Then why are you feeding into it if you think it’s trolling and negative?

You’re assuming that they’re honest, which isn’t neutral. It should be pretty clear that they’re dishonest given that they abandoned the thread once it built up enough steam to keep going on it’s own.
Another 12.7 mil was raised through OW for breast cancer research, that one out there for sure. I haven’t been able to find out what they raised at Blizzcon either though off their charity auction.
That’s a few they made public, we do know they make others as well, that they don’t broadcast.
I’m just taking the words at face value.
Assuming it’s clear that they are dishonest is more toxic than approaching the conversation in a neutral manner.

i mean id believe you if it wasn’t me that you miss worded it too and then deleted the post, fortunately somehow the reply to your reply has saved your reply
why am i bringing it up hours later, well because i was afk
why dont i bring up their prior donations this year, well because they finished the third quarter with only 204 million retained and if they donated their current cap of 600 million theyd have lost all their investors
also were on the same side

Unless a blue has corrected you (I’m on mobile and it’s being laggy):
Blizzard, like many companies, is setting a charity limit. They’ll donate X amount 100% to charity, and then the rest is absorbed.
In my opinion the notice should change immediately upon completion. Once the allotted charity amount is reached it should no longer be a charity pet. I also wonder if it couldn’t be false advertising otherwise (fine print be damned, no one reads that and that’s exactly how people get away with it).
Whether Blizzard does that or not is not known to me.

But you’re not being neutral if you’re taking their side.

They didn’t take a side. They requested clarification and asked multiple questions.

It’s literally all the same people making all the same arguments, on both sides (myself included).
There are a couple latecomers who started spouting some pretty ridiculous conspiracy theories. They couldn’t back up their claims, though, so they made a big show of leaving the thread (except they’re still 
ing posts)

I said you’re taking their side. You’re agreeing that there is any sort of confusion with the way the charity is being run. Which is utter hogwash. It’s extremely clear how it’s set up, there’s no actual confusion, which is why I believe the OP was being dishonest by “just asking questions”.

If they didn’t take a side - then I can’t take their side.
I saw the links everyone posted - the communication is not consistent, and I can see how in one of them people would be put off; provided that they had an adverse reaction to footnotes/fine print.
I didn’t even say I agreed with that - just that I could see how and why people would feel the way they do and how it could be taken as misleading - which could funnel into confusion.
And here we are - discussing and suggesting good options.

Good to know Code org at least released vague information, but Blizzard didn’t like they normally do.

Something tells me if they did , people would be posting outrage threads about how Blizzard brags about how much they donate to charity.

Except you know, they released their information for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017 charity drives.
But sure, let’s just white knight blizzard, shall we?

Their side is that there is room for confusion.
There are two pages. The advertisement page and the shop page. The advertisement page uses footnotes but is still fairly clear that there is a limit. The shop page is extremely clear with the limit being posted right below the purchase button.
And in either case, the limit is a theoretical situation that has no real chance of ever happening. Something you people keep ignoring so you can keep arguing. The fact that they’ve never actually hit $3 million should have shut this thread down at the very start.
You’re not discussing anything though. You just keep saying there’s confusion, you keep acting like the limit matters at all. This thread damages player interaction with Blizzard and the “controversy” damages the charity drive itself.

“Cut off DATE”. Not cut off AMOUNT. Scummy.
But it’s set to an amount they’ve never hit before. And the only reason we even know of the cap is because they’re being upfront about it. So again, not scummy.
