I really dont how much longer I can do it. Ive been playing 13+ years of WoW, Diablo, Starcraft etc. Invested, 1000’s of hours into gaming, $1,000’s of dollars into subs, xpacs, store items (digital and merch) and virtual tickets. Ive been overly critical about the state of WoW as it is
But to top all that off, what do I get to look forward to for my once a year VT event? what kind of events do you have in store for me as a loyal blizzard gamer?
Well lets see, I can go see events like:
Starting at Blizzard as a Female Manager
How Blizzard embraces Self-Expression
Navigating Unconscious Bias
Grappling with Cultural Identity
Blizzard’s Diversity & Inclusion Training
A personal Journey to Leading Responsibly (that features empowerment for diversity and inclusion)
Leveraging Experiences to Affect Change
Why cant it just be about your games? Is the purpose of Blizzcon now to inform me Ive been an unconscious xenophobic, racisit, homophobic, bigot of a gamer all along that needs re-educated so I can be a proper radical activist?
Why are these events even scheduled at a gaming convention? I’m confused
Thanks, but I dont need cultural PC training while trying to celebrate your games, during a gaming convention. (Yikes)/(facepalm)
Sadly all these events are real, and found in the Blizzcon App. Not sure if you have to be a VT purchaser to see the events or be able to log in to the App or not. But thats where you will find them
I just scrolled through the list of all events in the blizzcon app and saw none of these.
there are a couple “coming soon” which you may be creatively filling in.
there’s one “life at blizzard: career & culture insights” at 4pm on nov 1. that will last a whole hour so don’t worry they’re not going to get too feminist on you.
Who knows. he’s literally making up fake events to get forum attention. Maybe he’s mad about the one single panel about blizz culture, but if so, this is a pretty stupid overreaction. But it’s also the internet and overreaction (and trolling) is kind of just how things go
nope. I was 100% wrong. if you open the schedule from the website or new feed in the app, you won’t see them, which is why I thought they were fake. but if you click on the calendar in the navigation at the top of the app they show up.
-How we create and mold WoW Classes
-Overwatch character creation
-Community building in game
-Game Design Demo
-Why coding can sometimes become spaghetti
I can get diversity and people trying to adhere to the current change in the world, but you chase away “normal” people, and by normal I mean people just wanting to know more about the gaming side of Blizzard. Maybe a few events like these would be fine if there were some actual events.
