"Draenor and Legion Pathfinders will now be purchasable directly from flying trainers."

I said I'd never do those attunements and I meant it.

Can hardly believe people still give money to Beijing so they can play a game that aggressively hates them.

Legion was fine, I enjoyed it a lot. What I get from Blizzard is that they hate their target player base with a passion but are held back by profit, it is not like there are a lot of new young WOW players.

They actively design their games in a way to make their player base displeased but not enough to make em quit. It’s actually amazing how blizzard walks that line.

Right, so, let's talk about that.

If you were to propose nuking the entirety of China, right now, kill a billion people instantly...

I'm down with that. I do not care about them in the slightest. I care less about the existence of tyrannized people on the far side of the planet than I care about the dirt on my carpet.

If Beijing's existence offends you to the degree that it seems to... obliterate them. You'll get no argument from me.

Okay with nuking China, killing a billion people.

Not okay with giving up a video game that supports China's political goals.

Yes.

If I set out to solve a problem, I want it fucking solved. I don't go in for "symbolic gestures" and "moral victories".

If a lose nail in the floorboards stubs my toe, I don't avoid the nail. I get a hammer.

The tradeoff to this is that I only fight battles where there is a clear course of action, and where it is certain that if I will a thing, it will be so. Death by a thousand cuts is not victory to me.

Who said anything about symbolic gestures?

I'm just surprised that anyone can actually enjoy a game/company that actively hates them.

You've been demoralized and compromised. It's not normal to subject yourself to this shit.

Yes, because not playing the hecking MMO-arino is really going to starve the beast.

Are you dense? Or do you just like to do performative boycotts? I can understand quitting WoW because the game fucking sucks now, but doing it solely because Blizz sucks China dick? Nigga, your singular sub or lack thereof ain't gonna do shit.

The only way China is dealt with is massive corporations pulling out of business in that country, as Trump has been trying to incentivize. Or by an actual war

Personally, I still have like 400$ in blizzard credit from the D3 RMAH that I refuse to cash out of principle (they take like 40%). I cannot imagine in good faith giving them actual dollars.

I'm still salty people killed the RMAH, it was the best part of D3. Shitty vendor trash neck pieces flipped for 50$, then turn around and buy all the blizzard store shit you want.
