>Ion said BFA failed cause writing faction conflict was difficult
>Hazzikostas described how players’ feedback around Battle for Azeroth led Blizzard to question how hard it should lean into faction conflict, “I think it’s something we’ve heard from players, where [the factions] have been working together to overcome a big bad, whether it’s The Lich King, or Deathwing, or whatever — after so many times it starts to feel implausible. ‘Okay, we’re back at each other’s throats again.’ When I was game director for Battle For Azeroth, I was excited, as part of my creative vision at the time, to really lean into faction warfare. But a shocking number of players coming out of Legion were like, ‘Why are we fighting again? It doesn’t make sense.’ I think we want to carve out a world where there is still room for those conflicts. We recognize that there are those who are like, they will never forgive, never forget. They should feel represented in the world, too. We want to tell a wide range of stories.”
Sounds like a lot of cope.
