i mean… i don’t like the guy.
but i don’t like consiracy theories that border on the absurdity like this one even more.
Is their balancing process terribe? Probably yes. I mean he admitted that their data collection would be too slow for a hasty patch and that’s why he did hands on experience… and for an AAA studio that’s just… bad.
But apart from that, going into personal attacks on a thing he did for his job and trying to spin it that a man would jeopardise his carrer for HS ranks is just… lol.
What is disgrace is not him playing the deck. That is actually commendable. That was for the betterment of the game. What IS the disgrace is that he had to do that.
What’s also a disgrace is posters who whine about actions that were literally for the good of the game and literally lead to hasty patches to fix issues.
What is an even bigger disgrace is when those whine become personal attacks.
Exactly because blizz cares about money it is actions like that that can cost one’s job in the blink of the eye.
playing games, for personal ranking, even borderline exploiting, while at his working hours.
Do you think that execs care about who he is? He would be fired in an instant.
But yeah, if it makes you sleep better at night that Devs have it personally to top the ladders by exploiting, then wear your tinfoil hat proudly.
