The End Credits....WHAT!?

OK I need some sanity here…just finished the final Frozen Throne mission and went into end credits. For whatever reason - they are still all in SD format. Fine, whatever…but at the very end, they added like 5 more minutes of credits…what do those credits contain?

I kid you not…they credited EVERY…SINGLE script editor, compressor, language, imaginable. If someone used a zip file, they credited the creators of zip.

THEY EVEN CREDITED THE AUTHORS OF CURL…friggin CURL???

Look, I’m not on the “Blizzard turned corporate” bandwagon entirely, but this is ridiculous. You don’t have the god damn credit your mouse pad and dasani water that was provided. This is literally a giant corporation that said - please add these credits for xyz legal reason.

Oye vey…OK time to see if the Durotan bonus campaign got changed and then onto multiplayer…wish me luck.

Credit goes to the internet creators for making this possible…and Al Gore.

That’s fine…but these weren’t jokes. They literally had copyrights about the creators of everything they used, json, php, curl, zip, it was hilarious the amount they credited. I’ve absolutely never seen a game credit a json parser…

Sounds like having the license required to bundle and use open source projects in your for profit project…

And at that point are you really mad that they acknowledged the people making open source tools they use? Isn’t that something that should be encouraged? Someone made cURL, JSON, etc, why should they not receive recognition when other people use their software in their products?

Dude you must have some next level concentration if you could read through all those names. My last brain cell died after hearing the music loop every 5-10 secs.
