Is there going to be an official report on how many employees they let go today or will it forever be “hundreds” which that in itself is a pretty large quantity of people who are now going to be jobless which I feel super bad for ![:cry:](https://d38bqls1q93fod.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/cry.png?v=6" ":cry:")
Just curious how they “lied” about Allied Races? Nothing that I have seen from the feature has been contrary to anything that I have heard from Blizzard. Please elaborate?

“My life is harder than anyones. This gives me the right to say that anyone elses hardship does not equate to mine in any way shape or form. Certainly I shouldn’t have any empathy towards people that got their dream job working at Blizzard only to get cut”

It’s always a terrible thing to read or hear that people are losing their jobs or what some may have considered their career. It seems nowadays we live paycheck to paycheck with very little savings. This indeed can be a hardship especially if the type of work they do is overmanned for their career field despite the unemployment rate. It may mean going to do a job that pays much less while they wait for a job opening that fits their expertise.
I’ve known airline pilots who became used car salesmen to make ends meet when they were furloughed. Others who have told stories who slept in their car in the airport parking lot while starting their career only making 28k with over 100k in loan debt.
It’s a tough world out there. Be kind to each other.

I’d be a lot more inclined to spend my money with bluzzard/Activision if they started treating their employees better.
Blizzard really needs to divorce itself from Activision, it’s a disease

How’s the weather on your high horse?
Activision scamming people with allied races STILL.
They get what they deserve, I hope it never stops.

people were lead to believe due to how it was written that allied races, including zandalari, would be available at launch

WoW is the money making game for Blizzard … what BFA has to do with layoffs is hard to understand .

Nothing about that is true. They were implicitly told at like several buy expansion screens what to expect.

Actually you might want to go back and reread that. Nowhere did it say that. People assumed it.
What the hell? That’s like comparing about farmers because your car has a malfunction.
ActiBlizz has nothing to do with Blizzard publishings, if you wanna point fingers at someone, point it to the devs. Lmao.
There were 6 Allied Races at launch. One of those races changed from what they advertised, so yes, I stand corrected there. But they have already explained why that happened so I can’t fault them for it. They still delivered on the quantity they had promised.
Nice pic btw, I love that it wasn’t just "they said ".

I never assumed it, people in my guild never assumed it, and no one I talk to assumed it.
people that bought the expansion that havent played in awhile? they did nothing but say how the website said they would be available at launch. I dont know or care, but theres been thousands of topics on it so im assuming it wasnt just 1 or 2 people that made a mistake
