Yep, and replies like that are more or less an attempt to make sure everyone stays on the same page. I also wrote out a facts list in a separate topic about today’s news. I did that more or less as setting the realistic expectations I think we should have for Blizzard (both in the short term and long term). This news is jarring today, and I feel passionately involved, but that is because I have invested so many hours of playtime into Blizzard’s games and I have strong friends for many of their team members. So it is my hope that anything I express on these forums is done so under the expectation that you the community can learn a greater understanding of how Overwatch continues to grow as a game.
Let’s also be clear, there are times I screw up… badly. I mean let’s not forget about the Role Queue Beta Season incident. Thank god, Scott Mercer stepped in and set the record straight on that fiasco, but I still feel bad that how I interpreted official documentation from Blizzard and how I communicated it on these very forums did lead to people inadvertently leading players to disrupt the overall competitive ladder. It is in the past now, and I consider it a good learning experience. Back then I didn’t get to have nearly as much direct contact with the CMs at the time. Now I do and that has helped me become a better member of this community.
I think I am entering ranting/rambling mode… I need a baconator. See ya’ll later, and please be nice and take care of each other as we continue to watch this news unfold.
