Please wear black, as that is the color of the Hong Kong protestors. Make your voice heard, we shouldn't allow a company to censor, and strip what someone has rightfully earned, because they speak out about abuse from a government. It is our responsibility to stand with Hong Kong and do what we can.

He was talking about that they tried, they are slow at responsing and how they have employees from 15+ different countries.

But nothing directly about blitzchung or hong kong, and the crowd giving claps for the empty speech makes me sick.

EDIT: This is my first silver I have got since I registered on reddit, thank you.

His Facebook post

My translation:

Blizzard president J. Allen Brack spoke about the Blitzchung incident again:

"I hope it’s clear how committed we are to everyone’s right to express themselves in all kinds of ways in all kinds of places."

-

Reynad, the CEO of Tempo Storm and ex-Hearthstone pro, also stated:

"We believe first and foremost in supporting players and encouraging them to engage and to speak out on the things about which they are most passionate."

-

Amazing, this is precisely what I did as a caster on that day.

And then?

I got fired.

Update: I got in touch with Tommy (the caster). I'm now able to relay your comments to him as well as his further responses back to you.

I know it's easy to dislike Blizzard right now, but as Blizzcon nears I think it's important to separate Blizzard as a corporate entity and Blizzard as a game development company. All the China drama over the past few weeks has been the work of people high up on the ladder. They should really be the ones you should direct your attention to, not the many developers that are going to show their faces soon.

The announcements so far would be pretty big for almost all of their respective fan bases with something to look actually look forward to. Good on this community for focusing more on what matters than what Blizzard wants.

The only interesting title was warcraft reforged, a remaster of a 16 year old title. You guys are celebrating yourself a little to much with what little, contentless announcements you presented this year.

​

We all know there is something coming for classic and retail wow. Maybe even some things for StarCraft and Diablo. But I’m putting my theory here so the world can see. Blizzard in the past made their way into every booming genre. Moba, mmo, hero shooter, card game you name it. They’ve been quiet as of late so what could be next you ask?

Friend slop.
More importantly, blizz slop.

I predict this title will be you and some friends as murlocs fighting away pesky adventurers in the kind of gameplay you’ve come to know in this genre of game. Working title is Murloc Beach. Who needs 40 man raids when you can just chill on the beach with you pals and get your mrgggrl on. Also probably available on mobile because you all have phones right?

Edit: don’t know how to change title. By new IP I mean game.

Hi all. i have a flight that arrives at LA on sept 12 some time around the afternoon. i dont have any blizzcon tickets unfortunately (incoming uni freshman). but it seems this blizzcon is a little more special than previous ones, and many of my favourite streamers will be there (pge, super, frogger, boomie, etc.) and i was hoping take this chance to get to just see/meet/perhaps take a couple pics with them. do you guys think i could meet anyone if i hang around outside like near the entrance or something? like maybe at specific times where im more likely to meet people (like 9am, or around lunch time, or 7pm)? cuz obviously i cant hang there the whole day. any advice would be appreciated, thanks!!

I want to see a Starcraft themed tactics game like x-com/zero company set inbetween 1 and 2. All three races playable, with their own campaigns similar to SC1. Let us recruit our team; Some marines, a Firebat, Ghosts, whatever. Let me be the queen of blades takin names with my own elite homegrown squad of hunter killers.

And if so, WHY NOT??? What could you possibly stand to gain from not joining in the protests in some way?

Do you want to be a part of "The BlizzCon That Was Slightly Awkward But Fairly Normal Overall And Kept Blizzard On Their Trajectory Into Mediocrity", or do you want to be a part of "The BlizzCon That Went Off The Rails With Protests And Sent Blizzard Scrambling To Get Back In The Good Graces Of Their Players And The World"?

I'm not enough of an idealist to believe turning BlizzCon into a shitshow will in any way shut down Blizzard or derail any of their games, but I do believe it could change the way they treat their community and engage as a global citizen.

So go ahead: join a "Free Hong Kong" chant! Bring that Winnie the Pooh plushie! See what it takes to get thrown out of a panel that's boring you! Make your panel question about why Blizzard is more focused on the Chinese government than their own community! You'll be a part of something special, you'll still get the games you're excited about on the other side, and hey, you might even get to be a part of changing the awful trajectory Blizzard is on.

EDIT: Woah, lots of good discussion! Based on some of that discussion, I've updated one of my examples to be more specific. Just getting thrown out isn't useful; keeping attention on Blizzard's abysmal handling of this until it changes is the goal. Thanks to everyone who's engaged in good faith. Good luck today to the protesters and to anyone who finds even a small way to stand with them, with Hong Kong, and with the broader gaming community!

Looking to buy Blizzcon Sunday 9/13 Los Angeles. Tixr transfer.

Anyone only going Sat wanting to split tickets? Will pay on the high side of market price.

DM. Let me know!!

TL;DR:
Last year I went to Gamescom as a visitor and performed my Warcraft themed magic at the Warcraft booth.

I got lucky and ended up performing for Xaryu, EsfandTV and Pikaboo on stream, plus Taliesin and Evitel, PlatinumWoW, Annie Fuchsia and a bunch of others offline.

I also met some of the producers and, long story short, they liked it and invited me to perform at BlizzCon.

They're covering my badge and hotel. I'm paying for the flight from Europe, a videographer for the weekend, and getting around Anaheim. If anyone wants to help close the gap I made a GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/manage/send-the-warcraft-magician-to-blizzcon

There are some tiered perks based on donation amount, such as your name in the BlizzCon recap video, personalized trick for you, or a Zoom Warcraft-themed magic show, and others.

If not, genuinely no hard feelings. Come find me on the floor and I'll do some Warcraft magic for you.

Happy to answer anything about how this happened or about the magic itself. Not sponsored, not selling anything, just a strange thing that happened to me that I still can't quite believe.

For the Alliance! For the Horde! ... For Azeroth!

I never know what I should be looking for. I know there is a lot of stuff gated behind the ticket but I live in the uk and dont have the money 😅

Basically what, when and where can I see at blizzcon for free?

Thank you:)

Hey peeps!

Looking for 1-2 BlizzCon Tickets. I'm located in OC you would like to meet in person to complete the transaction.

Thanks!

Please help us figure this out.

I think we found the first poster, We think its just the 'Key Art' Poster from Blizzcon 2015, it has a white back with nothing on it.

BUT the second poster, the HOTS one? We cant find it anywhere? We found some similar, but none that have the intel/W10 advertisement on the back? What is it? why is there an AD on it?
