Creating content intended for enjoyment solely by content creators seems extremely wrong-headed to me.

In fact, I think it's one of the big reasons everyone is so sick of Blizzard: They spend so much time kissing the asses of their influencers and so little time improving their games for actual subscribers.

Not sure why you're canceling her gender; she's always been a "she," even before they named the infamous Holly Windstalker after her.

But yes, same Holly. She oversaw some of the most aggressive, most obnoxious microtransactions ever to blight the games of EQ and EQ2. To be fair, that's what you have to do to keep a free-to-play game alive (and it's why they generally suck).

However, it's the complete opposite of what you should be doing for a sub game. I hope she has figured that out in her short time at Blizzard.

Are you trying to troll me? That's some Jerry level shit right there.

Whether her or their she seems to have a lot to answer for. Being the face of a studio is never going to be a rose garden though, anything but!
