    If people felt they can’t really escape an essential product from a shitty company because of cost, or even convenience, I’d understand.

    Warning: angry rant.

    But this is a video game. Playing video games is my primary hobby. I do it a lot. It’s how I spend quality time with my long-distance partner as well. But it is not essential to my life. We actually have a very viable option of not buying a product from a company helmed by evil, shitty people. It should’ve been more clear-cut.

    Ultimately, my disappointment over this runs pretty deep. I will never respect Blizzard as a company. Honestly, I had hoped that MS acquiring them would mean breaking them up and scattering the resources to different departments. The fact that I think MS is the better of the two probably says a lot about my disdain for Blizzard at this point.
