His point around 7:20 is very important. It’s a trap of which I am definitely a victim:
" ‘Just hit accept and play. You aren’t important or powerful enough to spend brainpower on this.’
It’s not about whether or not I believe that there will be a societally important reason that I personally sue Blizzard […] It’s about this very slow erosion of rights and the lowering expectations. "
My expectations of corperations is eroded as fuck mane. I literally accept that they are taking advantage of me because ‘that’s just how it is’.
Good thing I’ve been boycotting Blizzard Activision for years already
I’ve been playing on a private wow server and imagining that I’m stealing from them. I’m not, but theywould think i am.
Im winning dad!
Good going, son!
I never got into wow. Do you still need a subscription to play on some private servers?
I’m on a free server that accepts donations (and gives non-ptw rewards) there are a lot like it (in that they are all free).
When/why did you start? For me, it was because of bnetd (holy shit, it’s been 22 years).

I caved for D2R, but still irked at how it’s “online only”. D2 was just one of my fav games and they surprisingly hired it out to someone who did a great job. D4 though, didn’t even entertain the idea.
Blizzard can go fuck themselves with a saguero cactus, all the way from shaft to tip.
I wasn’t intending to buy anything of theirs in the near future anyway, luckily. Now I see even less reason to “donate” money to them by their definition of “purchase”.

Haven’t logged into my bnet account in years.
I just don’t give a fuck. Never should have made it at all, tbh.
Steam or bust. And even that’s pushing it.
Honestly, I’m at a point where I mostly don’t give a shit about online features in game, they’re just there to push a subscription, IAPs and lock you to their terms. I just want to play a game at my own pace, on my own terms, and know that I’ll be able to play that game indefinitely.
There are at least
threefour users who enjoy deep throating Tim Sweeny in this thread.
Well Blizzard isn’t going to see my money any time soon then. It’s unfortunate because I love Starcraft but they don’t want me to purchase any of their stuff because apparently “purchase” means nothing to them except to suck money out of apathetic drones.
Also the SC2 Arcade mode recently had an exploit that leaks IP addresses due to poorly filtered text rendering.
If you love Starcraft, forget about Blizzard and keep your eyes on Frost Giant.
I suppose it’s time to pirate WC3, SC2, and brood war rather than play them on the account I bought them on.
Unfortunately i was having a blast since Classic launched and i could play again what i once fell in love with. It’s easy to stop when the offering is modern Wow which in my opinion is really bad. I was having so much fun with Classic Hardcore and Classic Era. Time to stop completely or play on bad private servers i guess.
play on bad private servers i guess
Oh damn, I ate too many selfhosted letters, I’m afraid I’ll have to vomit.

Urgh. Sorry. Nothing to see here, move along everybody!
Thank you for your service.
Check out TurtleWoW! It’s basically Classic+
Thanks for the suggestion but i have gone back to playing my old console games on emulators. I’m kinda into retro gaming because i grew up with it.
aka Microsoft…
Contact support and make it cost them time and money processing support requests all because they want to steal money from their customers. Report it to your local consumer advocacy group and government body. Request refund of all the purchases, on the basis you do not agree to the changing terms of service, that is reasonable refund reason.
Good thing I got diablo 4 during the steam sale
I thought the courts decided these over reaching TOS agreements don’t mean anything, unless that was reversed?
It was decided nobody reads them anyways, so they cannot be enforced.
If you buy Blizzard, you deserved it 🤷
No you don’t.
Yes you do.
