I never said it was to make the game better, only that it probably won't which is what's most relevant to me.
I don't really have sympathy for people working for blizzard.
So you just go and post an off-topic rant, because you feel like those people, whose vast majority works to feed their family, do not deserve to have better working conditions?
Do you even realize how narcissistic you sound like?
Looking at your comment history I'm not really surprised, all you contributions looks like similar to this thread, but I'd like to give you a chance before banning you to keep this community turning toxic because of people like you.
Lol, what? If they want better working conditions, they can work somewhere other than Activision Blizzard, one of the scummiest companies in the world that's actively contributing to tarnishing the integrity of the medium.
Also, I literally said "Cool" in response to them unionizing, so you're just straight up lying when you say "you feel like those people, whose vast majority works to feed their family, do not deserve to have better working conditions"
I even clarified by saying what I prioritize.
It's sad watching you get this mad at me because I said I don't like a game and then threaten to abuse your power to ban me.
Seek help.
The real toxicity is from the people responding to me like you lying, calling me a narcissist, and threatening to ban me just to support the dogpile.
Sound like someone who never had any difficulty to find work (or do not work at all). Many worker do not have the possibility to easily change work, either because of the lack of similar companies in the vicinity, added to various reason for not being able to easily move home (kids, mortgages, among other). And even when they can, changing company is a jump into the unknown. It can be better, on the start of an even worse nightmare. At least in a company they already know, they have contacts, friends, and now, an union to protect them.
You are right, I'm caricaturing it a bit. The problem is that you immediately rant about it not going your way. If you'd really want to congratulate them for that, you wouldn't immediately go on a rant about yourself immediately. Let's get another example. Would you say to a friend announcing getting engaged "Cool, but I still can't get laid"? No you wouldn't, only a narcissist would.
That a bit the problem. You prioritize yourself, in a context that has no reason to. We are talking about the employees, not you. Either talk about the topic of the thread, even if you are against it, but don't drag it to yourself at every occasion.
If I'm that much into banning everyone, I would have done it without giving you a chance of arguing back. The people I banned indefinitely are all spambots or bad faith trolls. Other than that I usually give 3-7 days bans when things go too far, to give people time to self-reflect and join us again on a later date. Considering how well your comments were received by the community, I doubt the community will miss you while your enjoy your alone time.
I see we don't have the same definition of toxicity. If you consider that warning you to take a bit of time to self-reflect as toxicity, then you probably don't have your place in this community.
You said it's not going to make the game better, so is the implication not that it's supposed to make the game better somehow?
Sigh, more censorship.
Gonna need better communities without the mod abuse soon.
