Iksar's Response On The Lack Of Communication
Hearthstone's developer Dean "Iksar" Ayala has shared what's going on with the lack of communication, if the expansion will be right on time & more.
Quote from IksarOur focus has been on supporting each other and planning action for how we can make our work a better place for everyone. Something we've clearly failed at in the past.
Having any celebration is a hard sell right now. I can assure you the only hesitation we have with moving forward with things like streams or card reveals is out of the respect for our co-workers. This is an incredibly important time to reflect and make sure we chart the best path forward. There is no gag order, no legal team telling us what we can and can't say. Our focus is simply on each other right now.
All that said, we still care about our work and are still passionate about delivering a great game. It's the whole reason most of us are here in the first place. We don't have plans to delay our launch or push back further developments. We are just taking time to make sure we get this moment right.
Quote from CoraPlease understand that we're also confused and disappointed right now. This is not how anybody wanted this reveal season to go, but there are more important things that need to take priority. As for communication, there are some things that it isn't my place to say publicly.
Nowadays everyone's a racist, a sexual predator, a hater, a closed-minded mf* or they don't know if they are a boy or a girl....COME OOOON
It's not corporate you fucking moron. A lot of people just found out their bosses and people they work with are sex offenders. That's kind of a shock.
I'm sure your coworkers will have the same response when they eventually find out about you
I don't care about communication, no one cares that they tell us that they did what they did for a reason, there's a reason to everything, just reveal the cards and fix your shit internally.
Edit : downvoting me is virtue signaling, just be aware of that before you feel good about it
Edit : 5 world savers read my post so far, keep going we'll actually save the world when we reach 20 downvotes
Oh damn, I actually upvoted you, instead.
Does that mean I hate the planet?
this.
Your post is political incorrect, thats why you get downvotes, like me within the next 2 minutes. „i dont care about your problems @ Blizzard“ ? Ohhh boi you HAVE to care, otherwise your an asshole
Avengers incoming in 3,2,1,…
Yes and you're racist too ! We are horrible people !
you can hate what happened to the wimen @ Blizzard and dont care at the same time.
"I don't care that you were raped, get back in the kitchen and fix me dinner"
I hope you never breed
You can hate what happened and not care simultaneously............ Logic checks out here.
The spelling of "Women" is laden with irony when coupled with you hating what happened but not caring... next.
"Downvoting me is virtue signaling" is one of the funniest things I've read in a while.
Was tempted to upvote just for the laugh.
But naw, everyone was just complaining yesterday about how they weren't communicating, and now that they are communicating, you're still complaining.
As long as you don't hate Captain Planet
go off queen
World has now been saved apparently.
Is Superman out of a job now?
Took this long to hear something. C'mon guys. Did you go around and ask every person to type the next word after the next word? I appreciate a response finally I do, but something like "More details soon" would have been nice. Best wishes to your work environment.
With fear of sounding cheesy, i hope you can find a way to stand united in this tough time and emerge into a better world on the other side of all this. When the rot of the corporation has been burned away.
Yeah every workplace should be confortable, go tell that crap to the slave child making my clothes, but wait no one gives a fuck about that, only people outrage is when some dude is accused of something without any trial or proof.
Ah yes, a multi year investigation by the organization who is specifically designed to investigate these claims isn't proof. Right.
And when the police spend three years investigating a murder and finally catch the killer there's no proof of that either right? They just arrested him based on a gut feeling
Good, handle it the right way. Every workplace should be a comfortable place to be for everyone.
I also really care about their games, if Blizzard collapses on itself because of this, then we won't get anything from them again, so I sure hope they can settle things.
There ya go, dual opinion. Am I right? Am I wrong? Let the up/downvotes decide!
That's a great answer. I hope these words are actually followed by the actions. If it is, this may be a great moment for Blizzard team to unite together and build even greater games and communities
This, this is a professional and respectful response not like that Alex senior game designer. If this is the case then by all means do whatever it takes to make that environment the best it can be. Hopefully this is a turning point for the best 🙏
