The Anaheim Convention Center (where BlizzCon is located) requires the AXS app for anything taking place there.
It hasnt before.
So why now.
The venue used AXS in the past too, but itâs only recently that AXS has begun to require the app. Itâs a change implemented by AXS.
No clue. Ask the Anaheim Convention Center. Happened recently I would guess.
But its becoming more and more common for venues to require a specific ticketing App.
Probably to cut costs. Itâs more efficient to have everyone be their own ticket checker. It also reduces scammers, so thereâs less profit loss for them.
Sorry buddy, itâs time for people like you to take a backseat. Iâve sat here angrily for years and watched people accept one invasive thing after another, and now people are doing something about it. Best to accept that and get with it.

Canât that accomplished without the incoherent rage? Iâm so sick of this playerbaseâs perpetual anger at one thing or another.
What exactly are people doing about it?
Getting mad on a video game forum after you created a Bnet account and most likely gave your CC information to a piece of internet software to purchase a game/sub?

I find this hilarious because remember when microtransaction was used with the very same argument? lol. âTHEYâLL NEVER PUT IT IN A FULL PRICE GAME. YOU GUYS ARE JUST CRAZY TIN FOIL HATS.â
Well, now they are selling you half completed games with full blown microtransaction.
Good job, you played yourself. This is the same damn argument used every time and itâs only gotten worse.
But its becoming more and more common for venues to require a specific ticketing App.
Not here it isnt.
Then again our privacy laws are draconic. I like it that way.
Bottom line: the potential for privacy breaches and for use of data outweighs any use of this âappâ for any reason.

Thereâs a pattern to it. It happens in news media too. Theyâll release controversial topics on a Friday, and by Monday people have already forgotten about it. Why? Because thereâs a new controversy on Monday to distract the goldfish.
Accept this isnât true. People in congress have already started begun writing up bills to put these practices to rest and they should be.
This has been coming for a long, long time.
Look dude, I get that you love this game, so do I, and I agree that the community has often times created problems that do not exist. But here and this time, Blizzard needs to take the hit to learn and change.
Better to do that for a good reason than do what youâre doing to blindly fanboy defend a business that doesnât care. Youâre not getting classic beta for this.

Huh. Interesting. Maybe you should invade my privacy a little more. Then when you make up stuff about me, it wouldnât be a complete lie. And you might be able to come close to a truthful statement.
What business am I defending?
I donât intend on ever playing Classic.
Oh boy. Youâre hoping the government is going to save you from the big bad corporations⌠It just gets better and better.
The government doesnât serve you. It stopped being, âFor the Peopleâ a while ago.
So you rather another civil war then? People dead?
In what world Renataki do you live in when you seriously canât see how accepting like this just canât go wrong?
This is the same argument about microtransaction basically. They said youâre crazy thinking it would be in full priced games. Well again, now theyâre selling full priced games half completed filled with microtransaction.
Seriously, please, what fantasy do you live in where accepting these practices doesnât end badly 10 years from now?
I canât wait for the App Privacy Civil War of 2029.
I already bought my tickets on AXS.

Stop being an NPC - wars donât start in a day. Yes - if things like these get accepted and become normalize. They will keep pushing it further and further.
Again, what world do you live in where you donât see how this could very easily end up becoming a huge problem cause I would like an honest answer.
Because I got an answer.
CHINA.
Nah, it doesnât take a war. It takes people being willing to put their money where their mouth is. Donât like the app? Donât go to Blizzcon. Donât like anti-privacy apps in general? Donât use them.
The use of this phrase and the dismissiveness that comes with it speaks volumes.
I feel like China had issues long before phone apps were created.
