WoW Development Stalled

I think we should all push for a subscription extension given that they’re not working on the game like they should - but they are still charging us for the monthly subscription. Just saying.

You are wrong because…you are wrong. Sometimes there is just a wrong viewpoint and you are there.

You said “let it die”. That’s wishing it to fail, and that’s the wrong. It would be like me hoping you will fall and break a leg. Accidents happen, but me wishing you had one would not be very nice, would it? If you don’t get that, I really have nothing more to say to you.

That’s cool for you, but it isn’t always so easy for everyone else.

More that it happened behind the scenes than how it affected the game. :robot:

Blizzard has some potential to recover as it could have a proper HR guide though it’s exhausting to hear this trend of companies in California. :thought_balloon:

Honestly I can understand why someone would want the game to die, but with so many jobs involved inside and outside of Blizzard, with so much heart and soul poured into the game over the years, with millions of people who love the game including myself, it would be a mistake to simply shut it all down. This is the perfect opportunity for a rebirth, we should take advantage of that.

Honestly, it makes sense. Another tweet had been made the other day involving how people at Blizzard weren’t going to work in protest for the victims. Reality is that this isn’t too surprising and all we can really hope for is that the case ends in a manner which gives justice to the people who need it.

Good. The game absolutely should be put on hiatus so that Blizzard can get it together and figure out how to deal with sexual harassers and the toxic culture that enables them.

And the way I see it, said culture explains a lot about the state of the game anyway. Blizzard needs to do some soul-searching or it’s going to be lame content update after lame content update, just like before the allegations came to light.

Cancel culture is the new reality. All it will take going forward to destroy something is an accusation and an emotional appeal to people sympathies. Human enjoy being outraged by people doing bad things. They enjoy grabbing pitch forks to burn the people they perceive as evil (or just that they didn’t make a game that they wanted them to make).

Prepare for more of this in the future. Especially in Game Development where grievance mongering is a major hobby.

Oh, this is where you are absolutely wrong.

Wishing harm on an actual perosn is not the same as not caring or wishing for a non-living product to just die out.

I am not wrong, you are just being silly.

True.
But I like to assume people are atleast as capable as me, and I am not really ultimatively capable in the first. It’ll take time, but it is possible to find another place to work.

What heart and soul poured into the game?! It is obvious that the passion for the game died out a long time ago.

I’ll be that fox anyone that has a Pic of a mask on with no one even remotely close I laugh at…

But to the subject on hand the morale of blizzard/wow was probably low since the start of the investigation… Hence BFA ending and SL beginning

As if they would make a better product simply because they were women.

I mean, I saw somewhere and made a joke about it, that women already are in charge of developing World of Warcraft.

The male developers are, allegedly, busy with playing video games and thus gave all of their work to the female developers.

9.1 has and end of expansion feeling to it. I won’t be surprised at all if we never get to see 9.2.

Maybe it did for you, but that is not the case for so many people including content creators, we love this game and simply want to help make it better. If you want to just give up and walk away that is your prerogative, I’m not willing to do that and I bet if you polled everyone who plays this game they are not willing to do that either.

I guess my subscription is stalled then.

I wish WoW would fail. Sometimes a failed game is a lesson learned; that maybe the game isn’t the game people want to play.

Perhaps WoW would become a better game if it did fail. It would certainly be a wake up call to the developers and players who seem to believe we’ll all play the game because it’s too big to fail.

Oh I have complained about the state of the game for years, I have cared, deeply so. That care has not been rewarded and the rest of you are not at all helping the state of the game as much as you think with your ‘Sitting in the fire and saying: “this is fine”’ attitude.
