WoW FEELS super fragmented right now.

I mean, when they finally gave in and released Classic I had no idea they would release 10 different versions of it. But that's mostly a different topic.

The shattered world of the main game is the big problem, cities and raids and events that exist only conditionally, like Undercity and Ny'Alotha with the attatched invasion.

Being able to meet and talk with players you can't trade with or craft for, whether they're Horde while you're Alliance, or they're from an unconnected server to yours. When you tell the latter they can send you a personal crafting order for the sword they keep asking for in Trade Chat, they can't.

And as a Blacksmith/Miner main, I get to experience the shattered state of instanced zoning more regularly, every time I fly out to get ore, with several ore deposits simply disappearing as I approach them or start mining them. I see them from the other side of a fracture in the world. When I cross over, the illusion fades away.

If you don't like the attitude of my comment you're really not gonna like the attitude of New Year's administration.

A lot of people who made themselves dislikable to the childish majority are going to suffer.

This guy ain't selective.

Look at his selection.

I'm Norwegian, I make my own meaty beanless burritos every Friday.

The only good traditional variant is birria. Beanless.
Burritos should be a treat, not a beany staple.

Oh, it's a threat from the left. I was more worried about one from the right.

What the left says can be completely ignored right now.

Beans are sad emergency food.

If I'm in a situation where beans are necessary, I'm awfully desperate and out of options.

Rubber ducking? Is that when you tape a ducky to your fupa and dry hump something/someone to get the squeaky sound?

Those 15 years of experience didn't do paid video game rant writer Ian Walker any good it seems.

But I'm not surprised a man who writes slop craves slop.

The rats of Mordheim looked great. Made me want to play Vermintide. Still haven't, though.

They really did. Even got some Doralingus & Associates vibes from some of these.

I think they literally replaced the game people owned prior, and removed features.

I definitely remember that they made legal language for it so if anyone made anything like DoTA out of it again, they'd own it.

Of course, the game was rejected by the community.

Edit:

...but was plagued by bugs, a lack of features and poor design choices such as the "massive" user interface. German magazine GameStar opined that the remaster was still a good game in regards to its single-player, despite it not including the promised changes and additions, but its multiplayer features were now either worse than before or non-existent.

Player response was overwhelmingly negative. On release, the game was review-bombed by users on Metacritic, temporarily becoming the lowest score ever for a Blizzard game, before being surpassed by 2022's Diablo Immortal.

Well, to put it succinctly:

 

It is at 361,826 out of 1,000,000 signatures with the remaining trickle after the initial spike nowhere near the pace needed to hit the mark before the 31st of July 2025.

I interpret the state of Ross Scott's SKG campaign like this:
It's pretty clear that democratically speaking, we do not object to companies arbitrarily removing access to purchased video games. Only a minority objects to it.

While it will stay up and get more signatures, there will ultimately be no follow-through to this campaign. The reality is that it's not politically sound, it's not built on a foundation of a real public desire for change. In other words, voters don't want it. You might, but most of your family and friends don't want it.
