“We try to avoid releasing new content tiers during the holiday season so that players are not encouraged to choose between progression and spending time with their families and friends. This also helps ensure us that we’re fully staffed to support any required hotfixes or turning issues that may emerge.”
I understand that covid may have changed this mindset, but raiding during christmas is not desirable.
You really think Activision gives a damn about their employees? How many more strikes and leaks about how underpaid their employees are do we need?
New expansion and new expansion content has been released in this time frame in the past. What they’re referring to is content in an existing, established expansion.
Blizz operates under different guidelines when they’re releasing a new expansion. I would imagine most companies do in their position, tbh. And it’s not something the employees would be unaware of or surprised at.
