No, I don't like what he said, or what it means for the future, but I like how he handled everything.
Too often are we met with the representative that dodges and flours each question. They avoid the controversial questions and are afraid to throw a curveball.
I'd rather get a straight answer, and I appreciate it when he does provide them. I'm sure hes not THE one to blame for the changes but people continue to make image macros of him and associating him with the devil. How does that make sense?
Other PRs are afraid to answer truthfully because.... well, we can't handle the truth. I appreciate Pearce's attitude.
That being said, I still think he's totally oblivious towards the SC2 community subculture.

I don't find Battle.net (and how "compelling" it is) and Achievements a sufficient answer as to why there's no LAN.

I agree. I'm glad he was upfront in his interview, now I know that my decision not to preorder SC2 was a good one. Thanks Frank!

If someone serves you shit on a plate, I really don't care if they call it strawberries or tell me that it's shit.
It's still shit and hes serving it.

All the cool kids shoot the messenger.
But yeah, I pretty well agree with you for the most part. To my understanding, he's somebody really important over at blizzard (founder or something?) so he would almost certainly have some pull. But at the same time I doubt he's deeply involved in these things and/or is unaware of the true opinions of the community.

Just because he did the interview doesn't mean he's a messenger. He's the lead behind it, he's certainly not just a community messenger.

I understand if you'd rather have Dustin Browder answer your interviews and be kept going in a mindless loop of 'maybes and perhaps and eventuallys' until release date.
Who knows how long this has been planned for? I'd rather be told this from the start than to realize right at the end they have been playing us.

Hitler was also very straight forward regarding the jews. Do you like him as well?
|
His honesty is appreciated, I get that from your OP, and agree. But my "shit metaphor" is still quite valid of a response.

hahahahahaha
what a terrible analogy.

If it weren't for his comments, people would still be hopeful that b.net 2.0 will be fabulous on release, with all the features they wanted.
Of course, his comments are so shocking that it's possible he's clueless to what the development team is really doing.
Basically if he's telling the truth, well that really sucks.
If he's just stupid, well that sucks but not as much.

Keep going with the nazi analogies. That'll get you really far on the debate team.

They didnt tell us from the start, they left it until the end.

do you realy want chat channel ?
seriously he should have say that after sc2 was out not before
|
I don't dislike frank pearce, he's clearly not the guy deciding all this. He gave straight answers and I respect that. However the blizzard philosophy for bnet 2.0 has to change,
