Dragonflight’s Questionable Advertising Campaign on Facebook
The World of Warcraft official account released a questionable advertising campaign on Facebook. They decided to play the passive-aggressive card of sarcasm. The intention was to steer more toward an entertaining approach. Using the identity of the Dragon Isles’ inhabitants, they responded to players’ criticism of the new expansion.

Sometimes, such an audacious idea may work in their favor and widely spread in the game community and beyond. But, it wasn’t the case for this campaign. The tone was too provocative and judgemental. Blizzard has taken down most of the advertisements due to the backlash from the WoW fanbase. Yet, this will stay a big topic for discussion in the time to come.
