For those who don't know, PoodleCorp has DDOS'd Blizzard servers twice and ransomed the servers for 2000 and 3000 retweets respectively. They are a notorious hacker group for hacking into big youtube channels and prominent gaming servers. They have just realized a threat to DDOS the upcoming Battlefield game. Just want to inform you guys as much as I can because people seem to be stuck in the nostalgia trip. | ||

It's highly unlikely they'll stop due to a name change of the service like "Shit, Battle.net is gone, where did it go?! What the fuck are we gonna DDOS now?!?!". | ||

Battle.net is a strong brand, there's no reason to abandon it for a new brand. | ||

Is "Blizzard Voice" a new brand? They're subsets of the Blizzard brand. The "Battle.net Desktop Agent" is now called the "Blizzard Launcher", and that's a prime example of how things will change moving forward. It's not the "Blizzard Tech Launcher" or anything like that. It's actually extremely straightforward and people are overthinking it. It's consumer confusion. | ||

Edit: Also in this iteration it doesn't seem to support the titles deemed as Classic on the Battle.net website (Starcraft 1, Diablo 2, WC3) so maybe that will change along with this. | ||

Battle.Net is a name with such a depth and prominence, built since Diablo 2 was released. Battle.Net stands for countless hours of grinding but also for the highest peaks of e-sports. While admittedly slightly confusing in these days, Battle.Net has such recognition and reputation, I would not let this name go. | ||

Battle.net is a very strong and recognisable brand across the PC gaming community. It may have made sense back when RealID and the early launch of Wings of Liberty were tainting the brand that Battle.net 2.0 was built upon, but Battle.net 2.0 is almost as strong as its pre-WoW predecessor and we put the controversy that always-online DRM in Diablo III and the lack of LAN support in SC2 generated behind us long ago. | ||
