Yeeeesh Hope it leads to some internal change and accountability to ALL leadership and devs responsible for letting the story become what it’s become The narrative team embarrassing the rest of the wow team every patch really must suck for the devs working hard in the crunch to ship the game

WoW: Forever Has A Streamer Problem
Illicit-gold scandals and a cult of personality are threatening to sour what should be a time of celebration for WoW's community.

I’m already seeing folks talk about how much Midnight most likely didn’t involve Metzen at all. Like why does he get a pass? I’m not giving my full opinion, but if you have issues with the story this goes from the top to the bottom. Not just some people you perceive to be the issue.

That makes the most sense to me just based on what we know about how things played out previously for the WoW Team - a few insane individuals in key leadership positions being assholes and making decisions just for themselves, their employees, the customers, and the company be damned.

I am not perfect about this either, so this isn't me lecturing. I know I've said things just as broad before in frustration. Always good to keep in mind: your typical worker/dev probably has insane expectations placed upon them because their management or C-Suite are probably ontologically evil.

Vaknosh @vaknosh.bsky.social · 9h
I think if you're going to say something like "Retail WoW devs need to be fired," that's too broad. If you are going call for firings, it should be specific & focused on leads, supervisors, middle/upper management, etc. Leadership should, rightfully, take the hit for failures before regular workers.

Vaknosh @vaknosh.bsky.social · 9h
Firing discourse is always interesting to me because on one hand I believe that management and/or the C-Suite basically cause 90% of the problems in most workplaces, but on the other hand, I have worked with supposed professionals who were objectively incapable of the job & needed to go.

Orks in Warhammer believe that painting a vehicle red makes it faster and through the inexplicable power of Orkish imagination this becomes true without any mechanical logic behind it. Char Aznable paints mobile suits red and they are described as 3x faster. Is Char Aznable a secret ork?

I've said it once, I'll say it a thousand times more... One of the worst things a writer can do is to make their audience feel stupid for being invested. Trust is hard to get back after it is broken and apathy is a difficult emotion to turn back into excitement and joy.

Where the chuds get it wrong is that WoW isn't "woke" or progressive. It doesn't believe in anything. Its politically neutral and safe which in turn just means it pushes narratives like "Colonizer and Colonized are equals" by refusing to actually take a radical stance on things.

I just think it's bad when you can make a decent argument that the current Warcraft writers appear to be more politically & ideologically incoherent and less capable of writing progressive stories than the Cosby Suite-era writers of out-of-control rockstar sex pest dudebro dads?

And the real grossness of it all is that despite their "progressive" stances they'll allege to hold, there are major aspects of the story that basically read as fascistic what with the whole Make Elvenkind Great Again.

At the risk of chudness: Warcraft feels like it is being written by & for Liberal (derogatory) millennials poisoned by Tumblr-era Woke 1 identity politics. That "better writing" means making it safe, soft, & inoffensive. No thoughtful critique of the past, just bury it with fluffy sickly sweetness.

So, you will do nothing? Apathy is death. Worse than death, because at least a rotting corpse feeds the beasts and insects.

Lately I've been seeing a lot of depressing posts about how people discard their own experiences in favor of efficiency and utility, and for some reason I needed to launch into a disjointed and pedantic rant about why useless is good.

I finally finished Forsaken Kingdom (I'm not particularly good at RTS games and this one was especially challenging, plus I ran into multiple game breaking bugs). So here are my thoughts on it! (Minor spoiler warning) 🧵 TL;DR: Its everything Warcraft III Reforged should have been. (1)
