World of Warcrafthas had a pretty stunning year.
The aging MMO has managed to see something of a turnaround in the past 12 months.
World of Warcraft: Dragonflight seems universally loved by its players, after a couple of disappointing expansions.
Microsoft itself killed off the practice back in 2013.
Warcraft players for years at this point have decried how feedback from expansion betas and alphas was ignored.
Warcraft III Reforged was also notoriously botched, as ABK nickel-and-dimed the game’s production with cheap outsourcing.
This is just further proof that these issues were brought on by Activision corporate, and not by Blizzard.
But ABK is a problematic parent company.
They put us under pressure to deliver both expansions early.
It is deeply unjust to follow that by depriving employees who worked on them their fair share of profit.
Birmingham’s testimony is a direct confirmation that ABK is destroying Blizzard from the outside.
Both Blizzard fans, and especially employees, deserve better.
