Quote:“Got in touch with my ex-flatmate, whose sister works as aInteresting, if true.
GM for Blizzard, to see what the internal buzz on this was. Apparently,
at the moment the employees are largely as pissed as the players, and
she stated that despite attempts to keep it hushed, it has become known
that the big creative players within Blizzard are pretty much as unhappy
about this as we are. Everybody has been told they are not free to
comment on this situation outside of specially prepared statements.
It’s still going ahead, however (and here’s where in-house rumours
and hearsay really start coming into play): from what they’ve picked up,
the Blizzard leads have been told in no uncertain terms that the
non-gameplay-related direction of the game is working to a different
blueprint now. GC and company are free to play with shiny new talent
trees all they like, for example, but for the first time the decisions
regarding Battle.net implementation, Real ID, and plans for the general
acquisition of new players for the business are no longer in Blizzard’s
own hands, and that’s not going down too well.”
