J. Allen Brack's Unrepentant Bullshit (The Jimquisition)
Added 2020-02-17 14:38:22 +0000 UTCBlizzard Entertainment President J. Allen Brack is a man who knows he doesn't have to apologize, and that's why he's never done it.
Sure, you may feel like you've heard him apologize, and he may even say sorry. He doesn't actually apologize though, and after several issues with Blizzard and its behavior, the hallmarks of the Brack Apology - the Brackology - have become clear.
His routine is transparent, but it never needs to be anything else, because he knows full well he doesn't have to apologize. Not for Blitzchung, not for Warcraft 3: Reforged, not even for how Blizzard damaged the careers of an entire league of pro Heroes of the Storm players.
The Brackology is never sorry, but it is always insulting.

Brack used to be such a cool guy. Saw him on BlizzCons years ago. He was really just ''one of the guys'' passionately working on his hobby. Now he's just an Activision sock puppet. He's one of the last OGs left. Everyone else jumped ship or were pushed off the plank.

2020-02-18 00:17:57 +0000 UTCThe fact that the Forbes headline reads: "Warcraft Reforged's Worst Ever User Rating Shows the Problem With User Reviews" kind of makes me want to collectively slap Forbes upside the head. Yes, Forbes... It's the user reviews that are the problem that requires redress. Must think of the poor, innocent publishers.
