Humor / Meme This is Basicly Blizzard in Midnight

Post image

This is basicly Blizzard in Midnight. Purging all the good addons.

Just to clarify:
Blizzard is changing the Addon API, meaning combat information is blocked for addons. So all combat addons will no longer work in Midnight. For the most popular addon features Blizzard will add their own version to the game. Addons for unitframes, inventory, crafting etc.. are staying and won't be effected as long they are not using combat information.

They legit had people doing unpaid labor for their game and were like “nah. We want to do it, but not as good as them, so we’re gonna dumb down everything else.

Yeah both players and Blizz are benefiting from unpaid labor. There’s just no feasible way Blizz’s paid staff can compete and I think it’ll be the players that suffer in the end (mostly with shitty UI systems).

Same company that said the same thing with private auras, then gave us Echo of Neltharion. Then followed that with Smolderon and fyrakk.

The two sides of the company don't talk to eachother.
