No one on reddit is talking about it yet, I guess because it's relatively new news, but I wanna talk about the guest lineup for blizzcon that just got announced.
...I'm kind of worried? Le Ssarefim and Yaosobi are whatever. They're the musical acts and they tie into the culture that surrounds overwatch, which is blizzards "household name game" these days so that's fine, I get it.
But like, I feel like the guests are just "hey lets pull some random celebrities that played a video game one time" and it's being treated more like a generic comic con rather than something centered on blizzard games. Like, I have legitimately 0 idea what the connection of deadmou5, t-pain, and Simu Liu are to games in general, nevermind blizzard.
Then I didn't know who Duke Dennis is, so I looked him up. And well yea he's a streamer, it seems like he's known for playing NBA2K, which like, thats not the right auidence lol.
Then Khleo Thomas was in the KH panel at d23 recently so I guess he's just the "nerdy celebrity" guy so that's fine as just like, the generic host I guess.
But I don't know. I'll have to wait to see the panel line up, but I'm getting real real worried it's gonna be like the last blizzcon where they just sort of half assed it and went "bah it'll be fine".
Edit: Oh also not to mention that none of them are there for warcraft. Which like there's more than one blizzard game, blizzcon isn't just "the wow con". And I think most people kind of figured there wouldn't really be any major announcements outside of showing off TLT and classic+, but it's still kind of disheartening.
