Not just for the tickets but travel, food, accomodation, value of rec leave/non-working days etc. I’m absolutely amongst the first to call gamers entitled whiny pricks. I think this is the most crucial part of this debacle. And when they show a mobile game off to their core base who paid hundreds (and maybe thousands) to be there, it is a real slap in the face. To the people saying “oh gamers are just entitled etc, they don’t owe you anything” – actually they owe their core base of gamers everything, or they wouldn’t exist as a company. The fact the devs had to clap loudly into their mics to try and make it look like the audience was more excited than it was…. When they brought the chinese devs out who spoke only chinese, I’m surprised people didn’t walk out. The look of shock on his face when they booed and his facetious response actually made my jaw drop as I watched it live. The fact they just assumed the audience who paid 200 + (not including travel/accommodation costs and who would all be predominantly PC gamers) would lap up a pay to win reskinned chinese mobile game shows how far they’ve fallen. Now they’re literally looking for the next way to get more money out of their customers (the 6 month sub with pirate mount for example). 10 years ago I would’ve bought any Blizzard game without hesitation because I knew they were a quality games company that cared about it’s consumers. When I read someone else pointing out their recent business practices in a row (the RMAH in D3, Loot Boxes, Overpriced HS cards) it’s made me realise that Blizzard is a shell of the amazing company it used to be. As someone else said somewhere, Blizzard have been riding on the good will and trust of it’s consumers for a decade now.
