Think we are about to see another wave.

[Wavaryen]

Wow already lost me for other reasons, but... I met my wife in that game. It was a huge part of my young adulthood. Overwatch was super important to me in helping me figure out my identity and in general loving the hopefulness of that world. I cut my teeth on Starcraft and Warcraft II in middle and high school.

I know people who've gotten tattoos, people who came out because of these games, whole communities and long time friendships that were built. I've written over 200,000 words of fanfic for some of these games. Just look at any blizzcon and how excited people are just being there. Again, I MET MY WIFE IN WOW. These games aren't just games, they were worlds that we grew up on and with.

It's devastating and I don't blame anyone for feeling conflicted. Wasn't as personal with HP but felt the same way for those who were when Rowling turned out to be a horrendous person.

Ya I think it bothers me even more because I was part of the friends and family program, so watching something I invested and helped test turn out like this. This is hitting me hard.

There will be other games. WoW was on a downward trend before any of this happened.

It's possible your wife will turn around if they terminate a large portion of the staff. Either way, I would not expect quality content in WoW for a solid 2 years moving forward. This kind of public disruption can only mean complete chaos behind the scenes. Once heads start rolling, it will get even worse.

Ya, but it always had a place in my heart no matter how bad it was. I invested so much time and passion. So no matter how bad it was. I still enjoyed a month or two once and awhile. and with that public statement they just gave. I can't defend them even if they do what is right now. I mean doing it after they get caught? And that statement they made irked me.

Like using the victims family in your statement?
