At least we have the alternate universe with a good and moral pornhub.

Shame to see what has become of Blizzard. I cant help but feel it would be different with Activision out of the picture
IAmCooCooCaChoo
I want to see them get boycotted so hard at BlizzCon they close up early.
Foodpornaddict
They've already killed the open Q&A. Can't wait to see if they start turning people away at the door for wearing pro HK shirts.

The founders of blizzard have always been assholes. The first time they met, one left his computer unlocked, os the other guy changed 1/2
His password to "lickmyasshole" and locked it. The guy returned and just unlocked his computer because that was his ahole pw in first place
DoorCellar
Is there a source for that story?
AcidZebra
Metzen, Pardo, Pearce, Morhaine, they're all gone. What is left?
NaughtButOne
I knew it was the beginning of the end when Metzen left. I just didn't realize how quickly it would come around. :(

There are still a lot of good people in Blizzard. Yes the old gods are missed but their legacy isn’t dead.

Well, that's capitalism. With time passing, every aspect of our lives will fall victim to the capitalist exploitation chain.

well bethesda got money from an equity firm for a stake in the company. companies always go down hill after that happens.

Most companies will be assholes if it's profitable.

At least Valve have spared their reputation by not making any games at all.
Hence why Epic is trying to make it happen for themselves. Living the dream.

What exactly did blizzard do besides ban that player for openly supporting Hong Kong?
IMTHEJUGGERNAUTBISH
There is actually a theory our universe ended in 2012 and we merged with another. Some of it is bonkers, but it goes pretty far in depth...
with things like the Mandela effect and coincidental changes. Multiple universes merging and things are starting to sort themselves slowly.
Meyhna
No one mentions Riot games even though they are contributing way more money to Tencent
LiteralVampirePotBellyGoblins
I don't understand the need to feel a kinship with a company. If you don't like them, don't buy their games?
picklous
i agree on the dont buy their games, but it is always sad to see a company that made so many beloved games go down the crapper
CrookedCherryBlossom
I feel like bethesda has been terrible for ages. I also don't like skyrim and fallout 3 so what do I know
I mean, I like FO3 and even 4, but I chalk that up to the world-building more than them being even remotely good games.
They are v recycled. Nothing wrong with enjoying them tho :)
Normalface
The world realy ended in 2012, this is just after effects as the program winds down.
AreThoseMyPants
2012 something definitely happened. For me, my life got way better, after a lifetime of just bad things happening constantly.
ph2ox
Or someone's kid got at the controls and is changing the simulation settings randomly
Eldibs
Wait, are BioWare actually being assholes somewhere, or is it still just EA strangling them to death?
5omeWhiteGuy
Forced to release MA Andromeda early. So they could be forced to make anthem, which had 0% done when the first trailer dropped. Fault allovr
Comet260
BioWare Magic!! Look it up.
Gardosurro
Sadly they overwork their employees to the bone and call it "Bioware Magic". Anthem is pretty much all their own management's fault.
ShadeEmberi
Bioware isnt bioware. they are a corpse with strings
They have been absorbed into a greater asshole, they are one with the asshole.
dingofdong
and the asshole is with them
Bioware knew whose bed they were crawling in to. They aren't blameless. The ME3 response solidified whose favor they'd rather curry.
ReverendAurora
Oh I blame old bioware for what new bioware became. They knew it would happen, they chased the dollar. Their fault.
ColoniaCroisant
Unfortunate truth, Anthem is Biowares fault not EA's. I love to hate on EA as much as anyone but Bioware fucked that up on their own
BoooBerry
You shouldn't have to add your contempt for a third party to justify your position. IMGUR blows like that. Fucking hive mind BS.
JustLettingPeopleBeWrong
A couple of crappy games is not really on the same level as "fucking fans for profit" or "democracy isn't profitable", though. Not 1/
really anything close to being in the same league of assholes as Bethesda or Blizzard. 2/2
Gababu
i feel like excusing their many mistakes over the years and just blaming EA flat out for them has made bioware what they are today.
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
That shit show of a game can be laid directly at the feet of EA: they forced unrealistic timelines on Bioware and then forced them to 1/
release an unfinished project. EA is calling the shots, not Bioware. 2/2
TehGuard
Unrealistic timelines? You mean 4 years where bioware did fuck all and then the 1.5 years EA forced them to finish what they hadn't started?
Canadianidiot86
Not to mention forcing them to use the frostbite engine when they knew nothing about it and the engine wasnt even made for that kinda game
fiercebetty
All I know is the bioware I loved is no longer the bioware of today.
orion42m
Oxygen deprivation does that to you

Bethesda has been crap for years, People just love Skyrim so much they were unwilling to hear it.
Iatesomecoffeecups

ServantOfTheGodEmperorOfUsersub
They’re just being incompetent rather than being assholes.
I mean, at some point you have to wonder. Like when they put Skyrim on switch, and didn't bother to fix any of the bugs first, not even the
ones modders had fixed for YEARS.
Aemor
The ceo of blizzard is also in Epstein’s black book
VodkaReindeer
Blizzard doesn't have a CEO.
FractalPrism
you mean ceo of Activision. ceo of blizzard is a different person.
SEnergy
CEO of activision blizzard*, not blizzard entertainment, for that there's Brack
akom
Reminder that being present in the book doesn't mean they were a client of his "services." He liked having high-up and wealthy contacts.
DocTanner
For the last time, that doesn't mean anything! Not everyone who gave the pedo their phone number is, themselves, a pedo. He networked.
Don't you know pedophiles ONLY communicate with other pedophiles.
If that plague is 100% virulent and spread through communication, we're really, really screwed...
Hardcore04
Ceo of Activision Blizzard*.
namAehT
As much of a shitbird they both are, it's not very surprising to me that a rich guy knows a lot of other rich guys and has their contact 1/2
info. Just because they met and exchanged contact info doesn't automatically make him a pedophile. 2/2
NCPBullet
Not his fucking roledex you dunce. His book of clients. Fucking contact info. Jesus Christ

is it him too or is it just activision? they own blizzard.
Ziggeroy
No. The company is called Activision Blizzard. They dont own one another. They are merged. The current CEO is Activision's old CEO.
Lichelf
What do you mean they are merged? Activision Blizzard (Publisher) owns Blizzard Entertainment (Developer). They aren't the same company.
They are not 'merged', activision and blizzard are 2 companies under one HOLDING company

Is there a list somewhere?

FYI McCarthy and Hurley's list was 95% correct and even was correct about China and communist spies.

Yeah but that's likely the only reason people befriended epstien. If I knew one of my friends was a pedo, they'd no longer be my friend.
