Please be advised:
We will be closing this General thread in 24 hours. It will remain searchable.
After that we will require new threads to discuss topics.
Questions should go in the stickied Q&A thread, screenshots and PotG will go in the PotG sticky, QQ/Rage/Complaints should go in the QQ/Rage thread. If you want to talk about maps or strategies open a new thread.
Any comments or concerns will be logged please forward them to ZeromuS. This new forum is still fluid so we will try this out. General TL rules will still apply to new threads. |
Nony is right. The pose is cringe worthy honestly and I was never a fan of it to begin with, but the way Kaplan words it just got everyone triggered. But this will blow over eventually.

I just think there was nothing wrong with the pose. Besides, I don't need digital booty when I have real booty. Lets be real, Blizzard has zero concerns about losing any reasonable number of sale over the removal of the digital booty. People care just enough to post online about how it’s removal ruins the game for them and that is it. They could have kept it and I doubt much would change either, but they wanted to change it. Much to do about nothing.
Still, I find it silly that people would cancel their preorders because they can't get 2-3 seconds of digital booty. Even less digital booty because you'd have to get play of the game in order to even see it. Or did they change it so you see poses in stuff other then the start of play of the game?

Its the victory pose at the end of a match from what i have seen. I don't know if appears anyplace else.

Hero highlights is different than victory pose. Victory pose is when your team wins. Hero highlights is when you get play of the game over the other 11 players.

It's not about seeing the booty, it's about a vocal minority telling everybody else what they can and can't see or have as a cosmetic option.
The majority standing up and saying "no, that's not what we wanted" is not only expected but fine. I would expect nothing less from a playerbase of my own game.
--
There were two occasions with WoW recently where blizzard did something and there was a huge outrage because around 65-95% of the community did not want the change, so they apologised for the bad change and rolled it back.
The first one (95% against) was way more obvious and took a matter of hours to days; the second one was months with continued discussion and an eventual compromise.

You assume that it is the minority. Or that it if a minority matters. You don’t own the creative process for Overwatch and just because you can find a bunch of like minded people don’t change that fact. Blizzard can listen to whoever they want and it doesn’t have to be the largest number of people.

And the people who Blizzard ignore can continue talking. You really don't add anything to the discussion by replying to every single post with 'Blizzard can do whatever they want' or words to that effect.

I know that it's a minority because the poll in the official discussion thread had 93% of over 4000 people voting the other way.
Blizzard can listen to whoever they want and it doesn’t have to be the largest number of people.
They can, but it's not in their best interest to. They have demonstrated that they believe and understand this time and time again.

Blizzards lowest selling games sell 4 million copies. Their highest move around 30 million. That doesn’t count WoW either, that is just boxed games 4000 people in an online pool is nothing. And the number in that group with will not buy the game due to this change is likely less than 1% of that 4000.
Those 4000 people only represent the people willing to take that poll. Nothing more.
Also this, which shows that online polls are worthless in almost every way.

It's a poll on the official thread asking for feedback from every angle on the matter, you can't do much better than that and you also cannot ignore every single indication because it's not perfect evidence.

Is there a poll where I can petition the hideous Hero skins? Serious question guys.

Next thing you will tell me is that steam and yelp reviews are 100% accurate all the time.

Oh god I love the Internet...people having opinons and arguments about insignificant s**t to prove their point... But in the end all the pages of inults and whining really proof, is that it's a huge pile of nonsense about nothing! Nothing at all!
Everthing is racist, sexist, misogynist, or even facist these days.
Remember the times when you could just tell a joke for the sake of a joke and nobody got offended?!
When did we become a society of cry babies....I better stop, before I offen....arrhhHHHhhh!!!!

You have evidence of 4000 people taking a pool that is, in no way, reflective of the entire Blizzard community or potential buyers of Overwatch. That is it. The evidence that exists is useless.

Those never existed. The argument we are currently has been going on forever in different forms. When people told offensive jokes, its just that you were not aware of the people who took offense. The internet made you aware they existed, so now everyone is mad forever. Also social media exists, which speeds up the process and reduces everything to a "hot take". That part does not help.

It's the sample of people in the discussion thread; best anyone can do. It's about to hit 6000 forum-goers by now

It's not about it being less-than-perfect evidence, it's about it being incredibly flawed evidence. You've got layers upon layers of self-selection occurring on top of the fact that are far more people read forums than post/respond in them.
Moreover you've got internet personalities like TotalBiscuit weighing in, and it's silly to think that's not going to break the poll. On top of that few people on the original poster's side are going to care because they're already getting what they want.
You fundamentally cannot cite that poll of indicative of anything other than that there are people who are incensed about the pose's removal.
