What kind of stupid crap

is resetting all the pinned replays at every patch?

I swear it’s like Blizzard has some ulterior motives with some of the dumb crap they do. I mean how hard is it to fix replays anyway, so that people can unpin games to pin new ones? It’s almost like they want to limit the amount of replay videos on the web which is weird.

I dunno why but they remove all replays with patches. I’m confused why but that’s how it is.

I don’t think it’s some Blizzard conspiracy though, you’re wearing a bit too much tinfoil on your head methinks.

Even smash replays get erased after every patch

My guess is that the replays are not an mp4 file but rather a simulation of a game, so having certain bug fixes or balance changes would corrupt the replay as, lets say, Mercy healed more, so in the replay you no longer die, but stay afk, and then teleport to spawn

I guess things like this happen, and it’s why its better to just remove them after a patch

So is there an option to download these replays? Store them locally? I don’t see why they wouldn’t do a thing where you’ve got 48 hours to download the replay to save it if you want to keep it instead of just clean wiping everything during a patch. Seems like that would cut down on the amount of space even more than the current method AND solve the problem of getting rid of games people may want to keep.

I mean I didn’t say there was proof the moon landings were faked in the replays or anything, you don’t necessarily need a conspiracy theory to point out that motivation seems a little off.
