its just shit standards. Its people who like crap stuff like theres people who like and play other crap mmos.
Which players did they send this to, I never got one
