Article: Blizzard is not a single, omnipresent entity, part 1

[tomboliant]

Well, people who say 'Fu BLizZ' etc... Could be refering to everyone in the company under the Blizzard name and probably don't think of Blizzard as a signle entity.

I understand where you are coming from though, this is just another outlook.

It shouldn't be hard to interpret what I said. I didn't mean people literally believe Blizzard is a single guy working in the basement. People who refer to everyone in the company without making this kind of distinction are seeing the company as a single entity nevertheless, and that's the notion I made fun of. That's my point, exactly, there's no other outlook.

It's understandable that people don't want to make this kind of distinction. Neural shortcuts demand that people need to make quick association in order to avoid an overload of information that needs to be processed. This is ok, and a natural part of the process. The big difference is that the complaints I'm talking about are so comical they are almost a satire of themselves.

Aye, it is funny reading some of the complaints on forums made by some people.
