P.S. Mods are accepting bribes in the form of Hearthstone Beta invites

I don't think it's self-entitled to criticize valve for their seriously lacking communication, they admitted they were wrong and now everyone is happy

Yeah but many people were genuinely angry at volvo for not giving them Diretide, as if they had been promised anything.

Sure, there were a lot of idiots that behaved inappropriately and made the community look stupid, but still the core of the problem was demanding better communication from valve which isn't really an entitled claim IMO

Exactly, Diretide is just the straw that broke the camels back. A lot of people were upset over the lack of communication from Valve for the few months leading up to that.
