It's amazing how many will get mad at you for pointing this out. Sorry if truth hurts your little feelings you fucking faggots but big P is absolutely correct.
Corporations / Companies only exist to make money. That is factually correct. The difference in opinion between you and I are on how that money is earned and how that money is spent.
You would rather your $15/mo + microtransactions line Kotick's golden toilet where Ion sleep inside of it, and were completely quick to jump to defend the executives when Furor was attacked by the 'sjw colored hair idiots' at the company about a few months ago, until they started making changes you didn't like that catered to the SJW crowd, and then you tossed them under a bus like the 'SJW idiots' did.
The similarity between the two stances are because the executives backpedaled... but not because they feel there is actually an injustice or moral decision to be made, but because their public-facing moral stance is driven by money. The core issue is the executives at Activision/Blizzard are inherently 'closed-doors' Nixon-style corrupt individuals easily swayed by finance, and any product they put out will also be subject to the same inconsistencies in design, gameplay, employee working conditions, et al.
WoW didn't have good game design since Battle for Azeroth and had no signs of improvement. It was easy to hate on them because 'women harass bad', but the issues are far more deeply seeded than the people who were harassed, and that's being put on public display. I've stayed consistent and have not given Blizzard my money since the DEFH lawsuit game to light because I don't agree with how the game was handled, everyone here was quick to buy D2R when it came out, and I couldn't be fucked to try it because I kept my initial stance and very few opinions expressed here would have changed it, only factual information about the game improving that is backed up with actions, that isn't coming from a corporate talking head, would have changed my stance.
My opinions have a resounding theme that has stayed consistent throughout my online presence:
1) Mass acquisition of currency by a single individual, or group of individuals, should not make them make more unstable or irrational decisions compared to when they did not have that currency. If they do, they're morally corrupt.
2) People deserve to be paid based on the quality of their work, not the attributes of the person in question.
3) The quality of a game being produced by a game studio is the sole judgemental attribute for success.
4) If a companies' employees are suffering, they shouldn't feel like they would be ostracized for quitting terrible working conditions.
5) Those in charge should either transparently improve, nix, or sell off financially under performing games if they cannot be trusted to keep a quality product. They should know when to quit, and not trash their reputation on the way out.
6) People who do amazing work will automatically get amazing results if they do it alone or on their own merits.
7) Pedophiles deserve the guillotine.
I actually sincerely enjoy your commentary here because you don't take people's shit lying down. Just think you're in the wrong on the reasoning. No one's disputing that companies currently exist to make money, the point I am making is if something's designed well enough, you can carve your place in the world without having that be the primary focus.
