Yes, of course, it was. In the Blizzard way. Here is the tweet of Swen Vincke:
"Flying back home after a very intensive 3 week reveal trip. Tired but super motivated by the fantastic reception and words of encouragement. Thank you everyone who reached out to us - we’re very lucky to have such a positive community. It’s very inspiring".
So, basically, "we did everything fine and perfect. I know forums, comments on reddit, facebook and twitter are basically a fight due the huge wave of dissapointment but they are wrong, cuase they dont think like me and my supporters. There is no need to communicate anything to those people, cause they are wrrong, and I am right".
Man this really bums me out, I hope it's just some PR /marketing spin. I appreciate that a lot of people like what they saw, but I think a significant number didn't. Don't take up a seriously loved franchise & then just ignore a large chunk of the fan base, specially from a studio that places such importance on listening and responding the fans.
One thing they have 100% achieved so far is polarising the community across the board. There's not a single group or forum I am in where people aren't tearing chunks from one another over this (..maybe I'm in the groups/fora..).
