The letter was to Bobby Kotick, CEO of Activision. It was signed by a couple senators and a couple House Reps, notably AOC and Rubio. Basically they said “not cool, bro”
Saying wow has succeeded is not accurate basically it is WoW 2 that is 15 years ago. And 15 years from that WoW 2 will be BFA level all over again. Its history repeating itself. And then they make Classic 3 WoW 3 and do it all over again.
Why not just do a wow wipe and start over it basically the same thing.
It was a few politicians essentially saying
“we’re disappointed in the decision you’ve made and hope you change it.”
Not from congress as a whole and suspiciously like they were trying to win appeal and look like they supported the ‘American Moral’ crowd given it was conveniently released to the media.
Ughh Little Rubio and the Brother knocker.
Anything from them belongs in the trash. Phooey it just HAD to be them.
Has anyone ever seen that supposed iron core? The Kola Superdeep Borehole didn’t drill down that far.
I didn’t. I said classic is wildly successful.
Because they are rolling in the cash with a product that already existed and doesn’t even need actual updates. Its the easiest money Blizz will ever make, and the players don’t care because they got what they wanted.
Well, we know that there are crystals the size of skyscrapers far down into the earth.
No, thats Ilhan Omar, AOC is the bartender from NY that introduced the Green New Farce
I want to live in one of those crystal skyscrapers.
Sounds comfy.
Oh. Still an idiot and whose opinion is as valuable as a piece of quartz.
Like Wow being in a temporal loop. Repeating the same things over and over.
Why make wow 2 when wow 1 is struggling to hang on is it to abandon ship?
Don’t kid yourself, quartz is a decent commodity =p
Simple, path of least resistance. Its all about the money. Thats the whole point of this thread. They dont care about you, me, customers, gamers, players, causes, politics, riots, morals, ethics…
Just the money
Well for minimal effort, just hosting the old product and slowly releasing it they hugely increase sub numbers. Plus it opens it up to doing the same with other expacs down the line. Will help the longevity of WoW by giving another reason or method of play if you stay subbed.
I’m seeing a single, 1lb rough quartz specimen for sale on amazon only $33 with free shipping!
Exactly! Thats WAY more than you get for an AOC opinion even with free shipping
They already have money. Least they can do is add more effort in Retail.
So? Is that a compelling argument to a publicly traded multinational corporation worth billions and a fiduciary responsibility to its shareholders to attempt to increase the value of the company to STOP pursuing profits?
It’s not that they’re not putting effort into retail.
Loads of effort has gone into the last few expansions
(Legion I did enjoy)
But their attempts to innovate don’t always work.
Let’s face it at times they just don’t have any new good ideas.
I hold out hope that it’ll stop it’s decline but I’m sure a lot of effort went into islands and warfronts… they just sucked.
When did I say that they should stop profit? I saying spending a few more bucks to make retail more polished won’t hurt them. More stories more plot more fun things.
Talents overhaul class balancing. Loot balancing. Less grindy feeling and more into the game content.
Instead of classic they should have put that effort in making retail that classic feeling back. Making epic gear feel epic again.
