is this a new form of promotion?

This is pathetic. Why bother going all detective over inconsequential shit like this.
smh
Until they become the next to sell out. It'll happen eventually. The pattern has repeated itself more times than you can fathom.
For the people saying this isn't newsworthy, how about you go read one of the other several thousand GAF threads instead of patting your own backs in here?
There are tons of reasons why this is a story worth discussing, and while certain fans will always take it a little too personally, if you can't see why this is something being talked about, then maybe reassess what you're doing on a gaming forum? Especially one so invested in talking about developers as often as we do here.

On a serious note, to those saying why we give a fuck what they are saying: We are paying hard earned money to support products we love. In return, we expect the same level of positivity and love. If we, the consumer, criticize any aspect of the game, we do it cause we have invested time, money and emotions into it. You expects the developers to appreciate our point of view; whether it can be implemented or not is a complete different story but the fact is that all I personally care about is appreciation for our passion.
When you have assholes like these who are straight up laughing and saying fuck you, do you really feel confident in something you paid for without hesitation?!
Some of you are too soft for this shit and are afraid to voice constructive criticism. Let them know that whether they agree or disagree, their attitude towards the community will be greatly reflected on current and future projects.
My favorite thing about this whole mess is how reasonable the original interview that supposedly caused offence was. HEY WE'RE BLIZZARD SOMEBODY SAID WORDS ABOUT US LETS THROW A TEMPER TANTRUM LIKE CHILDREN. And then people pointed that out. MORE TANTRUMS.
That facebook comment sounds more arrogant then insulting.
Just watching how WoW has developed over the years, and not just its general direction, but how they've responded to feedback, how they've changed game systems, as well as watching how they've handled Diablo 3, I've gotten a general feeling that many of the higher-ups there have developed very fragile and very bloated egos.

But they're Polish. This is a curve-ball, and they very well could dodge the ego/sell-out traps. Only time will tell, but cultural differences do factor in on some level.
Doesn't matter. It is the negativity about it all which is easy to see. What makes it worse is that the guy works at Blizzard so, despite what people may or may not suggest, his opinion will likely be thought of as the same as Blizzard's opinion. Many in this thread have already construed it to be so.

Oh so true. Cd Projekt are now the PC Gods
Didn't they troll their whole user base on GoG pretending it was shutting down just to desperately get some publicity?
Are all Blizzard employees so clueless when it comes to the internet and what people are capable of online?
I hope everyone thats involved in this shit gets fired.

Actually I am not afraid to voice constructive criticism but I can't blame them at all for saying what they said and I believe that alot of what is said would have been said privately before but since it's on Facebook, it's public. There are certainly valid criticisms toward Blizzard and Diablo 3 but there's just as much criticism that is bullshit and really shows the lowest pits of the internet on almost every forum.On a serious note, to those saying why we give a fuck what they are saying: We are paying hard earned money to support products we love.

Having opinions isn't the same as having freedom from those opinions being scrutinized. Especially if they're voiced freely into the ether.Should people who work for video game companies not be allowed to have opinions?

I know Jay personally. Worked with him for years. He's a cool dude, rightfully proud of his work and hella smart...who said something publicly he probably shouldn't have. It doesn't taint my view of him. Doesn't mean he can't be criticized for it, though. That's how it works.

Criticism is not the same as being fired.
You can bitch about him on message boards, I guess, firing him seems absurd.
Should they be allowed to voice any opinion they have in any manner they choose?
