sucks that it needs to be said but don’t let the hype trick you into preordering the new WoW expansion. withhold that money until you’re convinced blizzard is selling you a polished game, not another paid beta that takes 2-3 major patches to be worth playing.

blizzard is part of a multi-billion dollar corporate behemoth. they don’t need your preorder money to make or finish the game. preorders exist for the singular slimey purpose of convincing shareholders to give the board/CEOs/bobby even more money.

remember: just because certain features are announced doesn’t mean they’re actually gonna happen. if there’s a right time to be skeptical about blizzard releases it’s right now in 2022.
