Jay made the post, the proof is there and it was unprofessional of the Diablo III Team to make those comments, Jay especially. He should be bowing down to David for being thought of to work on a Diablo sequel.
I'm not a Blizzard slave at all. This is a fansite it doesn't mean I can't speak my mind though I'm in no way employed or enforced to talk nicely about them. I just don't want to see the pitchforks come out if it's not true. The other Blizzard employees, yeah those are definitely real, I won't dispute that.
I'm sure Blizzard will demand that Diablofans delete any and all mentions of this later today.
Don't be ridiculous. They don't have any such power over that. If the thread gets out of hand I may lock it but I wont remove it. That has nothing to do with Blizzard though. Blizzard has no control over this site.

They can if it means that Diablofans won't get invited to any more press events,etc

There's nothing in the fansite agreement that says we have to bend to their will. If that was the case would they want us posting datamined info?

They can't, this got bigger than that quickly. I hope that this gets even more big, like, big enough to force out a comment of Blizzard on whatever channel. That way we would know for sure if it was fake or not.
If popular blogs and newssites pick this up, but Blizzard remains silent, that'd confirm the reality of Jay Wilson's post.
Couldn't sleep, went on official forums, saw this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqXltcnOMCY ....laughed forever and thought I'd share. Tired again, hopefully wake up to the MF blog and nobody caring about this anymore
Drama ... lol
Did D3 live up to my expectations? No. I haven't played in months. That said I don't really care what people do on facebook/personal lives.
It wasn't fake, i checked the page before he took his comment down. I thought it was a troll but turned out to be the genuine Jay (about as genuine as you could consider for facebook. I believe it was him but even if it wasn't there were clearly blizzard employees agreeing with him for that comment regardless, you can't deny that.
Agree with the moderator that claims need to be verified before jumping the gun, but several game media sites are running this gossip as breaking news, people who saw it unfold like a few angry people in this thread and myself, can verify it was a legit post. Much like the 10 bow AH hack a few weeks back, it sounds like a myth but those of you online when it happened, know it happened.
In regards to the post, yea its bad-PR, but who cares?
My mum swears like a sailor, and after living in Aus for 3 years, I find it difficult not to break into curse words myself. Its bad language, its unprofessional, but its just a gaffe, he has several hilarious ones already online.
You probably woulda done the same thing, although maybe not if you were pulling his salary.
You can't belive this is real? Then don't check out the emails from the LIBOR scandals, people talk like ordinary people.
Even if this is an epicly succesful troll, 1.04 is so close... IMHO anything not 1.04 is old news already
It just sucks because today was supposed to be a good day, we hear about new systems and then tomorrow most likely a patch and now all this drama is gonna rain all over it.

Unless....
The patch can't go live this week, and they needed a backup plan. Something that would keep people interested. Something that people can gnaw on. Something viral.
Perfect fit. Or...
...it's just me having fun thought-experiments We'll see soon.

You'd better care. When the current game creator tells the father of the game to go fuck himself, it's pretty bad. It's pretty bad because you know he'll disregard anything good people have to say about D2. Now you know why D3 is nothing like D2. I'm not saying it's the worst game (I'm still playing it) but it could've been oh so much better.
sorry you are a blizzard slave.

People with vendettas against D3 that wants to keep the shitstorm going....
They can if it means that Diablofans won't get invited to any more press events,etc
You guys can't say that isn't fishy...

He removed himself as a friend afterwards.
We'll have to just take your word for it on that one I guess.

Nope not disputing that.
