World of Warcraft developer fired for dialogue about corporate greed

World of Warcraft is a world full of interesting characters that you can often have very funny conversations with. One of the funny conversations was supposed to lead to the dismissal of one of the developers. And what was the subject of the dialogue? According to the victim, I will fire the game designer and screenwriter Eric Covington it was supposed to be directed at corporate greed, which can be a fairly common theme among goblins.

However, this is not exactly fertile ground for Blizzard. Covington commented on the whole situation around his dismissal from the development of World of Warcraft in a nutshell:I’ve been writing jokes poking fun at general corporate greed for a Venture Company mining goblin. But management figured it out while I was concentrating on finishing the patch. Because of their embarrassment, I’m no longer at Blizzard.To some extent, evidence that this factor was the reason for the dismissal is a series of documents focused specifically on interviews with the goblin, showing the state when Covington was still working at the company, as well as the version after he was fired.

Some users admire Eric and are surprised that he lasted so long in the development of World of Warcraft, because the pressure on the creator from Blizzard must be really great. The biggest disappointment for Covington was that he was left without the next bonuses. In addition, he considered himself an employee with a great passion for work and play, which led him to remark that the community should not be unpleasant to the creators themselves, but to those at the top who clearly determine the direction and eliminate the creativity of the face.
