That is extremely disappointing, the support for Hong Kong and the player that was banned, has been overwhelming. I've seen virtually zero trolling or anger actually, just players sharing that they are done with Blizzard.

I mean, just because you're not seeing it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, necessarily.

My impression was that many/most of the fans that run big game reddits are in somewhat close with the given company and given special access/information and will often act in the company's interest to avoid jeopardizing that.

The official Hearthstone forum is in full meltdown mode with people blasting Blizzard. Their moderators are in overdrive mode with suspending every single person and deleting threads. I made a post about no longer feeling comfortable with supporting Blizzard, it attacked absolutely no one, and had no vulgar language, and I was just hit with a 1 month probation.

Appeal to reddit admins -- it probably won't work because lol reddit, but if that that subreddit is being run by mods who are connected to blizzard that's against reddit's nominal rules. Escalate the pain up the ladder.

This was the official Blizzard forums for Hearthstone, on battle.net. The best I can do is appeal to the customer service reps who make minimum wage, they are not going to care or be able to do anything about it.

This is appalling. I can safely say I will terminate all my support of Blizzard immediately, painful as it might be. I will never play all *checks library* zero of my recent purchases from them again.

Atari nowadays seems like a warning label for a game being awful.

Remember that alone in the dark game where the singleplayer was simply going through the multiplayer co-op maps alone?

The reviews savaged the hell out of it.

"My brain is amazing! It's full of wrinkles, and... Uh... Wait... What am I trying to say?"
Also WC3 is one of my all time faces and I was waffling on reforged after the record profits/fire 800 people thing but I guess not now huh.

l think also I'm calling it on Dicey Dungeons - I played about ten hours, and liked it, but as I dig deeper into the challenges it seems like more and more you just get hot-rolled by an enemy into an inescapable spiral a bit too often. I'd revisit if they end up adding content - not that I don't think it's worth the price, but as it stands in a lot of situations you don't have any real choices to make because the right one is pretty obvious.

I'm watching a John Wick Hex stream and using melee takedowns to move out of the way of gunfire seems really cool

You may want to keep an eye on A Year of Rain, which looks to be a lot like WC3 only it's made by Daedalic instead of Blizzard. It also seems to be focusing on 2v2 multiplayer, although I have no idea what that might actually mean.

Really looking forward to this game. It's in closed beta testing currently, so hopefully it does still release by the end of the year.

if it were me i'd keep them, but I also wouldn't have left them in old boxes somewhere so idk, you're probably fine selling. like someone else said the big things are going to be the games, you can always get a system back easily assuming no sentimentality with the ones you have.

goons will always be willing to buy stuff like that though if you decide you don't want to deal with ebay.

Cool, I'll keep em then.

There's some sentimentality, it was more just a space thing. Like i said, i was about to chuck em today but they might be fun to play every so often, especially as not everything's been emulated.
