Big B is looking shaky, all this Hatred and Outrage are headed towards the man in the driving seat, hope his resignment from Activi$ion gets announced in the upcoming 72 hours. Guys, this is actually HUGE; I can gladly deal with any card delays for such a fundamental change for Hearthstone's future. The weekly cosmetics greed and disaster modes like Mercenarys NEED to stop and soon.
The forum hates Bliz for even daring to release Mercenaries. They can see Bliz is just another evil corporation for that.
But the instant it comes time to choose between an evil business and the victims of a CEO who literally threatened to kill someone on an answering machine (that is to say, it's absolutely been proven since there was a recording!), well, folks line right back up behind the evil corporation.
Fuck everyone, fuck women, fuck people of color, fuck retaliation tactics, fuck accountability, fuck common decency, just give me my shitty digital card!
It's good to see this community is still in top form.
Get white people in there and I'll back you up, otherwise yeah, fuck yall hypocrites and gimme cards.

No one here is supporting this "evil corporation", we are just annoyed by the fact no one is boycotting Blizzard appropriately.
A bunch of hypocrites (I'm talking about some streamers, pro players, etc.) acting as if they cared by doing stupid things such as not revealing some cards don't help anyone. It's pathetic to say the least.
The worst part is some people out there probably believes these clowns are genuinely concerned about all this...
Honestly, if I had to really choose sides between this "evil corporation" (as thebitterfig loves to call Bli$$ard) and silly people acting as if they cared about others problems by doing stupid things (such as not revealing some digital cards from a video game), damn, I think I would join the Dark Side in a blink!
Sorry, but hypocrisy and stupidity combined are too much for me. Gladly, I don't have to choose. :P
I wish blizzard would pull all the cards and just do another big reveal like last time just to piss off all the entitled players who are going to be complaining about the cards/expansion anyway.

I hate that I agree with Sherman, but when you’re right, you’re right.

It isn't even the players, it's a handful of entitled pricks who make a living off of Blizzard and then pull stunts like this to score brownie points with the twitter mob. Once the expansion drops, they'll be back to feeding from the trough like the hogs they are.

It's the players. I've yet to see a ton of streamers even saying they are going to boycott. We've missed one card so far, and that card is being revealed on the 22nd. People are just jumping to conclusions about what is going on. No one in these threads personally knows these streamers and can speak to their intentions even if they did decide to boycott.

Not sure people really care that one card was missed. Its the message it sends. People are sick of that nonsense. Its a game and the devs of that game have nothing to do with the man in the spotlight. Leave them be.

The people complaining aren't complaining because they think this hurts the devs. They regularly shit on the devs all the time saying they are ruining the game or don't know what they are doing. Literally no one knows why the card wasn't revealed and is just assuming it's due to a boycott. You can say it's sending a message, but again, no one knows the reason it wasn't revealed.
The people who walked out are the same people who are putting nonbinary wizards in Warcraft and centering black and female characters in World War 2 military shooters even though there were very few black soldiers in WW2 combat roles and no women. I hope Kotick cans the lot of them. A lot of the people who are responsible for making the games good have been run out of these studios and if someone doesn't put their foot down, they'll wind up being EA when they're done hollowing themselves out with reckoning after reckoning.

Yes, if only the greedy CEO of activision who's ruined perfectly good companies, knowingly turned a blind eye to wage inequality and sexual harassment and ostracized talent can reign in the "SJW"s who are creating historically inaccurate World War 2 games (because you know war games are known for their historical accuracy) and putting nonbinary wizards in WarCraft (how does that affect anyone exactly?). Then games can be fun again.
Do you people read your posts over before you actually post anything?

If by that you mean... doing a job... and getting paid for it...
I can't even imagine where organized social activism is looked upon as a "stunt". Do you know how shitty this world would be if organized protests and job action weren't a thing?
I get both bundles, best price for cards, shiny cards and heroes and usually gets day 1 complete set with the gold from the last expansion. Now if it pisses off trolls that post straw man false equivalencies in the name of being woke, my only regret is there isn’t a third bundle.
The outrage of some people on this thread is hilarious. People are trying to take a stand against the management at a company where rape, assault and threats of murder have been normalised or swept under the carpet. The latest story massively highlights how the CEO knew everything about this and Shareholders are backing him through sheer greed. The boycotters are supporting Blizzard staff so they can feel safe at work and have a decent working environment. Yet a digital card is not revealed so the forums are up in arms calling to cancel the streamers. Imagine being on the side of the rapists and abusers. Incredible. Imagine you took the view that if this scum is out of Activision then the games could become better in future, as people feel safer and happier in their work environment. But no no immediate card stream boo hoo.
Fuck everyone, fuck women, fuck people of color, fuck retaliation tactics, fuck accountability, fuck common decency, just give me my shitty digital card!

This whole thing reminds me of the JK Rowling transphobic incident and everyone was absolutely disgusted with it, but we love harry potter so much that we're still just going to buy all the HP merchandise that comes out while feeling guilty and terrible about ourselves.

Hate to tell you, but it's been a stunt since at least the 60's in America. There are lots of groups on call to protest anything and everything given the money. It's an odd thing, but those people are as greedy and capitalist as the things they protest.
Not saying this particular case is that, but it's naïve to think it's completely altruistic or that someone isn't making a nice dollar or two off it.

Skins and mercenaries aren’t going anywhere anytime soon. Once you realize this you’ll live a happier life.

Yep. Definitely prefer this option.
