Tells me they have jack shite to show on anything and they are too busy busting everyone’s asses for deadlines and dealing with legal shite. All most people care to get updates on are Diablo IV and Overwatch 2.

Blizzcon 2022 Canceled

Or they are trying to settle all their sexual assault cases.

I almost feel bad for Blizzard. To a large degree, this is just woke histeria.

Nah the company did some pretty shite bag things. Now the things they are doing in reaction to those shitty things are woke i.e. replacing the names of NPCs, replacing the paintings in wow, removing emotes, etc

But they got rid of /spit. Clearly they're on the rebound.

They replaced Jesse McCree's name in Overwatch to Cole Cassidy. Not a NPC.. a playable character for the past 5.5 years, who has tons of merchandise modeled after him and labeled 'McCree.'

They've even changed quest titles.

Blizzard is about as lost as you can be.

Because the character was named after a real person that was involved in the sex scandal or whatever it was... the Bill Cosby Room.

Their own employees are sexual delinquents so they're punishing their playerbase by removing any and all jokes or innuendos in the game. They're also renaming characters with a name inspired by any of the employees involved, including established playable characters such as Mcree.

They've also removed the /spit emote in WoW because the playerbase had banded together to protest anyone supporting Blizzard adding things like a mount that didn't exist in TBC if you pay extra for the free release of TBC. The community would use the /spit emote on anyone in TBC riding the cash shop mount and anyone in retail riding any of the many cash shop mounts in the retail shop. A lot of mental midgets got their fee fees hurt by "x spits on you" in a chat box so Blizzard removed the emote entirely.

The woke hysteria is the cherry on top, but Bliz has dropped the ball on nearly every one of their properties

- WoW has completely lost its player base over the last few expansions due to garbage system implementation and now juxtaposed to FF14 it is a comparatively miserable experience

- Overwatch has been stale for years with the only variety coming in the form of recycled seasonal events. They have not announced a hero in 20 months and likely won't before OW2

- Overwatch 2 was announced in 2019 and as of this week no longer has a release date

- Diablo 4 was announced in 2019 and as of this week no longer has a release date (this after losing tremendous player goodwill with the botched launch of Diablo 3)

- Warcraft 3 - one of the most beloved games in the entire catalog - has had a complete and total disaster of a remaster...a remaster!

The only thing Blizzard is executing well on is shoving DLC/cosmetic content down players' throats, but that won't matter as much with hemorrhaging player bases. WoW's decline is catastrophic
