World of Warcraft player receives 100-year suspension for ‘interrupting in-game BLM protest’

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

Sadly, these protests are effecting game-play as large groups of players occupy popular areas in the game and block off people from getting to their locations.

Finally, the voices of the good Habbo nigras have been heard and the pool finally is closed due to AIDS!

But does World of Warcraft let you loot and burn down shops to fully recreate that Minneapolis "protest" experience?

Sounds like the Crossroads on a fun day.

That's literally what Steam is though. Once the company that made the game you bought decides to no longer exist or pull the game from the Steam Library, good luck trying to play it

It baffles me that people to this day still don't get this and that they still use Steam for their games. Either go GOG or go full Pirate Mode

Its convient to have everything in one place. Gaben has made it easier than pirating. Bi-yearly sales are nice too. Some games do allow you to launch without Steam, but its the exception rather than the rule.

GOG is nice, but its a bit of a hassle to get all your games DL'd. At least the offline installers. GOG Galaxy is nice, but linux is still shafted from it.

God damn it, I used to love WoW, and Blizzard. Oh, how the mighty have fallen indeed...

Stratholme still hasn't recovered from the last time there was protests.

So 100 year suspensions for players criticising the Hong Kong protests or what?

This reminds me of the Hong Kong "Blizzcon" controversy. Only in reverse.

100 years for what exactly?

When I play dbd later, I'll only kill black characters. Anybody playing a white character can finish gens and leave in peace.

Remember when video games were a way to escape the shittiness of reality for a few hours here and there? That was great.

The 2000s was already a pretty heavily politicized time for American culture and video games and video game culture used to be a wonderful escape from it.

Now gaming and gaming culture is one of the most politicized things.

 

[Twinkletard]

I can't believe people still play that

 

[ToroidalBoat]

There's BLM protests in games now?

It sucks how political everything has become these days. Can't people just chill and forget about politics at least sometimes?

Jesus imagine being banned in a game for something as stupid as that... Well as someone else mentioned, if you still give blizzard one cent after all they did, then it was either eventually coming or deserved.

Remember when people raided a funeral for some dude who died.
I do not believe any of them got banned. How things have changed.

This is the clip that got me into WoW in the first place
That being said, I deeply regret ever viewing this video

Unfortunately not because now political stance has become part of their identities.

I wonder how many thousands of dollars this cuck gave to blizzard before he got banned.

Private servers > Official Blizz shit.
Yeah you'll hear those stories where people met their spouse on WoW but those days are kind of over imo so you don't have much reason to play on the official servers anymore.

"Redguard Lives Matter" event in Elder Scrolls Online when?

So, does this mean they'll allow a Hong Kong protest?

WoW is worse than fentanyl.

It was never good.

I was seriously thinking of going back to WoW Vanilla during the start of the shutdown, what better way to enjoy no work than WoW right? Then I remembered how tedious the game was and went back to good games.

WoW was really just a great virtual chatroom with a bad but addictive game attached to it.
