Goddamned Blizzard, other people know your source material better than you guys do. I mean, is there anything more shameful than that?
Hold on, son.

A mere oversight isn't a huge deal. Calm down.

The Warcraft lore can cover multiple books, man.
There's hundreds of characters to keep track of, and an oversight or two really isn't a big deal.
In fact, it's expected.

What would be shameful is making up excuses to brush the whole thing aside. They didn't.
They admitted they had made a mistake and even promised to fix it.
That's the exact opposite of 'shameful'.

I'm surprised the Devs didn't just say "He was killed by Gnomes" or something to cover their asses. Like how Games Workshop just washed over the removal of an entire race from 40K, and eventually just said "The Tyranids ate them all".

I miss Squats
The Tyranids ate a few more as well. They do their job well.

I bet at some point someone asked him "Dude, why do you know all this crap. You're never going to use it."

Afterwards:

"So, dude, you gonna call it in when you get back to your room?"
"Nah. I'm gonna have sex with a girl, like that kid never will."

Yes indeed imagine if he oh I don't know he used it to study something that might be of use to man.
