After playing Warcraft 3 for nearly 14 years I have to say I have never been so sad and disappointed upon a games release. I can't even bring myself to be mad I'm just in utter disbelief. I am sure the developers did their best. Probably overworked with a completely understaffed team because the fat cunts at Activision wanted a bigger bonus. No dev wants to make a game only to see it get shat on relentlessly and have a rating of 1. 0 on metacritic. The staff cuts made by Activision laid off more than 200 Blizzard employees, even though Blizzard achieved a net profit of 2B that year. The staff cut probably crippled Blizzard, I mean they even cancelled the last patch of BfA probably knowing they wouldn't be able to make the deadline. At this point I'm all but certain Warcraft 3 devs and community managers are being held hostage by Activision henchman to not spill out any development info. Before I wouldn't even blink before buying a new Blizzard game as I was sure they would deliver. Reforged is the first game I have ever pre-ordered and I surely wont ever make that mistake again. Fuck Activision.

Capitalism is great when you have localised economies and small scale. For capitalism to work you need an informed populace and a competitive market. The problem today is public is being constantly misinformed through media and marketing. This makes making and informed decision far more difficult and requires more energy. With our overworked population they don't have the time to be informed on everything. On top of that because of megacorporations owning large majorities of many industries, competition is almost non-existent. These companies know otsore profitable not to compete and step on each other's toe's so they tend to keep their prices at similar levels. Now. This is all generalization and I am sure everyone can point out many specific industries markets that are thriving with high competition and low prices but I feel this is not the norm anymore. We have entered a stage where instead of making the best product for the best price they are making the worst product acceptable at the highest price possible to maximize profit. And that happens when you stop having meaningful competition. Segregate markets, break up megacorporations and put laws in place to prevent companies from getting too much a share in a market to reinstall competition and we might see capitalism function how it's supposed to again. Also an overhaul of consumer protections against false advertising is needed in america I work in marketing. I am appalled at what kind of language is allowed to be put on ads that are blatently false or misleading but perfectly legal.

All these I have kept. the young man said. "What do I still lack. Jesus answered, If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me. When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth. Then Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
