    Don't forget they do regularly have mass lay-offs while posting record profits often on the same day

    Couldn't find a meme for that.

    But yeah just listing all their faults could take awhile.

    I do feel really badly for Wyatt Cheng in that scenario. He was previously one of the "heroes" that managed to salvage D3 into something really fun and playable, but then he got thrown to the wolves in that awkward, uncomfortable presentation and now all he's known for is that off-the-cuff gaffe.

    Well since Blizzard couldn’t run a bath let alone eSports - which I hate with a burning passion but whatever - I’d like to think these guys had the foresight to update their CV’s and put feelers out for new employment. And regardless I hope they get a new job quickly.
