The answer is simple. Classic made Kotic look at the WoW developers and say: "WTF are we even paying you for?"

Its a reference to the video quoted above. (it was supposed to be a joke).
And please, Activision/Blizzard is a multi-billion dollar company, they will, in fact, ignore protesters on their way to doing what they are doing. (I don't like it, but they aren't cancelling anything...nor did it ever dawn on them to do so).

Retail WoW, which makes much more money for Blizzard than Classic does.
Surprised to see Heroes of the Storm on there. I had a lot of fun with that, but I switched to Overwatch once that came out. Do enough people even play HotS these days to make it worth their efforts? I do think it's a good game, but it just felt like it never caught on.
What I'm excited about is actual good Diablo news, and anything about the future of Overwatch.

HotS still has a really healthy community. I play Quick Match every night with 3-5 players and get balanced matches (equivalent team comps; reasonably similar skill levels) in less than a minute.

Good to know that you value entertainment over human rights. That's your personal choice to deal with, but why you want to brag about it, I'll never understand.
Edit: oh it's a troll account with 2 posts. Okay, nothing to see here.
They've never banned Pooh cosplay and BFA has a Winnie the Pooh reference in Stormsong Valley with the whole gang
My virtual ticket is ready
Come on now. Being a Blizzard fan doesn't mean someone doesn't value human rights. That's a bit extreme. You can do what makes you feel good about yourself, but insulting other people you know nothing about and saying they don't value human rights because they like a video game developer isn't helpful or needed.
So many members claim to be caring and progressive but are very quick to judge others who don't share their exact views or opinions.
No, I get being passionate about games, and being a fan of the developers. But attacking people for saying they hope Blizzard gets called out and proudly proclaiming that you'll "always support the company" is something else entirely.

No it isn't. It's a matter of what realistically matters. Boycotting a single game dev and proclaiming to be a human rights white knight is beyond annoying. Tim Cook just joined the board for a Chinese university. Where's the outrage? Xbox One, PS4, Switch, all made in china using what is basically modern day slavery, so they are DIRECTLY funding the human rights violations people are complaining about. Where's their boycott? Blizzard in no way funds china in the way any other major corporation does, yet nobody REALLY cares enough to want to do anything that can actually have an impact. People complaining about, and boycotting Blizz does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to solve the actual problem. All it does is provide a platform for you and others to pat yourselves on the back for being such a political activist while actually doing nothing.
A well functioning adult human being would have understood that was stupid and completely disrespectful thing to do. Imagine working on this project for years, preparing the event for months, only for some moron to try and be smart with their questions. There was nothing "good times" about that stupid question. Hopefully they are pre-screening all questions this year.
Just my opinion. :p
They always prescreen the questions. He just lied about the one he wanted to ask to get a « gotcha » and 15 seconds of fame on the interweb
This is such disingenuous and stupid drivel.
Yes, it actually makes sense to at least boycott some companies, yes, it makes sense to not give money to companies you normally support if they show their ass, yes, it's absolutely preferable to do at least something instead of saying "oh well nothing matters". Don't be a dumbass. You don't have to be a living saint to not give money to a specific company that blatantly acts in a way that goes against your beliefs.
Even if they do all that I just realized that they cant stop a whole crowd from chanting free Hong Kong.
Heroes has a strong community still, although it's obviously on a downswing. Deathwing, who's been pretty heavily requested by fans, was actually just announced today as the new hero.
^Fixed. They'll still do Q&As, but the audience will not get to ask them this time around. The likeliest scenario is that Blizzard moderators/staff will read from a set of submitted questions which have been thoroughly curated beforehand.
It probably still won't go well — a disruption or two from the audience is practically a guarantee — but they'll still do a Q&A.
Yep. I actually rooted for the dev going "Do you not have phones?"
I mean, A) the question is valid, and B) give the guys a break. They didn't want this to be the only Diablo announcement either. Like literally basic empathy.
So what youre saying, is Nintendo Sony Microsoft, and Apple all represent your beliefs in directly funding Chinas human rights violation? thats in fact what you just said and what you say every single time you give them any of your money. And you severely overestimate your value to any company. The only way any boycott ever actually means anything is if its on a large enough scale to actual impact the company in question. This isnt, and never will be. Which means your boycott and spouting about it is in fact, just for you, and wanting pats on the back for being such an activist. Get over yourself, and stop clogging up threads from people who actually want to discuss the subject of the topic
I'm really not sure the game is so close to release. I'm expecting summer 2021 at the earliest
End of 2020 for the beta. Same cycle as vanilla D3 and RoS
They do this every year, still no confirmation if it'll be only pre-submitted questions yet.
The opening ceremony and the other big panels on the Mythic Stage are all going to be streamed for free.
Fuck off Blizz and your shamelessness at being consistently terrible with your balancing teams / treatment of players and how you're constantly bending your knee to china
Come on, let's not advocate for piracy right now. If you don't wan't to pay Blizzard for it, just dedicate your time to something else. It's what a whole lot of people are rightfully doing.
Can someone explain HALL E to me? Is that something they always have or are Blizzard planning to revive old classics like Lost Vikings and Blackthorne?It was never a remote possibility.
Anyway, floor plan has no Diablo section, but the big empty space by Hall D is pretty conspicuous. If diablo 4 is happening, that's probably where the demo stations will be.
Hall E is where their playing stations for older stuff are. Some of those older games are probably running on arcade machines.
