I’d been more impressive if it had been ABK Workers Horde -- you know they’re looking for some Blood and Thunder

Good.

Yeah, and Afrasiabi was in Fires of Heaven.

And yeah, they were very close — between the two of them (and their followers) they ground EQ to a halt over making EQ paladins a good tank -- among other shenanigans. 

Yeah, I misread the intent of your message -- probably because of personal bias in that I’m pretty sure there’s gonna be dirt on Kaplan surfacing soon -- he has to be dirty. You can’t be that close to Afrasiabi for decades and not get shit on yourself. 

Jeff? The guy whose EQ name was Tigole Bitties? (as in Big Ole Titties), that Jeff? The Jeff that is best buddies with Afrasiabi, that basically ran the infamous FoH guild in EQ with Afrasiabi?

I’m perfectly ok with anything that pisses off miners -- get bent for taking all the special edition gundam nvidia cards! 

actually, he looks like he came out of the sopranos set. 

Remember, Brack did run in the same EQ social circles as Afrasiabi and Kaplan -- it’s hard not to imagine that he’s gonna get dragged even more as more dirt comes to light. 

My friend’s Cadillac was totaled at the dealership when a drunk driver with no insurance hit a light pole that fell on top of several cars that were staying overnight at the dealership parking lot for service — and yes, this was in Texas — lawyers got involved and my friend ended up getting a settlement that was…

Go tell that to the Nevada culinary union. 

Brack, the current president ran in the same circles as Afrasiabi and Kaplan in their EQ days. Morhaime and Metzen brought them during the development of WoW.

Even if some of the old guard is gone, they obviously allowed things to fall into place to allow this kind of systemic thing to happen at their company.

I’m…

You can tell Nathan is super-thirsty for this streamer.

It’s also funny I’ve yet to see any articles on Hololive, even from Kotaku East, given how big they are as streamers — which kinda feels like proof that Nathan really is just a simp for this streamer. 

I think a lot of people are overreacting to the changes, but at the same time, it feels like somewhat of a bait-n-switch, specially when the bait-n-switch was leaked and Kevin Smith started to act like an ass about it, claiming it was all al lie.

It’s like being told you won tickets for the Boston Red Sox, but instead…

I get what you’re saying but
a) IIRC WoW changed their subs recently and now their only sub plan is 60 days
b) a bunch of people had free time accumulated from purchasing said gametime with excess gold

I haven’t played since they hired that torture apologist from the Bush era, and even unsubscribed — but sub doesn’t…

it’s not like they can do it overnight -- they might get changed by the next tuesday patch though. 

I mean... Afrasiabi was brought during the original Beta along with Kaplan. That means the old guard were the ones that allowed this to take place.

We should all be side-eyeing Mike Morhaime, Chris Metzen and Jeff Kaplan, particularly Kaplan since him and Afrasiabi were best buds during their EQ days, but all those…

And here I thought that the worst Activision Blizzard could do was hire a literal Bush-era war criminal.

yeah, and i only play during my downtime between jobs 

I only play one gacha game, I have a 93% completion rate — I have yet to spend a single dime — and I could raise it to closer to 97% if I put more effort in clearing the highest levels (and you don’t need money to do so, just actual effort)

Some games have very predatory gacha, some other games, the gacha part is…

It’s probably what Toto forwarded in his email
