Players have to navigate this, too, when deciding whether or not they want to buy a title that comes from Activision Blizzard. The video game industry has no clear answer on how to reconcile its successful AAA games-years-long creative undertakings, made possible by teams of hundreds-with the conditions under which they are created. As for the rest of us, Uber Uniques will resume dropping (at their usual, vanishingly small rate) when Blizzard puts out a hotfix this afternoon Pacific Time.Since 2021, Activision Blizzard’s place in headlines has been next to allegations of harassment and news of burgeoning union efforts. If the company does decide to take back the bugged shakos-which it hasn't said it'll do-I hope you all manage to cling onto yours. Good luck to them, I say, and to anyone who thinks they can hide Blizzard-made items in a Blizzard-made game from Blizzard itself. 'I sent to my alt and sold it to vendor, it's sitting at buy back stash now,' reported a player called Sanrichin.Īnother, RepresentativePut808, had an even more complex plan: 'I sent it to my alt inventory and deleted my alt, now waiting for everything down before restoring the recently deleted character'. Some are even conniving elaborate and probably doomed plans to hide their ill-gotten gains from the devs. Similar comments were made by other users who were busy living their lives elsewhere.īut, honestly, the funniest segment of the community is the people who did manage to nab a shako, and now live in terror that Blizzard is going to snatch it away from them.

'So a bunch of people got free shako and everyone else go fuck themselves,' complained a user called Rchrdzzz in a comment that drew around 1,500 upvotes. Some players are simply frustrated they missed their opportunity to snag an easy ultra-rare.

Of course, some of the anger is pure salt. Another, GreenAirport5280, accused Blizzard of 'Literally hotfixing fun at 8:40pm at night'. Another comment, from eclipse4598, laments that 'Druid dropping barb uniques 2 weeks to fix' while 'Shako dropping too much 2 hours to fix'. That's probably not quite fair, but it's not an uncommon sentiment.
