Regardless, it's not even really the state of california's law suit that's causing them to fail (Though that is now helping to contribute to peoples opinions and helping it along) so much as the WoW game and their self contradicting and retconning lore. I mean... Here's just one example of them retconning lore for their current story: Frostmourne. The Mournblade was, according to the dreadlord who spoke to Arthas, forged by the Lich King. Later that was retconned, and it was stated that the mournblade was forged by the Burning Legion. Finally, in current content, it's stated that the Runecarver(One of the Eternal Ones) is the original one to have forged it and the Helm of Domination... The lore is being wound into a lovecraftian horror style loopty loop, and then further twisted into a fucked up slinky so bad that it's laughable. They have no idea what they're doing.

Laser focused and cuts like nothing else "oh shit" tells everything. Pure gold. Epic.

The Blizzcon 2014 “Oh Shit” gets me every time

I hope a gaming company hired this guy.

[@zaurenstoates7306]

Every big budget production needs one of these guys

[@reconnaissance7372]

I love how everyone shows love to this guy, even know he has the social skills of a Tea spoon.

[@sercastamere9853]

He's very polite and has good manners, just perhaps not the most charming individual

[@multiestonian]

Its not that, he got confused by hearing his voice on the speakers while he was speaking. When you watch an interview with him, he talks normally and explains why he sounded weird.

This guy is an introvert and also has asperger syndrome. If you consider that, he did very well. He was watched by a large live audience and cameras also pointed at him, ofc you get nervous ... it's not like he was just talking to 2 or 3 people.

[@AnEsotericObscureNerd]

He earned the respect of his peers because he wasn't afraid to ask the tough questions and clearly loves and knows the game/universe.
