WoW kid vs Blizzard lore master at Blizzcon – kid wins

kid

Kid? You rule.

There’s this dude in a red shirt that takes Blizzard lore boss Chris Metzen to task at Blizzcon over a character that’s supposed to be in Cataclysm and isn’t.

That’s it. It made us laugh. See below. Via Gaming Today.

He’s awesome, the guy’s got balls to stand up to Blizzard and criticise Blizzard’s lore.

PS if it matters the guys got autism he’s from World of Jenks

The contrast between the people who work in games and the people that play them is sometimes depressing.

Honestly, while funny, this was BlizzCon in a nutshell. Half of the panels were hyper-entitled WoW players bitching Blizzard out for not treating their respective classes like sacred relics touched by the Lord Himself.

And they weren’t politely requesting it, either. I’m talking full-on demands. In some cases, they were even making thinly veiled threats. These people acted less like Blizzard fans and more like Blizzard’s slavemaster – absolutely incredulous when Blizzard wasn’t doing exactly as they said.

I met the Internet in person, and I really didn’t like what I saw.

The internet isn’t that bad, just certain parts of it. People who are casually into Blizzard games don’t go to cons, they don’t care enough.
The show atracts obsesive fans. Gaming still isn’t mainstream enough to have a common sense, casual event for regular people. It’s hardcore only.

From now on Blizzard needs to have that kid do all their voiceovers. Epic.

I was expecting it to be uncomfortable watching, but it seemed to be handled fairly well. Kid was polite and the Blizzard guys admitted they made a mistake.

admittedly i agree with the people above that obsessive weirdos are pretty much always just about the worst thing of any medium; not just games

*shakes head at anime fans*

@21 Anime fans commenting on game versions of their favourites are fucking scary.

I am sure Metzen is getting more women than this kid can imagine. He doesn’t need to worry about if a kid knows his lore more than him, he has multiple writers for that.
