That developer who put out his dumb tweet should get a warning. He literally poured gasoline into the fire that Blizzard is already in. I'd be pretty damn pissed if I was the higher up.
That dev on twitter literally invented someone in their head to cry about. Ah yes because the players are the toxic ones. Definitely not the gropey devs in their own studio.
@@wewoweewoo You make a great point. If they would just use bots they could actually fire all their negative employees and make less mistakes. Of course, the problem is the entire gaming industry as well as upper management. But if bots would just do the overly repetitive programming then they could get some work done and spend the spare time making the actual video game!
"If you complain that the next patch is going to take longer, you're part of the problem." No dude, your company being a fucking shambles is the reason that it's taking longer, it's literally all YOUR problem.
if a dev or any part of the company complains on the player base, then its all over. they have lost respect to their costumers and subscribers. they are so down low that they will point at anyone that do wrong to them and they wont blame themselves cuz why would they. its human nature to not be at fault for ones self mistakes
@@profparadox9871 That doesn’t always happen. Sometimes, when consumers get too invested in a company’s products, they’ll end up becoming apologists that will continue defending them to the end even at their own expense.
That's pretty much literally a scene in Life Is Strange, and it's just as ironic because you're supposed to sympathize with the character that does it.
EA are only seen as evil because of their Rampant Capitalism. I work in the industry and ive heard nothing but good things from EA's studios from an employee's perspective - Its always the devs that everyone praises that are the blood sucking leeches. We all knew CD Projekt was going to crash and burn a few years ago, you guys should really listen to people in industry more often when it comes to stuff like this - and when I say that I don't mean journalists. Didn't know a single person in industry excited for Cyberpunk. Customers are way too biased, I'm glad people are stopping worshiping these companies. Studios are not the same if 90% of the staff leave.
If the bald man has that great of an influence over the fate of your game blizzard. Then that means you fucked up big time. Fact you're blaming customers that supported you with monthly subs is without words the biggest lackluster of a response. I have little over a week left. You can keep the account after. Think I am done with this toxic relationship we have. Its not you its... me.
Ah yes, we gamers are causing staff to sexually harass women. Should have known the holy land that blizz resides in was corrupted by us wanting a fun game.
BlizzDev:" Do you know how many women we have to pillage like a meth Addled viking for you to get that fucking Raid Tier you'll complain about?!" Everyone:"... None?!" BlizzDev:"Shows what you know we have to harass like 6 metric tons of women for a fucking raid tier." Everyone:" You literally do not have to do that." BlizzDev:" Oh you think you know how to code *Waves large rubber dong around* Alex hated paladins so much you'll never know what he did... Everyone:"Wtf... Are you drunk right now?" BlizzDev:"There is puke and shit in my pants at this moment, I'm dedicated to this, do you not have sexual assaults against you?" Everyone:"You're Randy Quaid now. BlizzDev:" hahahahaha *Chews on Keyboard* "
@@lyuris277 Diablo was originally a documentary about working at Blizzard. Mistakes were realized and they changed the name from "Earth" to "Sanctuary".
The hilariously ridiculous part of this otherwise horrifying situation is that there are people at BlizzActivision, right this second, that think Asmon (and others) are at fault for how THEY treat women inside THEIR offices. "Our fans are toxic meanies, so I forcibly gave Sheila in Accounting a shoulder massage despite her saying 'get away from me, you creep'." -- Activision Supervisor, probably.
the reason you dont like the game is because it is your work. u need to farm that token. sexual harrassment imo is supposed to be a misconduct of individuals not a company but oh ye its the american state so¨and .. ye they can steal money from private companies and their investors sure.. USA USA
Blizzard should sell World of Warcraft instead of purposely destroying it. Blizzard hasn’t done a single long term positive thing for wow in 10 years +
Exactly, bastards need to sell the IP off to an actually passionate team who in turn shut down wow for a few years, rework everything and release it as wow 2. Like what ff14 did
@Urusovite You're too smart for us sp. But you basically said the same thing the original comment said, but since you're only capable of seeing everything at face value, you didn't read that he didn't specify who said it to the child. Because no matter what and in no context can you say "the child is the reason" you said it yourself already "some fathers are cowards" thus the reason for leaving is because he's a coward. Child is just an excuse to justify the act.
@@nicholaspickolas- Yeah. I don't think Blizzard exec sexually assaulting a girl to suicide, having a suite where they sexually assaulted women named after Bill Cosby, and being an all around shitty place to work if you are not an executive is quite the same as asmon being a toxic streamer. But please keep defending that WoW subscription
@@nicholaspickolas- you don’t even know what those two terms mean. Asmon is more closer to being a gaming nerd than the general usage of “frat boy” and “bro culture”. Plus, at the end of the day asmon isn’t the one sexually harassing people. That’s all BlizzActivision.

How dare you say such a reasonable thing! Now I have to go harrass my female co workers you toxic gamer! - probably some activision blizzard supervisor
Exactly and if they say it's not possible just look at what Yoshi P did in FFXIV 1.0. They removed sub fee's while they were actively working on the game to fix it.
Lmao i was thinking this yesterday like wait a minute if they're not working on my game i play then why the hell do i have to pay for it? To be honest it'd be funny to see a shit ton of people unsubscribe after hearing about it
Blizzard: trade offer guys, •we get your hard earned money every month, we will also harass our female coworkers. •you get a shitty broken and boring game that will receive no updates for months on end. And you will get blamed for everything bad we do.
It’s a guarantee we get some in game event that will involve rainbows, they’ll tweet a black square, and people will stop caring about what the company does to people because atleast the company is in “their side”

Well now your youth has been molded by marx and they can no longer create, only destroy. best thing you could do at this point is ignore SJW's and punish your kids propperly for misbehaving. In 20 yrs you might turn it around.
Blizzard: "If you are going to complain about having no content for a while, you are part of the problem" Then give us however long it's going to take for you to get back and continue developing the game as free subscription. It's only fair. Take a month or two, heck even 3 months off to sort your shit out, but don't expect us to pay for 0 development time.
Blaming "players" won't fix anything. Blaming "society" won't fix anything. People need to take _personal responsibility_. The people doing wrong should be punished, the people NOT doing wrong, should NOT be punished under the guise of "fixing society"
God that reminds me when I worked at target and the HR person would do everyone's training for them so that they could be on the floor working, so no one actually did any of the anti-"whatever" trainings
I spent more than half my life playing this game. It hurts me so bad to see how far Blizzard has fallen. I don't believe this is just about the lawsuit, but rather YEARS of mismanagement coming to a head. They have purposely ignored their community, openly mocked us, and gave us the bare minimum for YEARS. They have made it clear they do NOT care about us.
Tbh you only need a few bad apples to spoil the entire bunch. A dozen great, nonharasser employees doesn't help if a single belligerent harasser dominates the team. Even worse if there is more than one per dozen.
Why you guys keep playing their games? The power to put an end to their behavior is on the players hands. Hurt them at the only place they care, the pockets.
@@IvanM272 Cause blizzard fanboys have stockholm syndrome. Since the first expansion all they do is complain about the game yet they keep playing as long as daddy Blizzard provides (while daddy also hits them and takes their money) . That nobody decided to stop buying Blizzard products after the shitshow that was Diablo 3 says enough about how these people think. I don't have respect for anyone who behaves like this, perhaps they need to find some intrinsic values.
@@mrillis9259 Real woke and fake woke are two different things, and it's always the fake woke that makes you go broke. Because being "real woke" is just being a decent, enlightened human being and that doesnt lead to going broke. Stop. Being. Pedantic.
So they decide to stall progress, but forget the fact that we are monthly paying for them to develop the game, its not like we are getting content for free...
There's a few people in these comments saying WoW is still such an *amazing* game, so a fair bit of people. There's always gonna be those that weirdly work against their own self-interests. It's crazy.
@@DimSK. Yeah. Like they never 'left the good old days'. You're not wrong. How often do you hear older players talking about how KEWL the older expansions were? It's apparent they're holding on for the hopes of that game coming back. Even Asmon has said it himself: "I don't want to play a better game, I just want WoW to be good." That's some serious copium right there. But it ain't happenin', my friends. SO many great games out there. WoW can die and the world will be just fine.
Come on man. I’ve never played WoW but know people who have for the past 20 odd years. This isn’t going to stop anyone and will blow over by the end of the year. Guaranteed.
I don't htink they are having a good time. Making a video game is stresfull work - I don't blame them for getting drunk a bit - they are unable to get to a bar like regular people - so the company provides one on their grounds after hours. Tech companies try to keep employees after work at the offices constantly. They provide all kinds of stuff - from fitness to game rooms etc ... they don't like employees to get home. Because they can call them at any minute an emergency arrises and it's a bug to fix. Unfortunatley that's not a good way to keep employees at. Specialy if some of them are literal creeps. In normal job, you would suffer them for 8h and then go home. And they would also get different outlets. But when people are required to stay in office for 12h or 16h even more ... yeah.... sorry you are stuck with a creep .... who is also drunk now. Only people having fun making video games are indie developers who do it for a hobby and not for money and have a regular job to pay their bills. So what if they spend more time than it is worth? It's a hobby. Even if they lose money, not make it, they will still do it ... just like people do with other hobbies. Once it becomes a job and focus is on profitability ... then it's another story. I know people like to think developers make games for hobby or passion, and are just a bunch of people having fun ... yeah if that was the case they would not survive for long. People have to make money to survive. Reality is it's a job. And peope take it as you or me take other jobs. They can't wait to have some free time - except they rarely get to during crunch hours.... which may last for months!
Haha yes I love these comments supporting FF14. I don't even play but as long as it kills blizzard I wouldn't care if the game that did it was pooping in your pants simulator.
The best thing that can happen at this point is if every gamer on Blizzards games just abandoned their servers all at once and ended subscriptions for WOW, unlikely but it would be well deserved.
let's be honest here, we knew that all along.. i knew it when cata launched that wow will never die to a competitor. it will be blizzard itself that will kill it. And as years passed by, i was more sure that this was going to happen.. with all those wanna be wow killer games faling miserably.
me too, back then lots of people laughed at me for boycotting a company over that, but it wasen't just that... could see the writing on the wall, old blizzard was gone, and all that was left was a soulless husk... have to know when to walk away.
@@OfficialRunechatDicing Still not making any sense. Read the person's comment. "Old Blizzard was gone when they made D3 transgender." What about this holds any water? How was D3 transgender? Why wasn't it the fact that D3 was just a really, really bad game? Was there a 'non-binary' gender choice I missed somewhere? I played the game for a full season and 'trans' was not a 'problem' that stood out to me at all. The comment was just transphobic.
blizzard sucks and so does their costumers. They are meant for each other. i'd rather have any other costumer than those of WoW. Probably the worst crybabbies in the gaming world who have NO idea what they want. And on the other hand you have blizzard.. a company failing miserably to live in the shadow of the TITAN they once were.
@@akhsdenlew1861 Let me know which costume Blizzard normally wear. But on a serious note, I played alot of blizzard games in the past except WoW cause I was dirt poor back in the days. But its the game and company that encourages toxic behaviour. I doubt WoW players only exclusively play WoW, they sure as fuck played other games from other major AAA company. Why aren't those company bitching around as much as Blizzard did? FIFA has been mocked for decades from their player base, even their chatroom during new FIFA launch etc etc. Do you see them bitch about it? No, cause its fucking true its a recycled game with little effort to make. And they know these fuckers will still buy the game regardless that's why they chose to STFU about it and not trigger anything unnecessary. Imagine, even EA's Fifa devs have more common sense than the whole fucking Blizzard. Oh let me remind you, SC is dead. Overwatch getting fucked by valorant (F2P), while overwatch 2 didn't get as much hype as it should while its being developed now. Diablo Immortal? LOL. So tell me my dear, apart from claiming WoW fanbase destroyed Blizzard, what else you gonna say. If toxic fanbase can affect your company as a whole, then perhaps they really should shut it down. The only power that we consumer have over this is to stop giving money that's all. Other than that it's fully on the company itself.
@@janyeen93 noone said that blizzard is not to blame here, the majority of blame belongs to blizzard.. nor the community "ruined" the good blizzard. Those are your words. The point is that blizzard fucked up, and that's a fact, noone's here to argue that, that's A FACT, period. BUT there's always a BUT. The community that blizzard has is toxic and one of the worst. They are a bunch of cry babbies that will cry and complain about ANYTHING. No matter what blizzard throw at them at this point, good, bad, terrible, Excellent, they will complain cus thats what they learnt to do. And the most noticable flawd of this community is the fact that they have NO idea what they want. They can ask something, they might get it, and then they complain at blizzard about the very thing they asked, like classic vanilla. Now the assumptions you make about blizzard players playing other games is just wierd and irrelevant. They can be the toxic kids in wow and at the same time they can be the best gentlemen at some other game for all i know and care. Or maybe they don't, maybe all the know is World of warcraft and they were never able to stick to another game for more than 2 weeks. Who are you to know? To sum up, blizzard is at the edge, they are on the verge of "death" and all these insults is a reaction to that situation, which of course will only make things worst. They made this happen with their terrible decision and they deserve some wake up slap... the situation with blizzard right know is beyond terrible. For all i care they can disband and i wouldn't give a damn. But don't dare to pretend that the community is angelic and they cought in blizzard's nets.. they deserve each other. A toxic company for a toxic community.
@@akhsdenlew1861 Then we are pretty much on the same page. I didn't deny WoW has toxic fanbase. I agree pretty much everything you said except "And the most noticable flawd of this community is the fact that they have NO idea what they want." If game is good, people will play it, as simple as that. There's many game that break the normal norm and became a genre or specialty of their own. No one knows what to expect, but if its great, people would think "well I didn't expect a game can be this way or I never know I needed this in a game and I love it". Gamers always have a rough idea of what they expect of a game. Most common one for MMORPG would be "I hope it wont be p2w", "great story", or "good combat mechanic (which i think WoW did great based on what I've heard". Its seriously so fucking weird when consumer get fucking called off by a company that claimed that the consumers are ignorant and don't know what they want.
@@akhsdenlew1861 Also take Dota and LoL for example. MOBA has been infamous for their utterly toxic playerbase. There's one time when Valve didn't release a halloween event, players spammed "Diretide" on Volvo page until Volvo get scared of it. Yes, the car manufacturer Volvo. Since then Valve never dare to skip on the event. Despite this, I've never seen the playerbase hated or complained as much on these companies. Why? Because Valve is a decent company, and so maybe is Riot in terms of their games. My point is both side sucks, but to call their own player ignorant and not knowing what they want is outright dumb. You played a game for decades and doesn't know what QoL or patches thats needed? I call BS on that.
Blizzard: You guys just keep complaining and being toxic that the content we give you isnt enough or not finished Us: Torghast for 8 months straight same thing over and over
Because a blizzard employee basically said, "hey, we're trying to fix the issue, here. Going back to work would just allow the issue to continue." But less detailed lol Edit: You think that THAT is blizzard taking hate to a whole new level lmao tf
I love how he added shareholders... There it is right there. Players and developers where included only so they wouldn't be sooo blatant on who the priority is.
Blizzard are a lost cause right now. Business 101, the customer is always right, and under no circumstances do ever blame the customer for wanting better service.
The customer shouldn't always be right, but surely should be treated with the utmost respect as long the customer is himself respectful, and sure as hell shouldn't be used as a scapegoat for the company's own faults. I mean, we're not even talking about over-work due to the pressure of customers' desires, it's all about gratious acts of harassment and discrimination within Blizzard's own workplaces; blaming the customers over something like this is beyond abhorrent and nothing but the work of the very shitty persons who are trying to find idiotic justifications for their despicable behavior.
@@scorpiowarrior7841 like a celebrity everyone loves, but then they do a whole list of drugs for years, cut themselves off from their fans and do a much of dumb shit... the husk is all that's left.
You know what shocks me the most? The fact that there's still people defending Blizzard and even more that can only see the tip of the iceberg (that would be sexual misconduct) and just fail to see that Blizzard has failed in every way possible and needs to be nuked and rebuilt. What are the chances of this happening you ask? Close to zero IMO.
Its the same people who want nothing short of dna evidence otherwise blizzard is innocent. Personal testimony is considered evidence in US courts and it seems, what, a few thousand employees are willing to do that? Cmon man lol
I smell through my phone that most people writing "I can't support that anymore" indeed support a dozen companies that are worse than blizzard on a daily basis. Just because they are not part of the online gaslight community, doesn't mean the parts in your PC, the resources in your phone, or the meet on your table, nor the water from nestle, are any dot better, than a minority at blizzard doing shit and abusing their power. The only difference being, you are emotionally invested.
I assumed his point was more if you're saying "Who cares, just get back to making the game." Then that's bad. Which isn't the same as "Fix this issue and get back to making the game like we pay you to."
No, his point was obviously "if you are concerned about getting screwed over on the product you are paying for at a time when people are being abused at work you are part of the problem for not caring enough about the people." You are trying to add context as if he's differentiating between two different groups who are angry about getting screwed on their sub. He isnt. He's just lumping them all into one group. It's those who care about a content drought and those that dont.
Exactly. What's the entire dev team doing to actively fix this problem that they can't fix their trash game? But whatever man I don't have any expectations from blizzard, not since diablo 3 auction house. Anyone with any real talent or creativity left/got laid off/got fired from that joke of a company long ago.
Personally, I won’t support a company like that. Management is fucked and this news is discussing. I get people need jobs but they ought to be looking rn, idk why you’d want to stay in a company like that to begin with.

I feel so bad for Preach, man. He built an entire company to create content for everything World of Warcraft. It's how he literally supports his family. And now he's done with it completely? I can't even imagine what he's planning on doing next. I just hope it works out for him, and for other content creators that feel like they can't morally continue to cover World of Warcraft. I haven't played the game in years, but I hate seeing innocent people lose their livelihoods because a company can't get its shit together.
I want Blizzard to round up Warcraft, like a real round up. Sell the IP to someone else and actually do a complete restart in the same universe, somewhere else.
Considering how low profit projects get simply canned in this industry, as soon as there is no imidiatly short turn profit on the Horizon... i highly doubt that we will see a propper Warcraft game again

Fans aren't toxic , blizzard just but hurt. There a difference between speech you hate and hate speech. Seems like blizzard had not grown up yet . Most of us are not made of candy glass
Blizz fans are toxic, but they certainly aren’t to blame for Blizzard’s actions. If anything Blizzard once again only have themselves to blame for fostering an enabling such toxicity.
There's so much players *wanting* compensation, threatening to quit the game cause of this or that issue. spending over 3 hours typing insults about blizzard. I have to deal with players in Starcraft 2 arcade about their 5 hours ranting Politic talks, vaccinations and racism. There's always these people who would type so much bullshiet and they don't even feel guilty about it. Fans are toxic, blizzard is Immature and a hypocrite.
Let's face it this isn't mainly because of the harrasment (which BTW is just alleged at this point) it's just the final straw. People left by the millions before the allegations came out
You are talking about one game. I am talking about overall. Activision blizzard make a few games including many that are still very popular. Take away this extra bs and most could feel fairly secure in their position. Now things are getting much more hairy for them even the ones who were the victims.
Stocks are volatile. Even rumors can wildly swing stock prices, what more actual State-filed lawsuits. Part of stock price is trust, especially by stakeholders, and this includes customers.
If you look at tech stocks across the board... faaang, gaming companies, etc, are all down pretty substantially the past two days mostly due to word that China is cracking down on tech companies, coupled with new covid restrictions being back in place.
@@ryboy200 CCP forced people to stop cryptocurrency mining. They were 60% of all the crypto miners in the world. They are doing what authoritarians do. The whole tech sector in China is getting hit hard.
Nostalgia and afraid of change(what am i gonna do if i no longer have my 15 year old wow acc that ive spent 3k hours on)is what makes people keep paying the monthly sub. And that alone is the only reason wow hasnt died long time ago. People are veery attached to their characters and they are naive af and thinks things will be better next expansion. Just stop giving them ur money and maybe they will realize something
They have an issue that THEY caused and they want to blame their paying customers? Who are the toxic ones? The ones doing the sexual shit not the customers innocently paying for a service.
They need to stop charging subs until they figure things out. When FFXIV 1.0 announced that a rework will be done, they stopped charging subs and allowed players to continue playing the game for free.
Also, players who stuck around since 1.0 got a permanent discount for their subscription. If that isn't a turn-around Blizzard is willing to make, then they don't deserve a redemption.
This is the new meta. If a movie gets trashed it's because of Russian bots or racists. If a video game gets lampooned it's because of misogynists and Fascist sleeper cells tucked up in the Rockies.
The scariest thing I saw, in trade chat on my realm people were legitimately trying to justify blizzards actions solely because they wanted wrath, some people actually typed “this lawsuit doesn’t mean shit don’t worry we’re still getting wrath” as if that matters at all
I would be so surprised how many players had told blizzard how to improve the game without destorying it while everyone can be happy about the "development" of the game. And now they say players are not helping. Well blizzard you earned it.
Activision Blizzard in court: "You're honour, the gamers made me do it, they were being toxic, okay? Don't you understand? I didn't know no better, come on man, the gamers made me do it. Come on man."
When I just hear the word "Blizzard" only negative things come to my mind. I think their reputation is ruined forever. I honestly think the few creative people left should build something new from scratch
@@martinalegre5524 yah dude, forever. It's like a husband that beat his wife until she was in the hospital and then she says "My view of him has been ruined forever, I WILL NEVER GO BACK" then someone like you says "I dont think its ruined "forever" ppl can change, lets see if they can" lol yeah, no, stop sticking up for horrific abusers and show some fucking sympathy for the victims.
one of the things that sucks is the people who quit that had no idea this stuff was going on will probably have a very hard time finding new jobs in the industry having blizzard on the resume because no one is going to know if they were part of this lawsuit at all
The worst part about it that Body will get his extra at the end of the year no matter what and prob regular devs, programmers, designers and community managers will be those who gets fired
Wonderful my ass, these problems have been running since the 2000s if not earlier, I love their games but blizzard does not deserve to be called anything but awful.
I stopped ranting and caring about this stuff 5 years ago... It's amazing to see people finally waking up and showing they care! 💖 ...this has gone on for far too long.
Every wow player from over 16 years ago from alpha to beta to launch to the problems with community managers in paladin and shaman fourms and many many other things. It's a miracle its taken this long for shit to really hit the fan.

EA are only seen as evil because of their Rampant Capitalism. I work in the industry and ive heard nothing but good things from EA's studios from an employee's perspective - Its always the devs that everyone praises that are the blood sucking leeches. We all knew CD Projekt was going to crash and burn a few years ago, you guys should really listen to people in industry more often when it comes to stuff like this - and when I say that I don't mean journalists. Didn't know a single person in industry excited for Cyberpunk. Customers are way too biased, I'm glad people are stopping worshiping these companies.

To think blizzard used to be a bunch of dudes sitting in a room just makin wow having a good time. Times change.
@twizzm bro what tf u thinking
I don't htink they are having a good time. Making a video game is stresfull work - I don't blame them for getting drunk a bit - they are unable to get to a bar like regular people - so the company provides one on their grounds after hours. Tech companies try to keep employees after work at the offices constantly. They provide all kinds of stuff - from fitness to game rooms etc ... they don't like employees to get home. Because they can call them at any minute an emergency arrises and it's a bug to fix.
Unfortunatley that's not a good way to keep employees at. Specialy if some of them are literal creeps. In normal job, you would suffer them for 8h and then go home. And they would also get different outlets. But when people are required to stay in office for 12h or 16h even more ... yeah.... sorry you are stuck with a creep .... who is also drunk now.
Only people having fun making video games are indie developers who do it for a hobby and not for money and have a regular job to pay their bills. So what if they spend more time than it is worth? It's a hobby. Even if they lose money, not make it, they will still do it ... just like people do with other hobbies. Once it becomes a job and focus is on profitability ... then it's another story.
I know people like to think developers make games for hobby or passion, and are just a bunch of people having fun ... yeah if that was the case they would not survive for long. People have to make money to survive. Reality is it's a job. And peope take it as you or me take other jobs. They can't wait to have some free time - except they rarely get to during crunch hours.... which may last for months!

@@akhsdenlew1861 Let me know which costume Blizzard normally wear. But on a serious note, I played alot of blizzard games in the past except WoW cause I was dirt poor back in the days. But its the game and company that encourages toxic behaviour. I doubt WoW players only exclusively play WoW, they sure as fuck played other games from other major AAA company. Why aren't those company bitching around as much as Blizzard did? FIFA has been mocked for decades from their player base, even their chatroom during new FIFA launch etc etc. Do you see them bitch about it? No, cause its fucking true its a recycled game with little effort to make. And they know these fuckers will still buy the game regardless that's why they chose to STFU about it and not trigger anything unnecessary. Imagine, even EA's Fifa devs have more common sense than the whole fucking Blizzard.
Oh let me remind you, SC is dead. Overwatch getting fucked by valorant (F2P), while overwatch 2 didn't get as much hype as it should while its being developed now. Diablo Immortal? LOL.

The community that blizzard has is toxic and one of the worst.
They are a bunch of cry babbies that will cry and complain about ANYTHING.
No matter what blizzard throw at them at this point, good, bad, terrible, Excellent, they will complain cus thats what they learnt to do. And the most noticable flawd of this community is the fact that they have NO idea what they want.
They can ask something, they might get it, and then they complain at blizzard about the very thing they asked, like classic vanilla.
Now the assumptions you make about blizzard players playing other games is just wierd and irrelevant.
They can be the toxic kids in wow and at the same time they can be the best gentlemen at some other game for all i know and care.
Or maybe they don't, maybe all the know is World of warcraft and they were never able to stick to another game for more than 2 weeks.
Who are you to know?
To sum up, blizzard is at the edge, they are on the verge of "death" and all these insults is a reaction to that situation, which of course will only make things worst.
They made this happen with their terrible decision and they deserve some wake up slap... the situation with blizzard right know is beyond terrible.

If game is good, people will play it, as simple as that. There's many game that break the normal norm and became a genre or specialty of their own. No one knows what to expect, but if its great, people would think "well I didn't expect a game can be this way or I never know I needed this in a game and I love it".
Gamers always have a rough idea of what they expect of a game. Most common one for MMORPG would be "I hope it wont be p2w", "great story", or "good combat mechanic (which i think WoW did great based on what I've heard".
Its seriously so fucking weird when consumer get fucking called off by a company that claimed that the consumers are ignorant and don't know what they want.
@@akhsdenlew1861 Also take Dota and LoL for example. MOBA has been infamous for their utterly toxic playerbase. There's one time when Valve didn't release a halloween event, players spammed "Diretide" on Volvo page until Volvo get scared of it. Yes, the car manufacturer Volvo. Since then Valve never dare to skip on the event. Despite this, I've never seen the playerbase hated or complained as much on these companies. Why? Because Valve is a decent company, and so maybe is Riot in terms of their games.
My point is both side sucks, but to call their own player ignorant and not knowing what they want is outright dumb. You played a game for decades and doesn't know what QoL or patches thats needed? I call BS on that.

The customer shouldn't always be right, but surely should be treated with the utmost respect as long the customer is himself respectful, and sure as hell shouldn't be used as a scapegoat for the company's own faults. I mean, we're not even talking about over-work due to the pressure of customers' desires, it's all about gratious acts of harassment and discrimination within Blizzard's own workplaces; blaming the customers over something like this is beyond abhorrent and nothing but the work of the very shitty persons who are trying to find idiotic justifications for their despicable behavior.

Just because they are not part of the online gaslight community, doesn't mean the parts in your PC, the resources in your phone, or the meet on your table, nor the water from nestle, are any dot better, than a minority at blizzard doing shit and abusing their power. The only difference being, you are emotionally invested.
Let's boycott consumerism
I have yet to give money to sexual assaulters, apart from blizzard, so idk
First Method, now Blizzard.. at least no risk with asmon as he’s been stuck in his room for so long
His hair, most molesters and predators gave full hair do ya, he is clean
I assumed his point was more if you're saying "Who cares, just get back to making the game." Then that's bad. Which isn't the same as "Fix this issue and get back to making the game like we pay you to."
No, his point was obviously "if you are concerned about getting screwed over on the product you are paying for at a time when people are being abused at work you are part of the problem for not caring enough about the people." You are trying to add context as if he's differentiating between two different groups who are angry about getting screwed on their sub. He isnt. He's just lumping them all into one group. It's those who care about a content drought and those that dont.
Exactly. What's the entire dev team doing to actively fix this problem that they can't fix their trash game? But whatever man I don't have any expectations from blizzard, not since diablo 3 auction house. Anyone with any real talent or creativity left/got laid off/got fired from that joke of a company long ago.
They need a huge overhaul. There's just way to many underlying issues, that has infected the roots of the corporate
Personally, I won’t support a company like that. Management is fucked and this news is discussing. I get people need jobs but they ought to be looking rn, idk why you’d want to stay in a company like that to begin with.

You said it yourself, people need jobs. But i'm pretty sure that alot of employees are looking for other jobs right now.

He doesn't even realize lol
"If player's that are being mean to you, cause you to inappropriately touch your coworkers. You should find a different job"
I fucking died. 🤣
I feel so bad for Preach, man. He built an entire company to create content for everything World of Warcraft. It's how he literally supports his family. And now he's done with it completely? I can't even imagine what he's planning on doing next. I just hope it works out for him, and for other content creators that feel like they can't morally continue to cover World of Warcraft.
I haven't played the game in years, but I hate seeing innocent people lose their livelihoods because a company can't get its shit together.
Wizards of the Coast are up there with hating their players, definitely not more then blizzard, but close.
I want Blizzard to round up Warcraft, like a real round up.
Sell the IP to someone else and actually do a complete restart in the same universe, somewhere else.
Considering how low profit projects get simply canned in this industry, as soon as there is no imidiatly short turn profit on the Horizon... i highly doubt that we will see a propper Warcraft game again
Who wants to work on a 14 year old dead MMO when they can work on something like Diablo 4?
I wish they could just restore the old warcraft game before reforged... id rather take that AND pay for it then take whatever remade garbage they put out
That someone else could be worse imo.
@@caffeinefuelled9186 Yea true. At this point orgs should just MAKE ORIGINAL GAMES and stop being lazy while going for "remakes"... its so played out in games and movies like ffs lets get some originality back.
Honestly so sad. I played Starcraft 1 Brood Wars when I was in middle school and the cinematics were INSANE and after that I started Diablo 1, Diablo 2, Warcraft 3. This company is my childhood, I've played every single one of their game and it went from my favorite company to now, I don't even want to touch their games cause it's Blizzard's game....
Fans aren't toxic , blizzard just but hurt. There a difference between speech you hate and hate speech. Seems like blizzard had not grown up yet . Most of us are not made of candy glass
Fans are absolutely toxic. Both things can be true.
Blizz fans are toxic, but they certainly aren’t to blame for Blizzard’s actions. If anything Blizzard once again only have themselves to blame for fostering an enabling such toxicity.
There's so much players *wanting* compensation, threatening to quit the game cause of this or that issue. spending over 3 hours typing insults about blizzard. I have to deal with players in Starcraft 2 arcade about their 5 hours ranting Politic talks, vaccinations and racism. There's always these people who would type so much bullshiet and they don't even feel guilty about it. Fans are toxic, blizzard is Immature and a hypocrite.
Many who faced harassment still work there. Imagine losing your career because you were harassed.
Let's face it this isn't mainly because of the harrasment (which BTW is just alleged at this point) it's just the final straw. People left by the millions before the allegations came out
You are talking about one game. I am talking about overall. Activision blizzard make a few games including many that are still very popular. Take away this extra bs and most could feel fairly secure in their position. Now things are getting much more hairy for them even the ones who were the victims.
Stocks are volatile. Even rumors can wildly swing stock prices, what more actual State-filed lawsuits. Part of stock price is trust, especially by stakeholders, and this includes customers.
If you look at tech stocks across the board... faaang, gaming companies, etc, are all down pretty substantially the past two days mostly due to word that China is cracking down on tech companies, coupled with new covid restrictions being back in place.
@@ryboy200 CCP forced people to stop cryptocurrency mining. They were 60% of all the crypto miners in the world. They are doing what authoritarians do. The whole tech sector in China is getting hit hard.
I honestly don't know how blizzard can fuck up every single thing they do. And still people buy their garbage
You misspelled Bethesda
Because they are addicts.
Nostalgia and afraid of change(what am i gonna do if i no longer have my 15 year old wow acc that ive spent 3k hours on)is what makes people keep paying the monthly sub. And that alone is the only reason wow hasnt died long time ago. People are veery attached to their characters and they are naive af and thinks things will be better next expansion.
Just stop giving them ur money and maybe they will realize something
@@No_OneV except eso.. And f76
@@77SBCR they actually fixed fallout, its pretty good atm
If no work is being done, then the sub fee should be paused too lol.
Why fund the future when the future is paused.
The company that allowed that kind of behavior is unacceptable.
They have an issue that THEY caused and they want to blame their paying customers? Who are the toxic ones? The ones doing the sexual shit not the customers innocently paying for a service.
Toxicity comes from the top and trickles down to the bottom. Everyone knows the most toxic players ever are WoW players.
Jk aside: I agree with you.
They need to stop charging subs until they figure things out. When FFXIV 1.0 announced that a rework will be done, they stopped charging subs and allowed players to continue playing the game for free.
yeah.. but the difference is that FFXIV devs give a shit about their game. Cant compare them to Blizzshit
Also, players who stuck around since 1.0 got a permanent discount for their subscription. If that isn't a turn-around Blizzard is willing to make, then they don't deserve a redemption.
Now there's a genuinely good idea!
Blizzard would never do that, they don't care.
@@lucylu3342 They will, but when it is to late, when they get desperate.
"Blizzard, you are unfit to wear the crown. Remember, nothing lasts." :D
This is the new meta. If a movie gets trashed it's because of Russian bots or racists. If a video game gets lampooned it's because of misogynists and Fascist sleeper cells tucked up in the Rockies.
Those sleeper cells are definitely very scary can you believe they're targeting video games?! Oh mah lawd haev murcee!
The scariest thing I saw, in trade chat on my realm people were legitimately trying to justify blizzards actions solely because they wanted wrath, some people actually typed “this lawsuit doesn’t mean shit don’t worry we’re still getting wrath” as if that matters at all
I would be so surprised how many players had told blizzard how to improve the game without destorying it while everyone can be happy about the "development" of the game.
And now they say players are not helping.
Well blizzard you earned it.
Activision Blizzard in court: "You're honour, the gamers made me do it, they were being toxic, okay? Don't you understand? I didn't know no better, come on man, the gamers made me do it. Come on man."
Did I just read that in Biden's voice?
When I just hear the word "Blizzard" only negative things come to my mind. I think their reputation is ruined forever. I honestly think the few creative people left should build something new from scratch
i dont think its ruined "forever" ppl can change, lets see if they can
@@martinalegre5524 yah dude, forever. It's like a husband that beat his wife until she was in the hospital and then she says "My view of him has been ruined forever, I WILL NEVER GO BACK" then someone like you says "I dont think its ruined "forever" ppl can change, lets see if they can" lol yeah, no, stop sticking up for horrific abusers and show some fucking sympathy for the victims.
Exactly ! Personnaly I don't even care about what happens in Blizzard's company. I just want a good game to play and have fun with my friends.
one of the things that sucks is the people who quit that had no idea this stuff was going on will probably have a very hard time finding new jobs in the industry having blizzard on the resume because no one is going to know if they were part of this lawsuit at all
The worst part about it that Body will get his extra at the end of the year no matter what and prob regular devs, programmers, designers and community managers will be those who gets fired
Disney is giving blizz a run for their money though.
Disney is 100x more evil. One day you dumb fucks will learn ALL fortune 500 companies are disgusting
Why are people just realizing this just now? Most people realized the old blizzard was gone 10 + years ago.
Bc the game is full of slaves who have spent thousands on the game over the years
It is so sad to see such a wonderful company ruined to the lowest point.
The company has been broken for longer than it was running well.
Wonderful my ass, these problems have been running since the 2000s if not earlier, I love their games but blizzard does not deserve to be called anything but awful.
They get can even lower, just wait
I stopped ranting and caring about this stuff 5 years ago...
It's amazing to see people finally waking up and showing they care! 💖
...this has gone on for far too long.
Blizzard is a lost cause.
Who would've guessed that the WoW developers are the worst examples of how toxic wow players act...
Every wow player from over 16 years ago from alpha to beta to launch to the problems with community managers in paladin and shaman fourms and many many other things. It's a miracle its taken this long for shit to really hit the fan.
most of these anti sexual harrassment courses are required by law anyway... so a lot of it is not even as proactive as you think... i live in ny and it is required by law that employees take sexual harrassment training
Seriously? Is that like a New York-only thing? I've never had to take a class like this in any job I've ever worked.
@@FlamingNinjaBoi same. Never had that kind of course. But I don't work in the US.
@@FlamingNinjaBoi its required by law in ny.
Dunno who will get the reference, but on that stock price...
"Warning: Entering ecological dead zone."
Yikes, who’s the ghost levi in this scenario
@@kimdyson8045 As much as they don't want to see warcraft fail.. Probably FFXIV capitalizing on their failure by just existing to catch the players.
@0:35 That KFC shits hilarious and too real. I once walked into my local KFC, the place smelled like raw sewage, the ceilings were leaking on tables, lobby lights flickering, I go to use the bathroom and there's a half eaten chicken leg next to the toilet.
Of course after I took a fat one I promptly went and ordered my bucket. Also their new sandwich is aces, way better than any of the competitions.
Yepp, just as predicted, Blizz is once again throwing gamers under the bus.
