All I could do is play beta and stream it to them as they direct where to go. If I had a key to give I’d def let him have one.
That he needs a heart and kidneys it’s rough there…gotta find a suitable donor and they need to move fast after death to get the organ heart especially into a new body otherwise rush tissue death. If it were just kidneys one could work fine.
I’m hoping for them. I think it would also need to be a universal donor to get from since it’s easier to not have rejection?
I’m O- and thus a universal donor of blood but idk if the same applies to organs. I do need to donate blood more often though…only done it once I’m kinda squeamish about needles in the arm xP
Out of the 50/50 chance that this was a ruse to get a beta key, who cares? It’s a BETA, a unsignificant amount of time to test an upcoming expansion in a VIDEO GAME.
If I had the power, I would take my chances in this case to maybe give someone that little bit of strength that might change their path. I would jest the risk is worth it for 9 out of 10 people, you lose nothing, you gain a potential life spending the little time they have left doing something they love.
I know you want to be nice, but this guy has 3 threads now asking for a key.
Blizzard also does not take individual requests for access. They have, in the past, partnered with Make A Wish to allow a player some special access, a quest, etc. I don’t think they have any current partnerships with hospice programs/hospitals/charities that would gain patients access to Betas. It is not a bad idea actually. Game companies could certainly get some positive PR by partnering with hospitals and the patients would have something engaging to focus on instead of hospice care. Win for everyone I would think.
Customer Support thread
Was told how to get the keys from streamers and such. Said it was too much work.
And another thread.
Really, Blizz does not give out keys like this. It would be part of a program.
Mad respect for what you’re trying to do. Unfortunately i doubt this will happen. I’d be willing to bet they’d look at it and say they’d really love to help and all but that’d definitely open a door they’d rather weren’t open. If word gets out they did that, all of a sudden they’d be bombarded with appeals of why the next person should get something like that, and the next one. And you know other callous people would just scream not fair… this is why we can’t have nice things
While this is true, this doesn’t always mean it IS 100% always lethal. There are some cases where a person goes on to live close to what might have been their maximum life span with good enough treatment and periodic care.
Correct, but the person above was stating that everyone on chemo would be given beta access, and I was explaining that when people are terminal it generally infers there’s an expectancy for them to not survive. Millions of people a year are put on chemo and go into remission.
Seems he got his key, either way I appreciate your post. I do agree with what you were saying and that ‘‘could’’ always be done in secret through private messaging said person but either way it never hurt on my end to try and reach out in other ways…
Yup thanks, I just checked on the persons post and they got it.
Cool beans
I’m glad
If it was referring to me, I take everything with a grain of salt.
They aren’t getting millions of dollars or special treatment that really matters.
It’s a friggin beta key. If they are sick as they say; they’ll enjoy something they wanted to for whatever time they have left. If they aren’t sick; they’ll enjoy something they wanted to for whatever time beta runs.
