I don't think it's appropriate for me to get involved here. I'm not just a normal player. I'm someone who worked on WoW for six years, so I feel like my voice would carry more weight than it should, more weight than someone who actually has skin in the game.
In terms of my thoughts on the topic, a lot of players keep asking, so I'll just quote myself on Twitter here:
- I've been asked this a lot. I'm not going to pick a side about who is right or wrong because it's probably not that simple
- I definitely feel for the players who lost something.
- But I'm sure Blizzard had good reasons. Maybe they had to protect their IP, because you can lose it if you do not. IDK.
- I think most of you know that one thing Blizzard and I do disagree on is how much you should communicate with players.
- I try to be as transparent with players as I possibly can be.
- Blizzard had a different philosophy, which is fine. I don't begrudge them that.
