Extremely proud of how these young Marines carried themselves at LA Fleet Week. 💚

Find them and recognize them. 🪙

Lady: “I can’t believe nobody here has been to war.”

Marine: “No, ma’am.”

Lady: “How can you be representing war if you haven’t seen war?”

Marine: “We are not representing war. We are representing what you can do for our country and our people.”

Lady: “You can hear my opinion, but I don’t want your opinion.”

Lady: “If you haven’t been to war, that’s why you guys are here. If you were they would’ve never brought you guys here.”

Lady 2: “When you say, ‘What can we do for our country?’ what about the homeless?”

Marines: “Have a nice day.”

Not a single raised voice.
Not a single ounce of disrespect.
Just young men and women standing in uniform, choosing discipline over anger and honor over ego.

In a world that rewards outrage, they showed restraint.

In a moment designed to provoke them, they answered with dignity.

These Marines may not have seen war yet — and we should pray they never have to — but they already understand sacrifice, service, and what it means to put something greater than themselves first.

That’s the kind of character this country is built on. 🇺🇸

Semper Fi.

I’m a simple man. I wait patiently for FireFly serenity updates. I create FireFly flybys in Blender to pass the time.

Please. For the love of God. Let FireFly / Serenity returning be real 😭

The USS Indianapolis monologue in Jaws (1975) is chilling every single time. Robert Shaw delivers it like a man remembering something he can’t ever escape, and the whole film goes dead quiet around him. One of the greatest speeches ever put on screen.

I am a senior vice president at a $68.7 billion gaming company.

Activision-Blizzard.

We have a 30-year-old franchise.

Warcraft.

Millions of players. A subscription model that prints $15 a month per user. A cash shop on top of the subscription. Paid expansions on top of the cash shop.

Our former creative director just told the press he wishes we hadn't called it "Warcraft."

He said the name sounds intimidating.

He helped create the name.

We ran focus groups. The focus groups said the brand needed to be "more approachable." We asked the focus groups if they played the game. They did not. We took their advice anyway.

Our VP told an interviewer we want players to experience "weddings, raids, and new adventures." She listed weddings first. Before raids. In a game called Warcraft. Nobody in the room flinched.

She also said "No one thinks the same about Warhammer."

She compared our franchise unfavorably to a competitor. On the record. As a defense of the franchise.

The forums are on fire. Twenty-year veterans are writing goodbye posts. One thread is titled "Think I'm done with WoW." Another calls our pre-patch a "player purge."

We called our GDKP raiders "delusional."

We timed a cash shop bundle to launch during the Trading Post anniversary -- the one event where players earn free cosmetics. We offered 200 discounted items but kept the monthly currency cap at 1,000. The math doesn't work unless you open your wallet.

The community noticed. We described their concerns as "feedback we're monitoring."

We are always monitoring. We have never once changed course because of monitoring.

The players say we're "Disneyfying" the game. Turning gritty into cute. War into weddings. Orcs into mascots.

They're not wrong.

The data says approachable properties have wider TAM. Total addressable market. That's the metric now. Not "subscribers who love the game." Not "community that built this franchise." TAM.

TAM doesn't post on forums. TAM doesn't write goodbye letters. TAM doesn't have 20 years of muscle memory and lore knowledge and raid nights that turned into real friendships.

TAM is a number in a slide deck that makes a board feel comfortable.

We added player housing. Players have asked for it since 2004. We launched it in 2026. Twenty-two years. We described this as "listening to our community."

We are very good at listening. Eventually. When the feature aligns with a monetization roadmap.

Here is what I know and cannot say in a meeting:

The name was never the problem. The name built this. The name survived server crashes and subscription drops and an activision merger and a harassment scandal and a $68.7 billion acquisition.

The name is "Warcraft" and for 30 years nobody was confused about what it meant.

The problem is not that new players find the name intimidating.

The problem is that old players are starting to find us unrecognizable.

And we don't have a focus group for that.

UPDATE from one of the soldiers shot yesterday in DC-

24 year old Andrew Wolfe is recovering from surgery. His brain is being allowed space to swell and this first 24 to 48 hours are crucial for his recovery.

Doctors have no clue about lasting effects right now. The first two weeks will be a waiting game. Right now he’s surviving and alive. His family got to see him in the ICU and he’s sedated.

His mother Melody says it feels like a nightmare and it doesn’t feel real.

Melody has asked for continued prayers for recovery, and that she appreciates all the prayers, messages, and support.

Prayer warriors and anyone on a prayer chain YOU ARE DESPERATELY NEEDED NOW! 🙏

@seamus_coughlin Yay!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations! I can't wait!
