This is beyond parody
>be blizzard
>use royalty free music on your trailers because you fired all your composers
This sounds to dumb to be true but i am going to assume it is because this is Blizzard in 2022.
There's no way they did this, what the hell music would be in the game if they fired all the composers
>Blizzard game
>Music
I like a lot of the background tracks in wow the ones in northrend are especially good I never really noticed when I was a teenager
Frick you Grizzly Hills is amazing.
Agreed, it's a shining gem too bad that gem is sitting a pile of shit.
vanilla had some of the most iconic music in wow
>music so good some nip composer decided to copy for a super robot game
They had multiple top tier composers working on a soundtrack for a single WoW expansion, hell if you want to be jaded and say they suck what about the orchestral kino of WC3 or SC1/2 soundtracks
People may shit on those small carriers but they work fine, as long as you don't intend on turning your phone into an "entertainment hub".
I'm on Boost Mobile, which is like half the price of Sprint, the network they piggyback off. The only thing you can't get with Boost that you can get with big carriers is international calls. But I don't travel anyway, so that's not an issue for me.

good evening
this isn't blizzard anymore, it's activision-blizzard, aka golem risen from the dead and puppeted around in a macabre, sickening parody of video game """development""" compared to what blizzard actually was in its' heyday
That was over 15 years ago anon

Sad! Many such cases! No go post some shitty infograph and a wall of incoherent text trying to make some point no one cares about.
I'd rather have you reply to me instead. I hope you directly or indirectly reply to me again.
Well, yeah. They were fine with it out in sanfran until encampments starting moving into neighborhoods. Now everyone's decided it's bad.
NIMBY is basically the principle they all devote their lives to.
holy checked and based now THIS is Ganker!

We like that picture now. I guess you missed the memo.
Homeless people legitimately don't want a house, anon. They like being homeless.
I wonder how many of them would just revert to Nomad tribes if possible.
I mean, if they aren't homeless for meth related reasons, I mean.
>I wonder how many of them would just revert to Nomad tribes if possible.
Isn't that basically what they are? They have their own culture and way of doing things.
I don't know if I would go that far, since they usually stick around certain areas.
I'm pretty sure if they started hunting and gathering the government would just put a stop to them.
You're being a little romantic I think. Some of them are like that but most of them are either crazy to the point where they can't function in normal society, or hooked on fricking drugs so they can't function in normal society.
Homelessness for people without chemical addictions or mental issues does happen but it is temporary. They are motivated to gain shelter.
You don't have that motivation if you got brain problems or are blitzed out of your skull on meth. Your motivations then are to feed those brain problems and get more meth.
>Wow I feel so bad for the homeless
>no I will not give them my house to live in
>but they should have comfortable benches to sleep in, Im a good person!
lmao and lol
Why are there school shootings when the Blizzard offices are at a known location and easily accessible? Makes no sense to me.
Wow so edgy
Spotted the blizzard employee
Angry teenagers have beef with other teenagers, not video game employees. Plus its more edgy to kill kids and its what everyone else does.
>be homeless
>can barely afford food, clothes and other commodities
>cant sleep on benches in real life because of anti-homelessness design
>at least sleep knowing that they dont exist in OW2.
and blizzard fans will still buy it and lap up the lootboxes who cares? You cant deter Blizzard fans you could tell them spending money on Overwatch 2 funds terrorism and they'd still do it
do we actually have to register a real phone number to play? This is too stupid to be true.
It's real name forum accounts all over again. They never learn lol.
It's real. I actually would have tried it if it wasnt for that but oh well.
yes
Yeah, and they're only allowing numbers on a major phone network provider so if you aren't being cucked by the likes of Verizon or T-Mobile they're not going to let you play.

>aaand then the the paid shill contract period ends and game drops back in to the literally who tier
This must be the reason Valorant has 100k viewers on twitch, right? They bombard Valorant streamers with drops and shit for League? There's no way Valorant is that popular organically.
I'm in college right now, LoL is still the big game with zoomer audiences right now. I've only ever heard like 4 people talk about overwatch and 2 talk about valorant, so val unironically has less organic popularity than fricking Overwatch
normies love Riot. Despite the meme hatred of LoL it prints money, and their LoL show was a massive popularity boost for them
Valorant is just deep enough to be interesting but casual enough so normies like it, exactly like LoL

What's the problem anons? Just give them your phone number, address, and social security number. This way they can notify your employer if you say any gamer words.
How will my remaining gold transfer over?
>he doesn't know
lol
lmao
roflmao
Oh no, Should I spend the like 15k I have from when I use to play on whatever Mei costumes there are while I still can?
They are deleting ow1 and all your currency will be next to worthless in ow2 only usable for scraps.
15k points from OW1 will be converted to $0.15USD for OW2's cash shop. I'm not joking, that's what's happening and you're a fool if you don't blow through all your OW1 funds right now before Blizzard pulls the plug. Also, all the legendary skins will be at minimum $20USD in OW2, no alternative unlocking methods.
Goyim, I...
It transfers over as "legacy credits", each new hero will have 1 legendary and epic skin plus recolors that can be bought with legacy credits
>reveal that OW1 currency will be usable for a handful of items in OW2 exactly 1 day after hosting an event designed to trick people into spending the rest of their OW1 currency
what was the event?
>what was the event?
they put every old skin on sale, I think it's still going
Why not just say that homelessness was solved in their world?
They wouldn't need hostile benches if there weren't any more homeless.
Could just be a generic design for the bench. You get an arm rest or a place to put your drink and hot dog.
Stop playing their games. You won't though.
that people won't be able to even launch the game if they don't have a phone, they have a phone plan from Cricket Mobile or Metro or a few other providers
The providers listed covers the majority of the modern world and this is a good change. Online games should be tied to real life identity. Act like a goon online deserves real life retribution. The only people with a problem with this are probably the ones that are the issue with toxic online communities.
Unironically find hostile architecture very interesting
doesn't look too uncomfy, bums are always covered in ton of rag anyway
I don't know how it is outside of San gaycisco/Portland, but over here the homeless never use the benches because they're usually exposed to the elements and offer no coverage on any sides. They sleep in tents and roll out sleeping bags, permanently planted in spots like underpasses or behind the Smart & Final across the Home Depot.
God Portland is such a shit hole I have to ride the bus through there for work and every time I see entire shantytowns of tents and druggies
its being done on purpose to tank stock value for a easier purchase by microsoft
Americans wouldn't have a homelessness problem if you they didn't spend so much money on military weapons to destroy sandBlack person countries
how in that empty mind of yours did you manage to connect these two unrelated things.
He's right you know.
The only way we wouldn't be fighting Israel's wars would be if we were free from them. If we were free from the israelites, we wouldn't have a homeless problem because all the blackrock Black folk buying up housing would get sent to Madagascar in a 10x10 cube.
People aren't homeless because there's a lack of resources to help them. The resources are there and they don't want to make use of them. That's something you'll never understand if you haven't lived around them, especially if you've never worked fast food and interacted with them in a heavy homeless area. They like living like that, anon. The majority of them do it by choice.
The vast vast majority of homelessness resolves itself in or around 1 year. The people you see on the street long term are there because they can't or won't integrate into society. You could give the the keys to a paid off house today and they'd be back on the streets sooner than later. There are huge issues with US housing including corporate landlords but it's not the cause of homelessness as we commonly know it. Homelessness as we know it is predominantly a symptom of untreated mental illness.

>butwhatabout muh homeless
of course they're designed to make dirty homeless shitters uncomfortable. that is literally the point, to keep the filthy ugly drug-addled, dangerous homeless dregs from sleeping and loitering and shitting and pissing up the place in parts of the town where actual humans frequent.
Man, shit is going to hit the fan if Blizzard or any other dev starts/requires you download their very own personal New! phone plan to play any of their shit on top of a subscription
It's still going to sell millions
I'm glad I never was duped into playing the first game, and this trash.
Thanks for saving me money I guess Schlomo.
I'm convinced these gays have never had to live near homeless "people". Hostile architecture is a good thing
they literally haven't, because they change their tune the moment they do
is blizzard currently the most incompetent company in gaming? 2 months away from their big new xpac and they don't even have the beta out either.
Reminder it costs $16,000 to unlock everything that was free in OW1
I feel sorry for the Diablo team, the art and cinematics departments, and other teams that aren't WoW or OW being attached to the clownshow that is modern Blizzard.
The diablo team hasn't been the diablo team since blizzard north died. It hasn't produced anything of value since D2.
Post the retweets Black person
>Heroes locked behind the battlepass
No way players will accept this. Remember when brig first released? Now imagine not having her on your team for the months shes broken because your support players are poor.
P2W trash.
>No way players will accept this.
What players?
These are blizzdrones we're talking about, the same people who think Dragonflight is going to save WoW
My friend keeps pestering me to play it with him when it comes out. I took one look at that shit and said nope. Looks like a deviant art convention. Wow is dead to me, it died with arthas.
>remove the thing I don't like, so I can pretend it doesn't exist
I don't get it. Wouldn't leaving the benches as they were, provide social commentary on the issue?
What they should've done was add a homeless person sleeping on the ground in front of those benches. But they don't care, it just makes them feel "bummed" out.
Removing them is also social commentary. Overwatch was designed with an idealistic future in mind.
>Overwatch was designed with an idealistic future in mind.
If that's the case then there's no homeless at all, so they can leave the arm rests in place.
Have you honestly never sat on a bench?
>homosexuals
>idealistic future
pick one
It doesn't have to be your ideals to be idealistic.
Sorry groomer, the future has no place for you in it.
>Overwatch was designed with an idealistic future in mind.
They didn't do a very good job, because there's a lot of fighting and conflict in the game.
Yes, australia nuking itself into Mad Max and kaiju sized killer robots regularly attacking various countries is such an ideal future
>bu-bu-buh we have Hope™!
Worthless trash, all omnics should've been exterminated from the very first Men of Iron incident.
i'll be playing it
that people won't be able to even launch the game if they don't have a phone,
>bought the watchpoint pack in July
>dont have to buy it in 3 days
basically got it free, whats the problem again?
I'll try it
And when its shit i'll probably delete my blizz account as a whole. I don't even touch sc2 customs anymore, nothing else they have has any worth to me.
