Company hate thread. Anonymous 08/12/2021 (Thu) 06:31:10 No. 5
Let's have a news thread focused on companies getting ruined and mocking them for it. Starting with the current Blizzard dumpster fire. <Blizzard is being investigated by the state of commiefornia https://archive.fo/0mPxM <Warcraft 3: Reforged was botched because of internal fights at Blizzard and financial mismanagement https://archive.is/KJRNt >Corporate owner Activision Blizzard Inc. has pushed the developer to cut costs and prioritize its biggest titles. >Blizzard President J. Allen Brack called the original title “monumentally important” when Reforged was announced in 2018. The company promised “over four hours of updated in-game cutscenes and re-recorded voice-overs.” But the project was never a priority for the company, in part because a remaster of an old strategy game had little chance of becoming the type of billion-dollar product that Activision wanted, according to the people, who asked not to be named because they weren’t authorized to speak on company matters. With Blizzard pressured to focus on its biggest franchises, Warcraft III: Reforged couldn’t get the ambitious budget that its leaders wanted. >When Warcraft III: Reforged was released on Jan. 28, 2020, it was widely panned, earning a 59 of 100 on the review aggregation website Metacritic. The game was buggy and missing the components that Blizzard had promised earlier, including the updated cutscenes — sequences that develop the story line but aren't part of game play — and re-recorded voice-overs. The remake even lacked features that the original Warcraft III had contained in 2002, such as a “ladder” system that ranked competitive players. Blizzard also had disabled the original version of the game on its digital platform, so the inferior remake was the only version that fans could easily play. >In the weeks after launch, Blizzard promised to update the game and add some of those features over time, but 18 months later, they are still nowhere to be found. >At the time, the company apologized for the launch and said it had chosen to backtrack on updating the cinematics because “we did not want the in-game cutscenes to steer too far from the original game.” But documentation produced after its release, as well as interviews with 11 people who worked on or close to the game, indicate that Reforged was actually rescoped due to budget cuts and internal arguments over the game’s direction. >Small teams like Classic Games, which worked on remakes including Reforged, were all but ignored in favor of potential billion-dollar games like Diablo IV and Overwatch 2. Blizzard even canceled some of its other projects in favor of the proven hits. Eight months after the release of Warcraft III: Reforged, the Classic Games team was dismantled. >Blizzard chose to plow ahead with a premature release of Warcraft III: Reforged largely because it had already taken pre-orders from players, according to people familiar with the decision. The company couldn’t bump the game too much more without potentially being forced to send out refunds and risking that fans wouldn’t buy the game again. >"We took pre-orders when we knew the game wasn't ready yet," they said, adding later that the company needed to “resist the urge to ship an unfinished product because of financial pressure.” >In the beginning, the Classics Game team had ambitious plans. Throughout 2017 and 2018, developers revamped the game’s script and re-recorded all the dialogue. The goal was to rewrite scenes and flesh out characters to align them with the lore of World of Warcraft, the massively popular online game that had been evolving the story of the franchise for the previous decade and a half. David Fried, a designer on the original Warcraft III who was briefly brought back to work on Reforged, said in an email that “there were things in the works for Warcraft III: Reforged that would have absolutely revitalized a classic game.” >But behind the scenes, things weren’t going well. Members of the team began worrying that they had promised more than they could deliver. Remastering Warcraft III was more complicated than their previous remake, StarCraft, thanks to its three-dimensional models. The team was small, the production was disorganized and the amount of work in front of them was daunting. It had taken months to revamp one of Warcraft III’s levels; now they would have to do the same for dozens more. >Morale plummeted. Rob Bridenbecker, the head of the Classic Games team, was known for an aggressive managerial style, for taking frequent trips out of the country during production and a tendency to give unrealistic deadlines. Miscommunication became a serious issue across the team, as did arguments over the scope and art style, according to people familiar with the matter. Bridenbecker, who left Blizzard in April, declined to comment. >“We have developers who have dealt with exhaustion, anxiety, depression and more for a year now," the developers later said in the postmortem. "Many have lost trust in the team and this company. Many players have also lost trust, and the launch certainly didn't help an already rough year for Blizzard's image." <Blizzard Old Guard Admit Failures Following Lawsuit, WoW Development Reportedly At A Halt https://archive.ph/Lqbh1#selection-423.0-423.89 <"I hate blizzard because I am a simp but I still work for Blizzard because my brain is rotten by soy." https://archive.fo/yVoKy <Blizzard Devs Say Some Men Were Sexually Harassed, Too https://archive.md/qouWG <Blizzard's response was to pretend that nothing is happening and doubling down on the pozz https://archive.fo/lHKD8 <Another woman trying to divert attention from the whoring out at Blizzard. <More and more the whole sexual "harassment" part looks like whores trying to extort money from some of the employees. https://archive.is/r2bkL <There are now rumors (hearsay from some unimportant e-celeb) that all 800 employees fired from Blizzard in 2019 were people persecuted for pointing fingers at the supposed "harassers", with some of them being re-hired at lower salaries, making the whole deal nothing more than money laundering from Blizzard. All of that while STILL keeping some of those who were actually accused and investigated employed.

bankruptcy when?
>>6 Hopefully, soon.
where do we shill this place for more noncucked anons?
>>11 Everywhere. Fuck their rules.
>>12 i'm on it. i'll start in this IG
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgKY9hmbfgo Good videbro about Nintenbro, bro.
Continuing with the thread's theme: >Crapcom joins the feminists and is now cracking down on any lewd art from their IPs https://archive.vn/s4Fo1 https://archive.vn/sMD6m The fat kike censors any mentioning of anything against Crapcom. Never support Crapcom.
>>5 >self censors for muh China market >promotes woke shit in the West yet acts like retarded frat boys Fucking two faced hypocrites, in any case the phrase 'I'm routing for the state of Commiefornia' is something I never thought I'd say but big Box Office gaymer developers going under would be the best thing that could happen now.
>>32 >be feminist >nooooooo girls in video games can't be attractive, woman with large breasts are basically useless bimbo's Also ironic, feminism has devolved into a puritan movement but hey they're fond of hijabs so makes sense.
>>135 All women are useless bimbos. Femtards only hate that useless bimbos who are attractive get all the attention.
>>148 >Femtards only hate that useless bimbos who are attractive get all the attention. Yeah they're quite the petty and bitter people aren't they. I personally I prefer medium and small breasts though, they're just more cute in my opinion. Plus woman with smaller cup sizes tend to age better than ones with giant honkers, I dunno I guess it's genetic but woman with small breasts seem to often retain their feminine form better as apposed to bimbo's who slowly devolve into dwarfs for some reason.
>>151 It is correlated, but not biologically. Big titted meatsacks get more attention, and usually indulge in sex more than the small titted ones. A woman who has sex too many times ends up destroying her metabolism. that also affects her mind. And all of that is accelerate when she has sex without becoming pregnant. AND that is also double accelerated by taking birth control pills. So, it is true that big tits = rots faster with age. But not because their bodies are programmed to do so, but because of their slutness and lack of impulse control, having sex all the time. Sex is draining. And when done frequently, it destroys your health. For both men and women. But the damage is bigger on women (even when they don't get pregnant). Men's body can endure more and recover faster, but engaging in sex too many times can produce irreversible damage to a man's health too, just like it does to a woman's. Celibates live longer for that reason. And society, as a whole, forces the idea of "sex = healthy" down our throats because it desperately needs cattle to produce slaves (children) over and over again, to be used by those in charge of society. Don't ever fall for the "sex = health" myth. If you are going to have sex, do it periodically, with months apart from each time. Or else, your body will rot. Doubly so for women.
>>151 >they're quite the petty and bitter people aren't they Yes. Their whole hate for patriarchy and beauty all boils down to spite due to Men always preferring younger and prettier girls over the rotten old hags. And since aging is inevitable, the old hags always want to force Men to stop desiring the young and pretty, and force them to care only for the old and ugly.
I hate all videogame companies equally, I fully encourage and support piracy and don't care if the industry falls apart altogether, I'll just move on along to another hobby like reading. I am a pirate and PROUD.
>>173 This.
Now, for some CDPR hate. Always remember the Trannypunk fiasco: >Trannypunk performs horribly all the time, on any platform. https://archive.is/0RINO https://archive.ph/cbumE >The Polish government is investigating CDPR over false advertisement and other deceitful practices. https://archive.is/Z6K6j Hopefully, CDPR goes bankrupt soon.
>>11 The webring of course, specifically zzzchan/v/.
