America is already being shaped by these institutionally educated individuals. They are making their way into corporate HR, corporate management, and the older generations are caving to them because they need to attract the workforce who is made up of these individuals (just look at the military for reference and the tranny bullshit). It may have existed in one form or another for the life of America but never has it had so much mainstream acceptance.

And they all somehow expect their entertainment bukkake to continue blasting them like a Selma firehose after the great revolution removes profit motive and managers/owners/property rights.

So we can all agree that the character assassination of Afrasiabi, and others, was just a strategic gambit to put downward pressure on the planned corporate buyout price, right?

Collectively, if enough people who can vote are affected, how much more likely are they to vote for a candidate that favors government handouts and UBI? An entire generation is being conditioned to be lazy, unproductive, and scared of the world.

Wecome to every boomer generation. BTW counter culture will eventually form and win out. Right now it might be cool to be a blue hair tranny, but things will change I still have faith. My kids for an example laugh at all this shit. They see the clown world as im sure many others do.

THIS is what happened to Blizzard. One can see how this continues too. Roiding on the sucess of WOW and its money printers you can see how a frat boy culture formed. And no one batted an eye becuse the money was flowing. But once the money train stops, thats when accountability enters the picture. Especially how the frat boys are finger banging interns in the high offices.

Utter nonsense.

There were multiple major ongoing lawsuits.

Dark money corporate cloak and dagger shit or Hanlon’s razor, “Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence or stupidity.”

Except your graphic is completely wrong because they actually kept making WoW more and more needlessly complex. They actually dumbed down the company instead of dumbing down the game.

There are books that detail "corporate engineering", especially when it comes to navigating acquisitions and bankruptcy. Often times, the CEO or Board Members are completely on board with what is going on and steer a company into an abyss for a substantial payout. Greed makes people do a lot of things. Stupidity and negligence also exist, but bankruptcies and acquisitions make people a lot more money than you may think.

None of those QOL improvements lowered the overall complexity of the gameplay itself. The content got harder with basically every expac. Some of those QOL improvements lowered certain aspects of logistical complexity for guilds, like letting people roll alts faster or swap roles easier.

You're the retard that paid Blizzard for the privilege to farm old, easy content and then claims it's anything other than old, easy content.

That's something completely different that you're talking. That's like Bain Capital-style private equity financial engineering.

No shadowy forces tanked Activision/Blizzard "on purpose" because Activision/Blizzard never tanked. The company was very fucking profitable and Bobby Kotick is going to make out like a bandit in this whole deal. Kotick stayed the course through all those lawsuits to get the company in a place to cash out.

What Microsoft chooses to do with the brand once they own it is up to them. I think they see major longterm recurring revenue value in the individual product ActiBlizz brands that Bobby had left to run out the clock.
