Theres only 1 individual on this conversation who is irrational, this is not a conversation this is the ravings of a lunatic on some Crusade against evil Blizzard for paying tribute to a great guy imortalizing him in theyre game.

They are profiting off his death and they just increased the price of the paywall to see him. Its as simple as that. I'm sorry you are so blinded by bias that you can't see that.

Sooo... this price increase is happening in the U.S. too then, right?

Hey, is this from WoW?  What is it called?

According to the forum post they are considering it everywhere so eventually yes.

Holly fuck plz stob beeing so obtuse. Its not a paywall to see him its the price to play the whole game, all of it and the game is incredibly hughe, its likelly anyone playing the game wont even find Robbin Willians so big the world is. And the day they release his in game NPC, ill find him in some 10 wow databases and post his picture for you here alongside in game screenshots and Im not even playing WoW anymore, for like 1 year now.

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/paywall the subscription is a paywall and you cannot access the NPC without it. You can try to twist things as much as you want and delude yourself as much as you want but it doesn't change the truth.

Youre right man you win, you are some higher form of intelect who detected corporate evil on paying tribute to someone after a petition because WoW is subscription based. It obviously should have gone free to play forever after all Robbin Willins will be in it in te form of one tiny NPC and this will bring 5 millions subscriptions back to WoW, including mine Im considering right now re subing cause Robbin Willians is just gona make the game beyond good. And the price increasing after 10 years of they somehow managing to keep it the same (in 1 area theres absolute no evidencew of it increasing anywhere yet just rumors) before the NPC is even implemented is obviously some evil scheme from those evil WoW developers.

Well, you're welcome to believe what you'd like, then. =P I honestly still think you're overreacting, because I actually think the guy made enough of an impact on people that there are folks who might actually WANT to do something for him. I'm in my mid-twenties and it felt like a relative died when I heard he'd passed, which is odd because I've NEVER reacted to a celebrity death like that before. I simply grew up watching his movies, and eventually his stand-up comedy, and even though I'm not even a more strenuous Robin Williams fan, he was simply a big part of what I grew up on. I'd honestly be surprised if Blizzard was devoid of people who could say the same.

Is there some corporate fatcat who's got dollar signs in his eyes? Yeah, maybe, the really old guys in Activision. But I doubt it'd be any more than a tiny minority of those in the company. And even if the announcement of the price bump was poorly timed- or even deliberately timed- I don't think that Robin Williams still being alive would have prevented a price bump from happening anyway. =P They might just have decided to spring it on everyone as a surprise.

I'd like to point out that pretty much any public form of media that has so much as commented on his death- be it Conan's brief tribute on his show, any and all Youtube videos since his death that have ever spoken of him, uploaded footage of him (including hard-to-find stuff like his entertainment of troops overseas) and pretty much everything beyond txting your friend about it privately- can be construed as looking for something, whether it's money, ratings, Youtube subscriptions, etc.

In addition, if Nintendo ever does do a tribute to him in one of their Zelda games (and frankly, I'd like it if they did,) then that's going to be behind a paywall as well, since you'll actually have to buy the game to see it. That being said, I'd still like it if they did a tribute to him in one of their games, even if something small.

They could make the tribute accessible for a free, or they can donate a % to his charities. It's not complicated.
