Alright let’s have this talk, but let’s say the most important part first:
Lives and livelihoods are vastly more important than the timing or even the existence of a video game, full stop. I’d like to think we all realize and acknowledge this, and just so everyone won’t have to disclaim it individually I have said it up front for all of you.
That part said, let’s get real about it, in its own thread where the above has been made clear. How much, if at all will the wildfire situation impact Shadowlands and/or WoW’s schedule or even existence? Has this happened before with the game unaffected? I don’t recall WoWhead mentioning the wildfires before and I’d like a frank discussion on the actual possibilities.
We can acknowledge the inherent, obvious priorities here and still discuss the issue in the context those priorities establish, so let’s do that. We can also dedicate this thread and update it as things specifically develop.
