Don't let you get down by those at Blizzard refusing to give you credit for your work. I think many people in these comments said it better than I would : keep up with the writing ! I wonder though who are the other bloggers who have been put aside like you... Blizzard people are weird... Gratz again ! :) Gratz on the great articles !

In which case it's not plagiarism, so people should stop that line of thought. Unless of course you didn't. However, I do feel your pain that you didn't get a credit - you can (and should) still throw it on your CV though. Did you get paid for the articles?

I agree it's good experience and will look awesome on a CV but, on the other hand, I think it's genuinely outrageous they don't credit the hard work and talent of their writers. Politics bedamned. Yes, I know 'real world' 'doesn't work that way' blah blah blah but still...unless I'd agreed well in advance I'd be unbelievably cheesed off if someone published my work without acknowledgement of my authorship. Also you deserve better, you really do - your blog is one of the pillars of the community, and I reckon is the last, best hope for my decicedly average healing :) Congratulations on publication – and the article looks terrific.

Unfortunately, this goes with the territory: Blizzard's extremes are extreme. Perhaps true perfectionists can only be loved, not give love? Further confuse product with company (you know, the cute gnomes that staff technical support?), and the whole experience must be numbing. But never forget that Blizzard is 4000-odd people, and I'm sure more than a few of them like what you do. That and, "I wrote stuff and got screwed" is actually better work experience than "I wrote stuff". More generally, I am beginning to get the impression that just about everyone involved in this Magazine would be happier if Blizzard had restricted its franchising efforts to Pandaren car seat covers (to re-phrase Samwise). .-= Tim Howgego´s last blog ..<a href="http://timhowgego.com/taking-el-to-the-clouds.html" rel="nofollow">Taking El to the Clouds</a> =-.

I have lost a ton of respect for Blizzard as a company after reading this. As someone who might like to write print herself one day, this is incredibly offensive. Congrats on writing the articles though!
