Go bitch about companies not playing taxes on Facebook OR whatever. This is a forum to discuss WoW. Not Blizz business model.
Yohohoho
I mean you aren't wrong.
But this isn't one of them nor does it have anything to do with them. It's on the higher up side of Activision.
There is loads to be critical about with Blizzard and rightly so. Again this is not one of those things. To be mad at Activision about? Absolutely. But not Blizzard lol.
You could have just titled the thread "Blizzard sucks. Change my mind." and it still would have ended up the same way.
I'm not sure you should speak for the thread. There are actual posters that are proud of Blizzard doing this. No, I whine when a dumb poster acts self-righteous thinking the thread did nothing wrong when they have bullied me also. You just want to see some side of this. Only I can be a hypocrite, only I am an idiot, only I am a troll, only the thread has the right to insult others.
Bottom right pathetic...proof read also, please.

Activision and Blizzard are one of the same company now. All the original founders of Blizzard are long gone. You can't point to activison anymore.
Don't you know? You're supposed to continually pay redundant positions just so you don't have to lay people off! Does it suck that people like Ythisens got fired? Yes, but they have Bornakk who can not only fill the same role, he can fill it with out stirring up people as much it seems.
I'm pretty sure at this point Blizz could registry World of Warcraft as religion to avoid taxes. Well, at least WoW Classic or High Elves Church ;D.
And btw (if I remember correctly) gamers messiah, CDPR, received some money from polish government. Are they evil-greedy-shitty now too?
If you view everything from the lens that Blizzard never operates in the interest of its players, yeah. That's an easy observation to make. I'm even willing to agree with you to an extent. But honestly, despite all the negativity I have a hard time believing there aren't people working at the company who genuinely care about the feedback its players give and generally want things to work out in the best way they can.
Didn't HeelsvsCryBabyFace do a video crying about this topic? If so, I automatically assume it's factually incorrect and full of emotional straw-men, as is HeelvsNeverRelevant modus operandi.
Also hi Az.

I 100% agree with you. The art team on the WoW team is fantastic. And I believe there are many great employees. But I believe the people in charge like Ion and many others don't have a freaking clue how the company should be running. BFA, in my opinion, is one of the worst expansions to date. But that doesn't excuse the horrible decisions the company is making.
Did you ever expect over 12 years later that Blizzard is the #2 company in the world on tax evasion while trying to clear trash in SSC? No, I am disgusted an applaud at what the company has become and the direction it is going.
But that is beside the point. My main point is tax evasion.
Oh please, 'bullied' you? You opened your OP attacking, and you even attacked the wrong folks for the wrong reasons with wrong information. Can you be any more dishonest than that? Then when called out you attacked those folks, now you want to play the victim. If you are a victim then you are a victim of your own actions and words....
Activision is the bus driver, Blizzard is a passenger, and Wow is one of the books in that passenger's book bag.
Tax evasion you say? (which is a crime by the way). Yet you make no offer of you know that thing called evidence (your OP doesn't contain any evidence of a crime). Perhaps knowing what you are talking about will save you from the responses you are getting.

--- Want any of my Constitutional rights?, ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ
I come from a time and a place where I judge people by the content of their character; I don't give a damn if you are tall or short; gay or straight; Jew or Gentile; White, Black, Brown or Green; Conservative or Liberal. -- Note to mods: if you are going to infract me have the decency to post the reason, and expect to hold everyone else to the same standard.
this is how our country works because we allow it to work this way. if you really are upset about this pay attention to politics and vote accordingly. currently your only hope of getting something like this changed anytime soon would be a vote for either yang or sanders. i disagree with too much of what sanders says, so that only leaves me with 1 candidate which is yang, and although he's gaining a lot of traction he'll likely end up 3rd after the debates just because of how far behind he is currently.
They would be wasting investor money if they didn't minimize their tax bill. This is when you write your congress critters, not yell at the business for being a good fiduciary.

This is the one case in which you can point at Activision, because while the company body is called "Activision Blizzard" for PR-Sake, Activision is the management. Blizzard is just a studio and lost its special rights a few years ago. Blame them for lack of quality and for their bad way to handle feedback. Financial aspects are Fatboy Koticks personal shithouse tho.
So do almost all american companies tho, because your country is a corporate-frathouse thanks to people like President Orange. Not really worth talking about it. Despicable, yes, but not worth talking about. Of course we both know you only do it because you are one of the disgruntled people that quit the game and now wants to make everyone else hate it as much as you do so they quit as well. Seen that plenty. But you be you, because its totally correct to be mad about this kind of practice otherwise. Just going to say your rage is... aimed poorly.
