An Overdue Blizzcon Announcement


Not even Doctor Strange would be able to find a single outcome in the Warcraft series where the Void Lords finally get defeated.

If people who wish to quit World of Warcraft have a genuine reason to quit the game (other than cutting costs, boycotting Blizzard for disqualifying Hearthstone tournament winners who are willing to stand up for democracy, Activision's bad management, etc.), it would be the sad realization that not one outcome, not even a single what if scenario, end with the Void Lords being defeated by anybody.

This would mean that if it was confirmed that the Dark Titan Sargeras did actually win when he stabbed Silithus, then his victory would actually be a hollow one, because the Void Lords always win, and not even the what if scenarios where the bad guys win will do anything to prevent the Void Lords from winning at the end. In other words, the Burning Legion's campaign to take over Azeroth was doomed from the start. Even if the Burning Legion won, which they actually did, thanks to Sargeras stabbing Silithus, their victory will be short-lived, because they will have to deal with the Void Lords themselves, and defeat at the hands of the Void Lords will be inevitable.

Imagine if somebody were to make this important revelation at Blizzcon about analyzing millions of outcomes in the Warcraft series, and every one of them ended with the Void Lords winning, how will everybody attending Blizzcon react to this announcement?

In other words, well played, Chris Metzen.
