Reddit and blizzard is owned by the same people anyhow.

I mean, when I spent 85 grand getting a degree in game art and design and then applied to work at Blizzard I would have taken a job “talking and dealing with all these trolls”… even though that’s what in the old days we used to call “customer service” and I’m sure thats not done anymore…and id be WAY overqualified for a CS position…But no… blizzard doesnt want to hire, the just want our money.

You guys mention some reddit reply, but not what the post was actually about. Anyone care to elaborate?
Blizzard don’t believe in news, it’s a form of white oppression

The official post will be on the forums tomorrow regarding 2.4. In the post we will have specific dates for release so people can prepare for 2.4 and ladder launch.

wow finally some good news ! you should post here more often. 3 posts on b.net forum. how many on reddit ?? this is actually something that bothers me when it comes to communication, why is reddit or twitter first response, and then a link on the forum to said twitter or reddit post? seems backwards.

Lack of communication on Battlenet. I don’t even know why I even visit the site for updates; like the other guy I said, why is Reddit or Twitter getting prioritized? I’m finally removing Battlenet from my bookmark after experiencing every Diablo news being delayed since the launch compare to other social platforms by 24-72 hours or sometimes even being completely ignored.

the information should have been released on this site 24 hours ago. at the time the reddit post went up. this is unacceptable from a 68 billion dollar company.

They decided to post where most ppl look. Which is reddit. Obv it wouldnt hurt to release the info on more platforms but if they only could pick one.
they definitely are not owned by the same people. advanced publishing owns reddit. activision/blizzard is currently its own entity, until the final contracts are in place for the purchase by microsoft. at which point it still wont be under the same ownership as reddit. not sure where you get your info, but its completely wrong.
feel like the basement baby thats been called by his name for the first time.
Welcome to the 21st Century and the Social Media Age.
ALL companies who provide a service and/or product that relies on consumption by the public use communication channels that will reach the largest number of eyeballs the fastest.
Which means Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit will take priority because so many more people will see the messages there than the much smaller communities who frequent any company’s official forums.
This isn’t a Blizzard thing – it’s just how businesses, in general, communicate with their customer bases in this day and age, and it’s not the businesses who are going to change.
They are always going to communicate first in ways available to them that are going to reach the widest audience the quickest.
The larger contingent of the customer base is always going to be addressed first, and that ain’t the official forum of any company’s website, which is where a mere sliver of the overall base (most of whom tend to sneer at social media) congregates.
People on gaming forums have been complaining about this for YEARS.
The companies have only increased their usage of social media.
The comparatively tiny number of customers who sneer at social media are the ones who are going to have to adapt.

it’s not that hard to copy paste one text to 2-3 platforms simultaneously
