World of Warcraft: Forever Is Already Overrun with AI Slop

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame World of Warcraft: Forever as a development challenge for Blizzard, but they split sharply on what aspect matters. Engadget’s headline is the most general, and its extract only says the game was a unique challenge for Blizzard’s developers. 404 Media alone foregrounds an AI slop and addon-theft angle, saying the vibe-coded addon problem is severe enough that Warcraft Logs is changing its API.
