Why was this thing so cult-like?Every presented had to express how great it was to work for Blizzard, how their lives had led up to this, how they loved their co-workers, etc.What's going on at Blizzard?
a large company thats completely soulless?!say it aint so
They've been doing this for years.They want to be the Disney of videogames, complete with the cult vibe
>>747585510Blizzard and its fanbase are a cult on the level of Disney adults.Most Blizzard fans will play ONLY Blizzard games. And if it's a game type or a game with a feature that hasn't been in a Blizzard game before, they'll believe it was invented by Blizzard and praise them for the innovation. Blizzard fans will raise their children to only play Blizzard games. Blizzard fans will cast you out the moment you are critical of Blizzard's decisions.
Brand cultists are the only audience they have left.
They’re trying to claw back their reputation after they bullied that employee into suicide
>>747585707Nintendo is the Disney of video games already
>>747585510>"please clap" every 30 seconds>audience still barely excitedThis shit has been hilarious
>2030>2029I couldn't stop laughing holy shit
>>747585991When the starcraft shooter teaser had ended and the screen showed "2030" I was convinced that it would start to tick down; "2030... 2029... 2028... 2027!!!", while the audience would cheer louder and louder.But then it just ended and it turned out they showed a teaser for a game that might be out in four years. What's the fucking point?
>>747585510Forced positivity, the consequence of HR taking over the company.
>>747585510have never watched one of these gamer shows?? they're all the same.>Why was this thing so cult-like?just wait until december.
>>747585510Easier to sell to a cult
>>747585510Wasnt there a ted talk of game devs that said something like, turn your customers into followers and ur products into obessions or something? That's probably it.
>>747586721I have but this one just seemed excessive.
>>747585510because people can't get over Blizzard being moderately good once 20 years ago
I've never played WoW.What was this WoW: Forever stuff? Is it just a rebranding? Is it new content for WoW?
The way they repeated "I love you" multiple times, was fucking creepy.
>>747588937it's Blizzard admitting 20 years of game development flopped.
