"The focus moved from gameplay to monetization metrics"

So how much do I have to pay to get Blood Elf Druid unlocked in the shop?

I’m understanding that anyone that thinks a business has never had monetization metrics at the forefront is oblivious, unless you’re referring to something else that wasn’t in the OP.

Okay, do they need to make to actual birth?

im sure a fetus would suffice.

Sounds like overly dramatized garbage to me.

This guy giving a speech about game development or writing a fantasy novel?

What would you consider saying something and/or somebody is garbage? not dramatic at all?

In this case, a statement of fact.

Also you might look up this particular developer’s history. Might be illuminating.

Dont you know, things are bad when WoW does it and good when FFXIV does it!

Can you imagine if WoW’s cash shop was even 1% as extensive as FFXIV’s?

It’s like everybody forgot about that time FF14 unironically added a $42 Whale mount to thier cash shop…even though it was just last month

If you don’t see it happening you are literally blind, and brain dead.

I came back to retail and within 2 weeks I was disgusted by how predatory the game is and how everything is setup to sell tokens and boosts, or how “chores” force you to log in everyday so you can drive up their daily active user in a pathetic attempts make the game appear more popular to the higher ups.

The people working at blizzard today are weasels, spineless money-grubbing weasels who think they can outsmart and trick people into playing their terrible game every day, they don’t realise these stupid predatory systems only work on a very short-term basis and long-term they just give people the best reason to quit the game for good and never look back.

While this guy could be a big weasel he’s still not the worst game dev when ones with deaths under their belts exist.

I’d rather have all the tiny items they sell instead of being to just buy gold.

They just banned like 6000 gold buyers and sellers like a week ago.

what

It’s funny that you say that right after Blizz changed their systems to make boosts less important and an overall waste of money…

Of course GD has now found other ways to complain about the changes

That “nameless wow dev” is the OG lead developer that literally created the game you enjoy playing so much 15 years later, have some damn respect…

Calm down, when I wrote that the OP hadn’t posted the tweet, just put “-WoW dev” on their post.

hahahaha you fell for another one of their tricks wow blizzard will never run out of cash cows or gullible fools to continue paying for their products, either that or you must be new around here.
