There was a very vocal majority-minority of fans who were vehemently opposed to the new changes to the lore that would have made WC3 more in-line with WoW. And another, much louder majority, who were complaining louder and louder that the game was taking forever to be released.

You were expecting that, I was expecting that; I think a few people were expecting that—but Blizzard promised a bunch of other stuff as well that either never made it in the game (revamped in-game cutscenes, for examples) or were so vehemently opposed (making the lore more in-line with WoW) that they were clearly…

MTG Arena certainly has brought out the frustrated game designer and raging “this fucking sucks you can’t design worth this” nerd out of me, ngl.

Reforged is a masterclass in promising too much, delivering too little, and why sometimes its good when publishers and companies don’t listen to their rabid fanbases. Only Peter Molyneux could’ve done it better.

Clueless Hero still sucks, will always suck, and the comment section is going to keep pointing this out and bitching about it every Sunday until it is removed from the line-up.

“But that’s also not the point.

...Stephen King.

He helped invent an entire genre of literature, basically. That sounds the short of it.

He really didn’t cool it down in later years, or recant; he just stopped being as upfront about it. Read some of his personal letters and it still shines through.

Some people are afraid of clowns.

I’ve reading reading so much Deleuze that I’ve apparently turned off the part of my brain that check whether I’m using either word right lmao
