This was a pretty standard corporate PR tactic.
* make deleting accounts hard due to "technical difficulties"
* Wait until late Friday night to put out a press release, so publications are less likely to pick it up.
* Have the release contain a meaningless non-apology
* wait for a bit until everyone moves on to the next thing
The outcry was largely contained to a small Reddit and hardcore fan bubble.
The stock didn't suffer at all.
Blizzcon could be interesting though.
- hrktb 7y ago> The outcry was largely contained to a small Reddit and hardcore fan bubble. Didn’t they cancel all their PR marketing for Overwatch coming to the switch ? Aside from existing fan outcry, it seems to me having them quiet their PR moves while entering holiday season would be the bigger consequences. I don’t know for the small bubble, or we should at least include tech sites and youtube gaming channels in the bubble.
