I feel Kinda Bad for Blizzard...

How do you keep someone like this happy? (This is on the subject of merging WoW accounts with battle.net accounts, a service COMPLETELY run by blizzard)

"I completely agree OP. I will not be forced to anything er....well I guess that isn't true...forced to quit actually. I knew this day would come.

It was a good run and I will enjoy the little bit of time I have left.

It is the same reason I don't play games with that require me to have steam. I do not want your propaganda. The same reason I don't use the Launcher. I just want to log in and play the game. I don't want some quasi-3rd party company responsible I suppose you have sold my credit card info to Battle.net and all my other personal information; I bought the game made by blizzard. Blizzard needs to manage it from cradle to grave. If Blizzard chooses not to do that. I choose not to give me any more of my money."

I'd call troll but so many people are responding like this I can't believe they all are.

Blizzard, Bungie, and Valve.  The trifecta of cool developers.

This guy is an idiot, perhaps its better that he does not continue his service.  A little "real world" might be good for him.

I don't feel bad for Blizzard at all.

One, there's always internet wackos like that out there who threaten to boycott over stupid stuff. They're a vocal and small minority, in the grand scheme of things. I doubt Blizzard is losing any sleep over this issue. I'd wager that 99.9% of the community can be reasoned with. Even if they somehow are stupid enough not to realize that Battle.net is run by Blizzard, the crack-like nature of WoW ensures that many of them will keep playing regardless of what they post online. That's the power of having a truly addictive game.

Two, even if Blizzard's feelings were actually hurt by these idiotic posts, they have millions of hundred dollar bills they that can use to mop up their tears.

Here's another gem: "According to a interview with a keylogger they laugh at authenticators."

lol I wish I could interview software.


Edir: madtypist why you taking this so seriously?

I don't think she is.  She's making valid points.

She's assuming I was actually sad for Blizzard.  I'm not.  I just chose that as the thread title.  This is a thread for posting funny stuff, not for saying "OMG BLIZZARD HAS SO MUCH MONEY IF THEY CRY THEY WILL JUST WIPE THEIR TEARS ON THEIR MONEY."

Like fuck I thought Blizzard would be offended by these posters.

I don't think you're personally sad for Blizzard. On the other hand, it's not exactly hilarious or timely news that there are idiots on the internet.

Well, at least there will be less morons in the game when I return.

I liked the Blizzard statistic that said if they stopped making games/money right now, and I mean shut down their servers for WoW, stopped selling the game, what have you.. they'd still have enough money to make games and pay their employee's for the next 20 years.
