I always assumed that I would go down with the ship. Stick with WoW until the bitter end, enjoying the game no matter what.
But that has really been put to the test with Shadowlands. While I still think 9.0 was one of their better launches, the story has never been in a worse state than it is right now. And after seeing the cinematic at the end of the raid, I genuinely cannot stomach the direction of the story going forward. I’d already been playing with the idea of walking away for a while before the allegations and lawsuit came to light, too; WoW has the characters that I’ve crafted with love, and a beautiful world second to none. But the people responsible for telling the story within this world are squandering it.
I’ve cancelled my recurring sub, but I do have prepaid cards available should I want to keep going for a bit. I have a new raid group that I have enjoyed running with, so I may remain with them until we down Sylvanas on Heroic a few times. I’m not sure, I’m pretty much playing it by ear as I go.
The ship has been sinking since Cata.
Eventually they gave us Legion.
There is always hope that the ship will right itself.
Yep. I’ma ride this baby into the ground.
Full steam ahead! toot toot
Guilty or not guilty, I’m not going to go anywhere. I enjoy the game and play to get rid of real world drama.
I can understand if people want to leave. What gets me is these you tubers who say they are quitting and shedding false tears, like they are so emotionally hurt when you can see they are acting and trying to draw attention and views. That’s disgusting.

A few? This whole forum is nothing but topics about this.
Every youtuber I saw seemed to be overacting, including Asmongold, Preach, Bellular, and Taliesin. None of them are good actors.

A Captain always goes down with the ship.
And my character’s title is Captain.
Yeah, I will! You realize the vast majority of the employees are innocent right?

Legion always struct me as a panic button expansion. Hence they they pretty much through everything popular with fans they could at it.
Sadly, I think leadership at Activision-Blizzard has internalized a different negative misconception about the WoW community and how we consume WoW since then. I don’t think a second Legion is possible at this point based on their own hubris.
If the developers believe that’s what they need to do then probably blizzard will hire more to replace them that won’t work and I don’t blame blizzard for doing it if it come to that

It’ll have the future I want if they shut down the servers and call it good.
Im quite sure the community will have a solo patch the next day.
Blizzard is nit going to shut the game down they make every thing good what ever the courts do if they can prove there case
Then you never play any games out there every company out there has problems they just have not gotten caught at it
I said…i was going to play the game guilty or not…I’m not sure what you was getting at there.
I’m not sure the courts can or will do that.
To answer you question, I’m going to continue playing. Hopefully, the ex-Blizzard employees and current employees who are being accused face some harsh consequences if all of this is true.
Though I think the company is at its lowest point ever, I’ve seen so many people write Blizzard’s obituary over the years that I think I’m immune to it.
My sub ends in two days. I might pop in to say goodbye to some peeps before I go, if they are even still playing.
Blizzard has not done anything positive to make me want to resub. Quite the opposite actually.
They can’t fight the lawsuit without attacking the victims, and that’s going to really turn people off to Blizzard games.
I really wish Blizzard would just go with a settlement for the victims, fire the accused, and restructure their whole organization.
Not holding my breath though.
Not really. Stop with the silly drama.
