When all this is sorted out, there should be World of Warcraft LEGO.Activision Blizzard is currently facing Serious ongoing allegations of harassment When Abuse of left-behind workers. Comment by Baluki on T15:08:40-06:00īlizz & Activision really need to get their %^&* together so we can get Warcraft Lego sets someday.Īnd.y'know.because it's the right thing to do. Long before Overwatch jumped off a cliff and ended up on life support in the critical condition ICU of gaming. The first run of Overwatch toys can STILL be found on Target shelves, on clearance sale, and those were made when Overwatch was peaking. Lego knows that if this line is produced it's DOA. The morality of it is just the easy excuse to bail on a Lego line that isn't going to sell. Comment by hotaru251 on T15:23:38-06:00Ī toy company well known for their use of foreign slave labor to make their toys, pretends to care on Twitter about another sleazy company having a few loser d-bags being sexual creepers. I feel like it'll come out 2023 at this point but it's still concerning they won't lock down any sort of date. Last I heard they wouldn't even confirm a release date this year OR the next. not to mention a sequel that is essentially an expansion pack that still has no release date since it was announced in 2019. I played Overwatch a %^&* ton when it came out and it's sad to see the road it's gone down.
Who gives a #$%^ about the Lego sets when we don't even know if the game itself will be vaporware Comment by ScrumpusWumpus on T13:10:57-06:00 Reminds me of when The Muppets cut ties with Chic Fil' A for. Wendys once again proving they are the best Comment by avatarofshadow on T12:42:16-06:00 Wendys tweets are gold Comment by Romanthony on T09:02:50-06:00 Wendy's tweets are always fresh, never frozen. Going at Wendy's on Twitter is a death wish. If you're going to roast someone, make sure you're not an easy target yourself. NOT THE LEGO Comment by Arakara on T05:46:10-06:00 Either way, it's probably good news for fans of Blizzard branded apparel, although we do not yet have a date for the re-launch of the Blizzard store outside of early 2022.Ī new Blizzard Gear Store experience is coming soon in 2022. In this case, it seems more likely that the contract with Fanatics simply expired, rather than the change being a direct result of Activision Blizzard's increasingly dinged reputation. Interestingly, the Online Blizzard Store has also entered hiatus, following an announcement last month that it would be transitioning to a "new experience." Although light on the details, the announcement implied that Blizzard would be ending its partnership with sportswear seller Fanatics, which took over operation of the Blizzard Store in 2019 and very quickly suffered a poor reception from customers due to the equally poor quality of their merchandise. This list previously included T-Mobile, State Farm, IBM, and Xfinity, as well as Kellogg's Cheez-It Grooves and Pringles Wavy brands.Īlthough LEGO was never an official sponsor of the League, their limited partnership to produce sets advertising the upcoming game is in no way less impactful, as merchandise sold through the Blizzard store and other retailers have long been an important part of marketing. Since that time, Xfinity was also quietly removed from the Overwatch League partners page, leaving only Coca-Cola and teamspeak remaining. Several months ago, we saw corporate sponsors abandon Activision Blizzard in droves, as T-Mobile and State Farm insurance were quickly joined by IBM and Kellogg's in pulling their ads from Overwatch League matches. The LEGO set has been delayed for an unspecified amount of time, citing a review of their partnership with Activision Blizzard. In a statement reported on The Brick Fan, and shared by retail outlet customers, LEGO stated that the company was reviewing their partnership with Activision and the progress being made to address its workplace allegations.
LEGO has paused the release of their upcoming Overwatch 2 Titan set, originally set to release on Feburary 1st, 2022.
