Serious? You genuinely hope that, because Blizzard included a reference to a totally innocous disease last November, that they should be sued now for... what? Lack of clairvoyance?Cid SilverWing said:
And who would do the suing anyway? The swines?
Think before you speak man, reserve the right to be offended by all means but for god's sake, don't spout inane bollocks like that again.
PS. If it turns out you're just joking then I take everything back and wish you good day
You may just be my new best friend.MarsProbe said:
Seriously, I mean, like, wow. Yes, World of Warcraft puts a joke in their game, then a few people in Mexico die from it months later, and Blizzard should feel bad? Yeah, uhh, I hope Blizzard keeps this in. If they don't, then the freedom of designers everywhere is in some serious trouble...
can someone tell me why people are taking this soo far?ZeroMachine said:
it's was put in there to parody something that has been a very little worry in players minds.
if thats the case they should remove swords, hundreds of millions died from that. how about bow & arrows?, maybe Guns hmmm..........?
i'm amazed that people dont know when to draw the line at seriousness.
I've heard maybe 2 people have died outside of Mexico from the disease, and only about 13 people TOTAL have died so far. Most of them poor Mexicans from Mexico who didn't seek treatment soon enough. Some of them were also very young children, like infants. And they can die from a cold, so yeah, this isn't exactly "pandemic" stuff.SenseOfTumour said:
I mean, it's not cool when anyone dies, but this whole thing has been blown WAY out of proportion. Best to ignore the situation until it either becomes an actual problem or goes away.
Has Blizzard gone a little too far?
Yes, but not in relation to the Swine Flu de-buff.
It's not insensitive, they didn't go put this in after the Swine flu became a big deal.
The thought of an irate mob of rabid Blizzard fans stops me from expanding on where /how they went too far.
I hope that you're happy overactive imagination.

It's a little insensitive. Not anywhere at all near the point where I would be offended mind you. Only a little insensitive in the sense that I'd look twice and think 'hmm bit wierd'. Not anything earth-shatterring though.
You know he got disbarred, right?conceptual said:
On topic: I think this is a case of life imitating art imitating life. There's no malice involved here, so no need to get out collective panties in a knot about this.
Does anyone actually READ articles or posts? Blizzard put it in-game before any epidemics broke out! This whole thing is a coincidence. Yeah maybe they should quickly rename it in the name of sensitivity, but don't go waving pitchforks and torches at someone for something so stupid. Why does this topic even exist? It's someone who neglected to research properly getting the 'hurrump' over nothing, once again.
