I’m of the same opinion but with the opposite conclusion.

You’re probably right that most companies would have done the same/similar, but the fact remains that only Blizzard actually did it, thus the hate. That, and a fair bit of opportunistic outrage from, well, lots of people, which turned up the volume a bit more than was probably warranted.

Blizzard handled the situation extremely poorly, the backlash is plenty fair

The thing is, this isn’t just about Activision, but corporate greed in general. Activision is forcing the company it bought to support an opresive regime and make sub-par games while exploiting it’s workers, because while those at Blizzard care about their fans, Activision surely doesn’t.

I love it. Everyone sucks in this story, but in the most petty and futile ways. It’s perfect.

Sorry, rant ahead.

if she admitted she did wrong and pointed to all the good she has done. I think she should have stayed. But I get the feeling she believes she didn’t do anything wrong.

Gods, these are completely terrible. What marketing department would approve an illegible logo? And whose idea was the Virtual Boy crimson monochrome color scheme? A blind person?

A simple solution for them to combat any type of review bombing:
- Once somebody owns a game by a developer, let them review THAT developer.

I’ll use Ubisoft as an example:

They should have a 5th tab for “Reviews” of how people feel about them as a company. People who have…

less of a pro league and more of a marketing league

A billion dollars is never earned, it’s taken.

Should I point out that Pete has a serious mental illness, and that living with a parent is maybe not the worst/most pathetic idea for an employed, single adult who struggles with suicidal ideation and other self-harm issues? No? We’re going to continue making fun of everything this person does, even though he’s…

The neat thing about this is it’s the opposite of black magic - it’s extremely easy to do and pretty straightforward. The hard part is just getting the idea.
