If feel Blizzard got enough on it's plate, as is. Blizzcon would just be needless junk-food spoiling the meal. With a lot to work on, I'm glad to see that they're taking some time to get their priorities straight.

They see the competition & it's not something to snub their noses at. I just hope the time & resources they use on their titles will live up to, or better yet, exceed the expectations of their fans.

We can only wait and see the end result of Blizzard's decision & if it'll payoff...

@capper187 i agree with you in that all we can do is wait and see if it pays off for them, for better or for worse =)

I know this isn't related to this video however Sambonz what do you think the Pandaren mount will be, I personally think it will either be a Yak or a Rickshaw, Thanks alot.

[sambonz]

@Greejal good question! i hadn't thought of that - a rickshaw would be cool =)

I thought it wasn't time for the quarterly update until Feb...Guess the sub loss is still on a downward trend. This is a major stab in back to fans tbh - they make billions...no excuse for this... Their statement is complete BS...

[sambonz]

@HwarangXia i have to agree that the official statement clearly seems like some PR and nothing more. i'm betting that it's Activision driving this change - aka the evil Bobby Kotick *shudder

[sambonz]

@LaughterRift aw what! not any more =(

BLIZZARD Y U NO BLIZZCON?!

No blizzcon is a horrible move, blizzcon helped really make blizzard such a beloved company.

No Blizzcon? But what will all the cosplayers do?

Blizzard is losing money or not making as much as they once was. So this is a means to making back some of that money. I dont go to Blizzcom but my and my family rent Blizzcom, It has become a yearly gathering for us all. I believe this is a slap in the face to the fans. Why cause there working on there 3 games they own, 1 that is not even released yet and 2 that already is. Also 2 other secret games one with the name Project Titan. Why to spit on the fans Blizz.
