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

Hello,
you need to understand this is Diablo’s 2R official forum, isnt logical to learn things first on Reddit and then here, Thank you for communicating on Reddit BUT you need to do more often here,

its funny to see people thinking that this was not planned. its all calculations of money and how to milk the customer the best.
they are pretty open about this and state that they choose the time for releases of content not when people want it but when its the best time to release to make the most amount of money.
and still we see forum posts like this. i think at this point they deserve it to milk complete idiots of their money

I think you mixed up uncoordinated and overwhelmed with calculated and planned.

hes just another worthless troll. flag and move on.
Do you honestly think that the darabase issues that cause server instability were planned? That viewpoint is beyond tin foil hat.
My answer
A, Yes, there should be News about any updates, this would keep many people from assuming what is happening with your game.
B See above
C See above
D. Last Reddit: You ran into difficulties and it could take four months, to figure out the problem. 
Me: I will resist!!!
Social media giants: Resistance is futile.
Me: Oh no…
