Lock if inappropriate or if there's already too many threads about D3/Blizzard but...

This is pure A-grade drama cooked in and spit out from the depths of Hell itself.

Context for people who don't know:

David Brebik, Project Lead of Diablo 1 and Diablo 2 talks about Diablo 3: http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/com...gs-on-diablo-3

Jay Wilson, current Game Director of Diablo 3, expresses his feelings over Brevik's feelings over Diablo 3: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=487695

Which leads to one of Blizzard's Community Managers to say...

ouch............

[bigdaddygamebot]

.

[PhoReal]

This is not going to be good. For shame, guys! Sheesh.

[Wario64]

That Leroy guy sounds like a fake

[Sophia]

Why is everyone involved foolish enough to do this drama on Facebook?

[antonz]

Oh man Blizzard is just imploding.

I love how they keep attacking the guy for hellgate london and how it bombed yet the only reason the pile of shit that Diablo 3 is sold is because of that guys Diablo 2.

[Returners]

Wow.

[Ingueferroque]

God I'm so tired of the bullshit that goes with Facebook. I wish it didn't leak onto GAF.

[Cirekiller]

Is this how blizzard is planning to get people talking about D3 again?

[Gravijah]

Oh man Blizzard is just imploding..

pack it in, the company is dead.

[sprsk]

He didn't actually say Fuck you too there.

[Ninja Scooter]

Dude has lightsabers. Don't fuck with him.

[Trojita]

This is getting hilarious.

[HockeyDud]

? He's defending the product that game from his company. Maybe not in the most professional way, but at least he's not afraid to sit an a corner and allow people to bash.

[Anticitizen One]

Blizzard reached there peak with World of Warcraft. It has been all downhill since then.

[Wedge7]

This is gettin good

[Randolph Freelander]

ok.

[GregLombardi]

Again presuming the accusation in the OP's image is accurate and not faked, my jaw is on the floor.

[Kickass667]

JACK BLACK GET THE TORCH



It's about to get hot!

[Exr]

I was hoping he'd have actually said 'Fuck you'.

[antonz]

pack it in, the company is dead.

Actually the company is on the decline in a major way. WoW is shrinking at a pretty rapid pace and its unlikely that Titan will ever be a success. They wont go away for good but Blizzard is nothing but a fragment of its former self

[graywolf323]

if that's actually him then he really screwed up, more so than Jay Wilson IMO because it isn't Wilson's job to interact with the community but it is Leo's so for him to go out there and insult the community

if someone ends up getting fired from all this I think we just found the guy

[iammeiam]

? He's defending the product that game from his company. Maybe not in the most professional way, but at least he's not afraid to sit an a corner and allow people to bash.

Except he's doing it under a fake identity so... he's basically trying to both hide in a corner and play Internet Tough Guy.

[MrChocolate]

There is adult people that actually buy Lightsabers?
Holy shit....

[KillerTravis]

He didn't write it in the most professional way to say the least, but he is not wrong.

[Zaptruder]

PR Department is going to be thermonuclear on Blizzard employees in the coming months.

[itxaka]

there is a joke here with diablo 3 always online mode sucking and this guy but I can't get it.

[Ingueferroque]

He didn't write it in the most professional way to say the least, but he is not wrong.

A community manager judging the creator of Diablo?

[ShockingAlberto]

Why not just, like

not comment

on any of this shit

[Lijik]

Did everyone at Blizzard get stuck in some timewarp and replaced with their High School selves or something? Because the continued lack of professionalism from the company is astounding.

[Emitan]

? He's defending the product that game from his company. Maybe not in the most professional way, but at least he's not afraid to sit an a corner and allow people to bash.

And? This is a thread about the immature manor in which Blizzard employees have been responding to criticism.

[water_wendi]

? He's defending the product that game from his company. Maybe not in the most professional way, but at least he's not afraid to sit an a corner and allow people to bash.

lol Not a good move to insult your customers. There is entitlement in gaming but its not the gamers. Its the game developers.

[Crewnh]

I love a good PR disaster.

[MormaPope]

? He's defending the product that game from his company. Maybe not in the most professional way, but at least he's not afraid to sit an a corner and allow people to bash.

Saying fuck you to a customer/fan that criticizes the product they bought is scummy and childish, no other way to look at it.

And if that Blizzard employee feels that the product they made was indeed unique and great, why react in such a way?

[Noshino]

I fail to see how that comment could be considered as a "Fuck you"

Oh I forgot, any kind of complaint or trolling is considered a fuck you nowadays :/

[DTKT]

Actually the company is on the decline in a major way. WoW is shrinking at a pretty rapid pace and its unlikely that Titan will ever be a success. They wont go away for good but Blizzard is nothing but a fragment of its former self

Rapid pace? Give me a break. 9.1 with the inevitable bump with Mist of Pandaria is still more than anyone else.

They just sold 6.5mil copies of D3. Blizzard is not going anywhere.

[DragonSworne]

The OP would be better if the pic wasn't incomprehensible....

WTF is going on!??! What Post was Leo commenting on?!?

[Sophia]

Why not just, like not comment on any of this shit

Seriously. If there was any time to keep your mouth fucking shut, now would be the time.

[sazzy]

Again presuming the accusation in the OP's image is accurate and not faked, my jaw is on the floor.

I tried to find the OG thread on B.net forums which posted this image, but I can't find it anymore. Probably deleted, they're being pretty heavily moderated right now. Think I nipped it just it in time.

edit- nvm found it. http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/6368698187 just got bumped back up.

[KibblesBits]

I don't get what his reply was in reference to exactly?
Is there more to this story?

[Dot50Cal]

All he stated were facts?? Wheres the insult, or "Fuck you"???

[Wario64]

The OP would be better if the pic wasn't incomprehensable.... WTF is going on!??!

Read it? It's not hard to follow unless you never used Facebook (or the internet)


Anyway, I question the legitimacy of this image/facts

[AppleSmack]

Why not just, like not comment on any of this shit

This. I really don't understand why Blizzard gives a shit. They take home their pay checks every day right?

[Lost Fragment]

Douchebag FB post, but this is hardly on the level of the Jay Wilson post.

What Jay and some other Blizzard employees said was some stupid-as-all-hell middle school shit and everything, but some people here seem like they're just looking for things to be outraged about at this point.

[Fularu]

Leroy? Like "Leroy Jenkins"?

I somehow have doubts :P

[DTKT]

Why not just, like not comment on any of this shit

See, that's the way it should be. You should work in PR.

[XANDER CAGE]

But Leroy, I have met Brevik and will be meeting him again in a couple of weeks. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i funny

[Drkirby]

You know, I honestly wonder what Vivendi is going to do. They are going to be pissed when they find out about this in a few hours (They are a French Company)

[GregLombardi]

Read it? It's not hard to follow unless you never used Facebook (or the internet)

lol
