This is hardly surprising. During the earlier years of WoW, Blizzard already reluctantly admitted that they would read external community sites (in case of WoW, primarily Elitist Jerks, which was a bit like the TL of WoW at the time) and that these had a higher signal-to-noise ratio than their own forums. They can't really maintain an active presence on these external sites or give them too much attention, otherwise the hordes of stereotyped "Battle.net forumposters" would migrate to the community sites, negatively affecting the discussions. | ||

I imagine no one will be upset with his answers but he doesn't really say anything substantial either, which is a pity. Did anyone expect otherwise? :p I'm suprised he dosn't end the internew by advocating world peace or something | ||

- They have no plan on implementing micro-transactions at the moment, - MM is Bronze Terran, - Even MM thinks the Bnet forums are trash (paraphrasing) Good read | ||

 I would have loved to hear More thoughts on a Micro transaction Free to play system for Battle.net only having to pay for the single player campaign, or something to that effect. | ||

The man just seems real to me, like he hasn't forgotten why he helped start Blizzard in the first place and he has never really lost the gamer geek side of him. That's just how he seems to me whenever I see anything done by him. I think as long as he's at the helm Blizzard is ok, my only fear is what will happen to this company after he retires or passes away, hopefully that won't happen for a long time. | ||

Agreed. Believe me when I say that I'm happy that Blizzard stays out of these forums and just lurks. Whenever they post ANYTHING in the BNET forums, the trolls, flamers, whiners and jerks come out, basically anyone looking for easy attention. They're well aware of the effect they have on their own boards, so they do their best to try and appease their own forum goers while also privately reading the community sites that have better discussion going on. | ||

James Colony, GamePlanet: The event here is being streamed free. Most SC leagues are PPV. Is free streaming you guys are really pushing for next year? What is this? The only major tournament with a ppv model is MLG, and they're getting rid of it as we speak. ....Much more social than television. Zinggg! Subtle jab, done! I also find that a lot of the questions are quite shallow and setup to be responded by the political-wordy-no-substance responses that leads to nowhere. Esports journalist needs to press on the issue they want to know and be less vague about their questions to avoid equally vague responses. Of course, not every single one of the questions are like this, but quite a big chunk of it felt that I've gained nothing from reading them. | ||
