I said ruined, not made better. Literally nobody other than idiots think of goblins as you describe. Not everything has to be taken to a racial place… Normal people look at goblins and see goblins.

Probably means that they’ll be given actual characters with different personalities rather than being a stupid conglomerated capitalism-gone-wrong punchline.

It will be a story about goblins for a modern audience.
So they’ll be more than just Bobby Kotick analogues?

I think it just means we’ll see more than just the exploding and money hoarding. We already know Gazlowe is for the workers. So let’s see what the others are about!

Goblins are explosive little maniacs, they’re already so relatable that I set a table every year for them at the CHristmas family reunion…

Which people? The oligarchs? The 1%? Those who would use their vast wealth to shift politics in their favor?

Goblins about to go all “eat the rich” on us and I think it’s hilariously bad.
But that’s Blizzard writing in 2024 for ya.
Pander to the people while raking in billions on store sales and tokens.

Who should they be pandering to instead?

They could just not pander to anyone’s politics and write a fantasy story instead.

I’m sure Faerin will be central to the story and lecture all of the goblins about how they should behave.

But by your paper thin definition of pandering, any kind of story with any kind of theme that might be related to real life, whether real or imagined, is going to be “political”.
So what you’re really saying is that you want them to pander to you instead?

Why would I say that when I have you here to talk for me?

You seem to be happy talking for the devs when you assume their intent in writing stories.
It seems to be all the rage, so I thought I’d try it.

Workers rising up is a realistic turn for their story to take. They’ve been ruled by hypercapitalists for ages, with a whole lot of regular workers treated horribly.
