@CatholicSat Pope Leo CIV and the Vatican have lost sight of their faith and adhere to pressures from external agencies. The Pope lost his authority to excommunicate anyone when they turn their back on God and into the arms of the left.
We stand with SSPX!!!

@JustBins @IfindRetards lots of potential here.

@SwipeWright I've never seen any better representation of my adulthood and politics.

@JustBins I'm just gonna say, the teachers involved should've been able to trust the info the Globe Theater gave them. I feel like both Campbell Collegiant organizers and MLTAKINS didn't sign up for a minors to be sexually assaulted.

STAND UP TO PROTECT #Veterans

OUTRAGEOUS! -- By cancelling the right of first refusal for Federal security contracts to Commissionaires Canada

Mark Carney is CUTTING OUT Canadian veterans in favour of private security firms, which are made up of 30–50% recent immigrants to Canada.

@Oceanbreeze473 It kind of pisses me off that it's Donald Trump.

@turtlewowteam While I have not personally played, I found the concept of your custom fan-made contributions to be quite compelling. Hope that some will be recruited by Blizzard, integrating these concepts into the official version of the game.

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.

It's okay to take off the mask.

Strength and vulnerability are not mutually exclusive.

June is Men's Mental Health Awareness Month. We'd like to encourage you to reach out to your friends; ask them how they're doing. Pick up a game together. Look out for one another.

You matter 💙

[Night @Night_ED]

@Rainbow6Game Thank you for acknowledging men's mental health.

[Night @Night_ED]

@SaltyGirl09 Okay, I'm okay with that. 👊

[Night @Night_ED]

@truckdriverpleb I visited Rona yesterday to buy a dozen nuts and bolts, and each piece was packaged in its own little plastic bag. Meanwhile, I had a drink in a plastic cup with a plastic lid and a paper straw. If we're going to regulate plastic usage, can we at least apply some common sense?

[Night @Night_ED]

@elonmusk I have SuperGrok, and I absolutely love it. However, its inability to select a previous conversation and transition over to Ara and continue is seriously broken. Despite it giving you advice on how to do it, nothing works. I'm looking forward to this fix. Along with others.

@pnwguerrilla I remember every single one and think back on them more than I probably should. They're definitely feel good moments. Just the other day, a female coworker said that color looks really good on me. I secretly melted, trying to maintain a manly composure.
