This is biggest bullshit ever and I'm not sure if I've ever seen this childish/naive post lol. Yes people do leave companies for various reasons, and neither you or me know the reason for sure in this case.
You claiming that you are a "career professional" makes you less credible btw, because anyone who has actually experience from a large corporation and business in general knows you are talking out of your ass..
I'm still not even sure what the point of The Maw (as a zone) is.
Amazing sig, done by mighty Lokann
i'll just imagine it's a very dangerous place and being there chips away your soul fragment by fragment
Classic showed me, that my imagination is much more potent than voice actors, writers etc.
I can grind elementals for days without being bored, cuz i make up a little story for myself
Shadowlands is real world
The Maw is China
The Jailer is China government
Sylvanas is Blizz
When I played in the Maw, it was such a tiny zone, with both factions having the same hub. Not sure how it's gonna be at launch with a lot of players. Guess WM off is mandatory.
I did get some Diablo vibes from it though, and it's such a shame they wasted the opportunity to make it great.
Time for what? When? Release is in 3.5 weeks. The soonest they can update the Maw is next week which leaves us basically with one or two weeks of testing in beta.

Yeah because this is the case. They have fixed some major bugs, but their tuning ranged from -100 to 100, they have no idea on how to tune things. First they nerf, then they overpower and then they nerf again.
The biggest problem are still the Maw and many Covenant abilities. As a Shadow/ Holy Priest you're f* because all of them suck. Same for Enhancement Shaman, Druids etc. There are 2 weeks of beta left and they really didn't use the time they won with the delay. The only major thing they implemented where the Conduit and Soulbind changes (which really nobody asked for).

The thing with the Maw is, if you haven't played it, you don't know how bad it is.

I don't think he's necessarily a "sore loser".
I think the pattern is more like
1) "Wow that's a lot of money! We should sell!"
2) "Huh working for someone else isn't as fun as I expected after decades of basically being my own boss!"
3) "I guess I'll retired and roll around in the literally millions and millions of dollars I have"
4) "Okay that got old fast, I like actually making stuff..."
5) "I know, I'll start my own company!"
And if they live long enough, and do well, we get to:
6) "Wow that's a lot of money! We should sell!"
You see it in a lot of industries. Sore losers do exist, but they're usually pretty vocal about it. Like "My old company publicly blew goats, but my new one will be amazeballs". Also it sounds like Metzen has for a long time been more interested in TT games (RPGs and wargames) than computer games.

The response to them has been pretty much universally positive, including from previously-negative Youtubers, so "really nobody asked for..." is kind of funny. If nobody asked for it, given the response, it suggests Blizzard are, in fact, competent, and do, in fact, know better than Youtubers/you about some things.
"A youtuber said so."
"... some wow experts being interviewed..."
"According to researchers from Wowhead..."
If any other big game had a death centric vibe and made a zone you dread going to intentionally to fit thematically... it would receive nothing but praise for the developers “bravery”.
WoW does it and it’s trash. Okay.
