He basically blames everyone, all of us, for expecting too much. To put it plainly, he says that whatever we think about the game is meaningless and they’re behind this game.
STOP blaming Activision. It is the president of Blizzard Entertainment who is doing all of these. Blizzard is the main reason of creation of this game(?) and they are so shameless that they can blame US for not liking the game.
I’m not allowed to post links but it’s in pcgamer. Just write “j allen brack warcraft 3 reforged” on Google.
D4, Shadowlands, Overwatch 2… President himself is saying that they don’t care about whether we like the game or not and it’s our fault to expect too much.
What do you expect of other Blizzard IPs? They are bound to have the same or worse fate with this type of mentality.
“Concerning Warcraft 3: Reforged, honestly, it’s been a bit of a hard week. Our community has come to expect really amazing things from us, and we’ve heard from them that we did not achieve that bar,” Brack said.
“But we stand behind our games, and have consistently shown that not only do we support them, but we continue to build on them even after launch. And we’re committed to doing that here as well. We’re going to continue to update the game, and we’re going to continue to update the community with our plans going forward.”
It’s just usual PR spin. It’s nothing worse than the blue post tbh. They’re not admitting fault, and the usual “we’ll fix it trust us” bs. People will just see it as another example of Blizz being Blizz at this point.
Think about it this way, exactly how would you respond to this kind of backlash if you were the developer of a game and how would you do it without completely falling on your sword or in a way that demeans all the hard work your employees put into get the game into players hands?
if he says “we don’t deliver what we promised” that same day Blizzard loses a record of his actions.
I don’t expect him to say that. I hope he says “fans expected a lot from us. We will do what it takes to comply.”
wait 14 years for this game I can wait one more.
I will continue to point them until they correct it.
Which i see as completely blizz’s fault. They put themselves in that position in which words now truly mean nil. Until they have like multiple good releases, the community ain’t gonna let up regardless of what they say.
