People complaining about spending money in Hearthstone clearly have never gotten anywhere near MtG. It just cost me $5 to type "MtG". There I go again.
What do you mean the "most important parameter"? Yes, going first appears to increase the win percentage of almost all decks but that doesn't mean its the most important factor in determining the deck's win percentage.
These "content creators" just use this as an opportunity to take a stand on an important issue and put at risk their financial future to do so. I wonder how many others would have the stones to do the same?
what do you mean by "becoming" unsavory, at least since the 80s being a gamer was practically a slur and while more recently there is less negativity towards the tag (because a lot more people play games) it's still not something i'll openly call myself or be proud of. there's still a fuck load of baggage if you call yourself "gamer" in todays culture.
That's true but many of the reactions to this situation aren't helping.
Down voted because it's pretty selfish of them to cancel the reveals and ruin the fun for everyone else.
Some would view it as selfish to place your wants for a card reveal over the serious allegations that were made known. But everyone can have a difference of opinion on this point.
They should follow through then and stop playing Blizzard games. There is also nothing wrong with the term "gamer". You can always find rotten apples in any group.
Only a Sith deals in absolutes. Seriously though, why must all reactions be extreme? She just said on a day that such serious allegations were made known it didn't seem like a good idea to do a whimsical, humorous card reveal video. That seems completely sensible to me. If anything I'd probably think it less sensible if she had decided to completely drop Hearthstone altogether because of allegations being made and before they had been adjudicated in court.

Allie's reasoning for not proceeding with her card reveal today was completely sensible. Frankly, some of the reactions to this whole situation and to Allie's decision here and in other forums are the reason why the term "gamer" is becoming an unsavory term.
Edit: Also, if you downvote this post have the balls to respond and state why. I won't hold my breath.
Histrionic youtubers and streamers virtue signaling for attention. Internet personalities are truly the worst, twitch and YouTube are filled with woke streamers that had no problem getting their platform from the same company. Blizz should be punished in the lawsuit, but Alliestraza can fuck right off with the “moral high ground” stance.
Yes, the real problem here is Alliestrasza. Yes, I'm sure you're right.

Let's face it. Blizzard needs to do Warcraft IV - plain and simple.

Unless they are changing the mana cost of The Demon Seed to 11 I don't think they understand what's going on.

Interesting how Spell Token Druid performs marginally better going second.

You don't seem to get it. The question is were they part of the problem.

Not clear from the reporting when this behavior took place.

Curious what folks that have left the company have to say about this? Chris Metzen, Ben Brode, Mike Morhaime....
