Accused of, not convicted. There’s a huge difference. I could accuse you of doing cruel things to your pets with a fork, but that doesn’t make it true.

For obvious reasons, this is a pretty wild false equivalence. You accused me, that’d be one thing. However If a ton of people accused me and brought very real legal action against me?
Besides, I don’t really remember the specifics. I really remember Blizzard doing enough to justify a change of leadership though

Maybe you need to stop white knighting a company where their CEO threatened to have their assistant killed idk. Given that was true and they still kept him on, I wouldn’t doubt other stories like those.

Yea what Blizzard has done has deeply affected some people, but there is a second part of my argument your missing. All the examples, I gave, directly affects those people and has long lasting consequences. As horrible as Blizzard is, their actions did not directly affect a majority of people, nor do they have long lasting consequences for 99.999% of people in the US.
Take the actions of Blizzard and put them on a major company you don’t care about nearly as much. Would you still be advocating everyone protest? Would you protest?
Our discussion did go off the rails a bit so lets put it back on.
The whole conversation started because of the first quote. The second quote you just further reinforced your stance. You didn’t like people criticizing something they participated in.
Lets tweak your first quote a bit
Ending is a bit rough, but you get the point, you have made it clear (and I agree) Blizzards actions are disgusting, but according to the logic you used, that I first responded too. You use their forums, you play their games, so according to you, you have no right to criticize Blizzard in anyway. So you advocating for protesting them is like the definition of irony.
Here is the bottom line.
Why can you freely criticize Blizzard while using their services, but someone can’t be critical of Capitalism, Police, or Pollution, when they literally can’t avoid interacting with them?
you are legallly insane and greedy and an “entiteled” karen you are entitled to little more than what if at all ow1 was worth
" gives us the ability to continue to make changes at a faster pace than in the past"
Hello!! Zarya? Genji? Sojourn? Changes at a faster pace? Come on, Zarya has been destroying every other tank for quite long enough. Make the changes needed now and not at the end of the season.
no, thank YOU for giving me a reason to boycott your monetization entirely even the battle pass in the future.

Again, I just think you’re wrong? I’d say what blizzard is accused of has long lasting consequences. It radically changed various lives for the people working there, someone may have died due to it, the company will never be the same and its literally trickled in to the games. We’re all effected by this.
Flat out, I want to say something doesn’t have to effect all of us directly to want to protest it. Well, I think you’re right in that people are more likely to protest if it directly effect them, but I believe that what Blizzard has done is worth protesting on the grounds that leadership changes. At least, this was my opinion when I last read up on this stuff.
Again, I wasn’t “advocating” for protest, I was explaining how people haven’t exhausted their options when it comes to holding blizzard accountable.

I don’t think it did, I just stopped responding to you because, while I disagreed, I didn’t disagree enough to continue responding. Sometimes I like to let the other guy get the last word.
Also, I think you’re fusing my issues on people complaining about CAPTALISM while still reinforcing CAPITALISM and my feelings on Blizzard as a company. I don’t remember completely as its been several days, but I seem to remember. But in case you aren’t, let me sum up my feelings like this:
If you’re talking about me specifically, its because I feel like I lay adequate blame to blizzard, capitalism, the police, and people who pollute the planet for monetary gain as I acknowledge its not “capitalism” or “the police” or “blizzard” that’s doing these things. Instead, I directly name people who abuse their authority for their own gain, and I believe this is the only way to get real change.
Keep in mind, the people I tell this sort of thing to usually has their argument like this:
“OMG, Capitalism sucks! That rich guy did this horrible thing and its all capitalism’s fault! I wish we were all communist! I should tweet about it on my Iphone”.
And while I typed that out in a jokey way, people’s arguments really do amount to that. Not everyone, mind you. Not even 25% of people, but I like to highlight the people who are doing this and say “Hey. You know the person who’s abusing people with their wealth. You know the names of the cops who are abusing their power. I fully think you’re saying ‘the cops’ or ‘capitalism’ so you can avoid putting your neck on the line and holding real people accountable”.
Are there plans to allow players to buy new skins without all the rubbish in the bundle with the fake discount? Or are we going to continue pretending that you’re a consumer friendly company while you’re profits tank because your actual clientele is not interested in purchasing the full bundles? Unless they’re a whale, in which this does not apply anyway, because you will continue to make money off of them.

Drop the “thank you” act and go run back to your masters at Blizzard HQ and let them know how utterly we despise them since they dont bother checking the forums themselves

Please put LFG back in the game, I would buy a 75£ Kiriko skin with pleasure if you do.
Can we have a guide on how not to be taken advantage of by the monetization system?

They need at least one legendary skin for each hero in the battlepass. Would make it at least tolerable then.
outside the genji skin? people actually think those flower-nipples are a good look?

That skin has three patterns you can choose your nipple pattern 
It’s the first customisable skin in overwatch though nowhere as good as fortnite, just has three customisation options for head torso and sword and face and you can mix match them.
I would have bought the skin alone for 10$ but i don’t want to support scummy blizzard.
the only thing that motivated me to play events in overwatch was the lootboxes, now that they are gone there is no reason to play all the motivation is gone and if blizz brought them back they would probably pay 50$ for one lootbox.
If you’re still playing, then your not boycotting anything. By giving those that pay someone to play with you’re still feeding the system. In the Pareto principle the vast majority are already expected not to spend anything, they are looking for those whales.
Vast majority of these “im boycotting” posts are pure bs, most of them will continue to play regardless.
You’d like to pretend that’s the case. But you have no idea. I quit after day 2, technically day 1 since day 1 was impossible to play.
There is no incentive to play the game if you don’t pay. I reinstalled today to try the new halloween event. Completed it, got absolutely nothing for it. So I re-uninstalled. Believe it or not, not everyone feels the same way about the game as you do.

Here’s some changes I would like for you to consider
Mei: Make her a tank… Her DPS is minuscule at this point and she fits the tank role more than ever with her wall and ultimate
Torb, Sym, and Sombra: Make them supports… You don’t have to make them heal… Torb can get back his armor collecting, Sym can have back her shielding, and Sombra can go back to an infiltrator that with hacks gives vital info to the team… The have way more utility than DPS and they truly would revitalized and revolutionize how support could/should be played
wrong. if i play the game for free, i cost blizzard more than if i didnt. bc servers are expensive.
