didn’t musk change it so all devs now have to pay to use the api for twitter? that might be the main reason.blizzard isn’t going to support a pay to develop for application that barely anyone uses. wasn’t it something like $50k per update?

From what I can gather yeah and I don’t blame em if it isn’t making them anything might as well not do it.
Cool. Sounds good to me. I never used it, but the less involvement with other companies, the better.
I know it is gonna happen. But the less the better.
Yeah AFAIK that’s probably the reason, but it’s also fun to make fun of the whole thing.
I never used it but I still think it sucks for people that did. One man is destroying everything people worked hard to make.

BRF wasn’t a 6.1 addition.
Yes, a lot. It was a very popular thing in the wow Twitter community. It hasn’t been working right lately though, that’s probably why they are removing it
Or maybe it has something to do with the Twitter API changes? Idk

I’m not sure what you’re not getting.
Getting more time to spend with something good >>> throwing it out to spend time with something not good.
Blizzard is literally extending Ulduar’s run time in Wrath Classic because they’ve admitted getting rid of it so early was a mistake. At this time, what I’m saying is just factually true.
Ah ok fair enough I don’t use that side of twitter to know the ins and outs. TY for the insight. 
There goes the biggest patch in WoW history.
A few days ago Twitter announced they were going to start charging 3rd party developers to use the Twitter API, this would include Blizzard.
Considering it’s probably not a widely used feature the devs have decided they aren’t going to pay for it.

Thank god they smoothed out korthia with 9.1.5. It and the maw I lowkey enjoyed/played the most in those in SL.
Dragonflight received positive hype but has under performed and continues to face challenges. Twitter Integrations removal may be due to cost-cutting measures taken by the company. New reports from the recent quarterly reflect that Dragonflight didn’t sell as well as hoped.
Good gameplay is important, but the narrative must also resonate with the target audience to maintain player retention. The writing in Dragonflight fails to cater to the core fanbase that has driven its growth, which has led to my own disinterest. While this expansion tries to appeal to the original fanbase by incorporating the work of Richard Knaak, it falls short by blending it with the writers personal views and real-world issues.
For many players, including myself, Dragonflight is a way to escape reality, not to be reminded of it. Being bombarded with real-world issues within the game can be overwhelming.

Misunderstood what you said, disregard.
Turns out, to make something profitable, people have to be willing to pay for it in the first place.
Who knew?

I never did use it, so I won’t really miss it.
More blood on Elon’s hands.
No. Removing free access to the API so it couldn’t be used in unintended ways without tracking who is using it is a smart thing. This way, API is linked to specific user and price is costly enough to prevent script kiddies, bot makers, and account thieves from affording it while still being affordable for businesses.
My WA that plays a fart noise in in game raid voice when people stand in boss frontals uses the twitter api to stream the audio from a segment of a twitter video. I don’t want to have to update it.
What does literally anything about Twitter changing their API services have to do with Dragonflight?
This feels like "How can I talk about how much dragonflgiht failed everywhere.
