Design philosophy and even things as small as release cadence matter. Deadlines are not as important, usually, as getting it right, but especially with something that is supposed to evoke the nostalgia and design philosophy of 2004.

I’m not in the beta, but I am cautiously optimistic about WoW: Forever (very cautiously). There are more than a few reasons for the caution, but here’s a summary of one:

The pace of releases is already overwhelming, just like on Retail IMO.

Well, I may be at work until 7 tonight, but that sounds better to me than waiting in front of my PC for a beta to go live.
Not that I’ve paid for that privilege but there are other options. Not that I’m very lucky with those kinds of things.

Having serious reservations about WoW Forever despite seeing some good things too.
Incentivizing Alts so heavily and the breakneck content release schedule really threaten the exploration and social aspects IMO. So far it feels more like Retail than I’m really comfortable with.

Managed to watch Blizzcon opening ceremonies after work last night. Now that I’ve slept on it (and back at work for another 12 hours), I realize few Blizzcon openers have had that much new stuff to show. Some of it is a long ways out, but the promise is there. Time will tell! Cautiously optimistic!

Well I am stuck at work until 7pm tonight so I have to decide if I’m going to hide from all the Blizzcon news until I got home and then catch the VOD’s for the hype, or try to piece it all together from posts on socials.
Is this what they call “meaningful choices”??

That’s less than $25 CAD for everything: Survival, Tales DLC, and WINTERMUTE story mode. And still less than $30 if you include the atmospheric sound track!
Can’t stress enough how great (and unique) a game it is!
Can’t stress enough how great (and unique) a game it is!
The Long Dark is currently 66% off on Steam, so I'll re-up my recommendation of it as a truly unique experience. No other game gives you the feeling of being alone in the Canadian wilderness, with the elements as your greatest foe. It's incredibly immersive, atmospheric and offers tons of depth.

Transitioning from Retail (Midnight/Last Titan) into some kind of WoW2 would be the single biggest brand fail since Twitter got renamed, and akin to “New Coke” in its failure to understand the MMO market.

Had one of *those* dreams last night. You know, the ones that you are convinced really happened even after waking up. Dreamed that my non-Hardcore Hunter died and somehow still got deleted. He's like level 12 so it's silly, but for a few minutes I was still all sad about it!
