When it became Activision/Blizzard?
Oh, I didnât even realize completely deleting it was a thing. I thought people meant Blizzard literally wasnât letting them cancel their subscriptions.

Delete? So dramatic. Iâm pragmatic.
I just unsubbed, stopped playing, and made fun of them in the Forums. I want Blizz to change- so me saying Iâm done, no matter what, doesnât offer a lot of ways for them to think of how to get me back.

Aww but I just bought this shiny pitchfork

My mistake. Apparently Blizzard has changed hands many times.
Although, considering how everyone views Activision as the devil of the industry, I donât see how Blizzard would be sold off following this situation.

Sell it on ebay for three times the price as a âtool to protect democracy and instil fear into the hearts of the wicked ⌠also can be used for hay related activitiesâ

You never could just delete. Imagine the CS nightmare that would cause.
Not everyone sees Activision as the devil. lol, that sounds funny now that I wrote it.
Anyway, subs could tumble enough and for long enough that they may want to unload it for something else they think is better.
You never know. Also, I donât think this is just going to blow over in a week or so.
Itâs been a couple years, HK, free speech was just the igniter.
I love pitchforks. No lie. Then again, I have a strong love for all the horticultural forked tools. Theyâre pretty awesome.
How many gnomes can you get on a single pitchfork?

Also it erases any information about you, credit card, name, email, etc. If you really do quit wow itâs a good idea to delete the account as you donât want your info out there if it doesnât need to be.

The amount of pretentiousness of certain posters here is quite disgusting, wonât name names (you know who you are). I wonât personally delete my account (I find it completely unnecessary) but I do question if Iâll resub when the time rolls around. This issue is just one example of how instead of taking the diplomatic approach Activision/Blizzard took the Nuclear option. For those trying to delete I say just walk away if youâre that mad because Blizzard is at the end of the day a Corperation. Remember the no flying in Warlords and how quickly âit canât be doneâ turned into Pathfinder? Iâm not saying this WILL have that reaction but itâs entirely possible.

The argument against that is that just about everything electronic is manufactured in China and Asia, so you just hold your nose and deal with it; there are very few corporations that arenât willing to deal with the Chinese because the manufacturing infrastructure there is nothing short of amazing - itâs on par with Taiwan, if not more so.
As a consumer, there really isnât much of a choice that doesnât involve going all prepper. The idea that nearly everything you depend on for life comes from a society that you should fundamentally and vehemently disagree with is mind-boggling. Itâs like mosquitos - nobody likes them, but driving them extinct isnât an option, so you just learn to live with them and minimize the damage they do.
However, thereâs a quite a difference between tolerating something out of convenience and toadying up to a totalitarian government by throwing an outwardly pro-human rights protestor under a bus.
Also, throwing your computer out the window may prevent you from doing anything with it, but Blizzard still has access to your personal information - and you have no idea what theyâre going to do with it because you signed those rights over when you clicked âyesâ on the EULA.
I alway get âstuckâ at 2. Whether itâs a 10 tine pitchfork or a 2 tine hay fork, Iâd need smaller Gnomes for more. Unless 4 of them were hugging when I forked them⌠but that would be rude.
Not that recently. I asked my old account to be deleted likeâŚMoP/WoD. Somewhere in there. Not sure exactly when since I wasnât playing at the time.
