| Really if you want to attack Activision stop bringing WoW into it, the payed features are pretty much standard to majority of the MMO's out there and not unique to WoW. |

Most mmo's do one or the other, paid features or subscription. Now WoW does both!
Great OP, getting all the research together and showing us what Blizzard has now become. |

Hey guys wanna know a way to contact Blizz,
Just go to their site and go to support. Then instead of asking for help on support u have space to enter a very relevant concern there. i already did. Dont be scared. this is our game and not theirs to fuck up. Kotick is a devil. Did u know the bible sais, "it is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than it is for a rich, greedy man to enter the gates of heaven." Hey Kotick say hi to Hitler for me when u die u noob ass CEO money hungry devil.
Here is the link for the support section of their site. http://us.blizzard.com/support

This actually makes me really sad. Blizzard always had such loving treatment of the fans, the amount of free days during the start of WoW for example.
Really nice post op, but really sad facts. |

maybe everyone on tl.net should have to pay 1$, so that we can offer some black guy in some ghetto a bunch of money for killing this fucking faggot.
maybe after that, other publishers will start thinking about the power of videogame consumers.

Now that is a bit extreme. |

Don't be an idiot. You are gonna make the mods come down on the entire thread. The OP was a well researched, informative post, but most everything after that has been garbage like this in this thread.

| Kotick dead would make more good than harm to tell the truth, It would be totally fucking awesome if he got cancer or something of the kind. We all know Blizzard is fucking up badly and shafting us with bad service, the question is what we can legally realistically DO against it? Complaining so far didn't really do much, we're still stuck, and nobody wants to actually not play sc2 I believe. |

Kotick truly is a greedy devil bastard that never play any video games in his life and dosen't know the hurt he's causing (i'm quite sure he's aware of that but just don't give a shit because he wants $$$)
How did Blizzard accept that ? |

I played call of duty 1 and 2 and those times were awesome. Call of duty 2 even made it to the WSVG. Then everything went downhill. New call of duty's were released and they became worser and worser. The Belgian cod community, which was big, died. Almost everyone decided to leave the game. It was the end of a great community, thanks to ACTIVISION.
I moved to starcraft 1 as a preparation for starcraft 2. I heard that BLIZZARD delivers great esports games so I was sure that starcraft 2 would become THE esports game. Now ACTIVISION is here to destroy this game and I am not sure that they will not succeed...
What else is left? Counterstrike and quakelive are decent esports games but it ends there. Blizzard was the last hope. Games become easier and easier and the chances for a new esports game are low.
The big problem in my opinion is that people just BUY their stuff. Example: I heard that ACTIVISION is SELLING maps for call of duty modernwarfare 2. People actually buy it... When I played cod1 and cod2, those maps were for FREE. We got them in several patches.
If this trend continues, then we will be paying a monthly fee for every game we want to play in the future.
If never bought an acitivion game after cod4 and I will never buy one again. I will buy starcraft 2 tough. It's time that people stop buying those activision games, just like a lot of people do with the EA games. Stop paying for their stupid DLC's, stop buying their games. Oherwise you will be paying a nice monthly fee for every game in a few years.
Sorry for my bad English  . |

I might be naive or plain out ignorant regarding the business world (as I work as an artist & creative and never really took part of the business world), but could this merger between Activision & Blizzard be seen upon as a miss step and mistake by Blizzard which they would opt out of down the line?
If you think of a company & the business world, 5-10 years Blizzard could buy themselves out of the merger or something similar, no? I don't know the legal terms of their contract and merging, but I'd like to believe that Blizzard will realize what's going on eventually and break free.
If not, someone (some other company) else might (hopefully will) take their spot.. |

Please guys, there's no need to bring out the 12-year old in yourselves.
The OP draws a pretty dire picture, but wishing somebody cancer and other such things is pretty much as inappropriate and immature as it gets. Once you're old enough and have a friend or family member hit by it, you'll understand.
And on the topic of "power of videogame consumers"; we do have power, but the only way to enforce it is to not buy the product. Sure, you can keep telling yourself Blizzard won't notice your 50 bucks, but if everybody thinks that way, what good are we gonna do?
If you disagree with corporate policy/Bnet 2.0/whatever, just don't buy the game, as hard as that may be. That's all you need to do, no need to hire a hitman.Last edit: 2010-05-30 19:22:52 |

Oh and I remember people saying that they will not buy mw2 (when they heard that there will be no dedicated servers). They made big XFIRE groups under the name "we will not buy mw2". A week after the release more then 50% of the group was playing............mw2. Then those kids whined on the forums about dedicated servers and about the fact that they don't listen to the community. Those people forgot that they bought the game and that they actually supported the next call of duty game.
They supported the ignorance towards the community. People buy their games, that's their only goal.Last edit: 2010-05-30 19:21:21 |
