Just a daily reminder it was the same company that refused to hire Geoff for blizzcon and gsl vs the world some years for his "personality".
Also another reminder, blizzard has been back bending to china since the zotac cup days, never releasing the vods for the tournament in which Geoff was a treasure to have.
Rip Geoff.
You realize a company can have respect and even admire what someone has done for the community while at the same time acknowledging that they may not be a good fit for their brand. Also, are you implying the reason zotac cup vods werent released is to appease to China? Are we full on conspiracy now?

Really?

This is absolutely great. I've watched and followed Geoff for so long, sometimes I really can't believe he died.
Thanks Blizz for this token of respect to an absolute pillar of the community. He is indeed sorely missed.

Great stuff Blizzard, this is amazing. Hats off to Geoff

Just seeing this makes me imagine what his thoughts what have been for Blizzard now.

they waited long... likely, everybody who wanted this pack already paid for it.

Really nice gesture Blizzard, I don't think I will ever exchange my TB voice pack but I very much appreciate this. It makes you realize Blizzard is 95% living breathing people that wants to make good games for their fans and 5% of shitbags at the top ruining it, both for their employees and their fans.

I don't think that's the reason.

Strange timing on this... but nevertheless appreciated!
Geoff was such a joy to watch and listen to.

Didn't the proceeds go to his wife/a foundation after he passed away. If you did pay for the bundle before it was free at least it went towards something he would have wanted.

Very very classy. Big fan of the move.

Great stuff from Blizzard.

Rip Geoff.
Only because Geoff appreciated a good forum clapback...
Just a fair warning that elluel is the same species as Adolf Hitler, the guy who killed and tortured millions of innocent people. Take anything he says with a huge grain of salt.
RIP Geoff <3
Thanks Blizz for this memorial.
