Comment by HadesilloI miss Metzen, he was WoW father. He was too Horde, but without him the Horde is no Horde anymore.Comment by ArrayaThis is the most controversial post since High Elf interview x'DComment by ArgheadThe word "toxic" is such an annoying buzzword used by people to make excuses for their failures.Comment by Matt0717Yeah it's nitpicking, I know, but the headline should read "Scott Johnson's Interview with Chris Metzen," or just "Interview with Chris Metzen." The way you worded it, Chris Metzen is the interviewer and Scott Johnson is the interviewee. I know it's just a video game site, but you guys took English in grade school, yeah?Comment by ShadowfactsHe also pointed out the hypocrisy of people losing their minds over Teldrassil, completely writing the story off, and then a few days later gushing about how Saurfang's cinematic and story are absolutely perfect.Comment by 235798It's a strange time for creators.

Since then it appears to have given way to a mindset from some consumers that they're entitled to some aspect of control over creative endeavours.

Stop it.Comment by 235798The word "toxic" is such an annoying buzzword used by people to make excuses for their failures.Comment by Alexia51It's a strange time for creators.

Stop it.Comment by Ellore“FUN” nerfed, damage control detected.....Comment by VolcanpowerThe whole point of giving criticism is to get developers, designers, artists etc, to up there game and make better stuff. Its not about destroying there motivation so that they stop making content. However if they ignore it then they're just digging their own graves.Comment by LSDandMDMA7 and 8 are bad movies, when we talk about "Star Wars".

also, Blizzard(and other such entitys) raised their fans(or whatever) like they are/you see and hear them.
i don't get why "said" entitys play the surprise card.

it's the same with society as a whole, it raised the people like that and is, at the same time, also surprised by the end result, and then comes and lulls us with @#$% like "Political correctness".
Stupidity breeds more Stupidity.

oh and there is nothing wrong with swearing.
context is needed, even here, so grow the &*!@ up.Comment by ArchanosI miss him so much!
<sigh, nostalgia>Comment by DownlinI agree that there was a serious over reaction, but that doesn't mean that Blizzard shouldn't have some backlash in other situations. Like the ending of Cataclysm, where they suddenly castrated the dragons, the threat of extinction being a sledgehammer action to keep them from doing much in the lore unless it comes to being turned against us. That kind of nonsense is stupid, especially when they never touch upon it again. And while Teldrassil wasn't such a case, those kinds of things have happened before and they don't seem to start cleaning it up on their own.Comment by tupolew519He should tell his children the stories about his carrier.Comment by HadesilloWhat a great game was, Samurai Shodown II. Totally agree.
