World of Warcraft players angry after Blizzard seems to contradict housing cosmetics policy with Halloween additions

The World of Warcraft team has found itself at the centre of controversy after recently-added housing cosmetics appeared to go against previous pledges not to sell decorations tied to the visual identity of the game's races and factions. The cosmetics are the haunted Grimtide Estate and Grimtide decor packs - a spooky spin on Kul Tiran furniture that players can either buy through the Battle.net store or in-game shop. These decorations have a nautical theme, in line with the buildings present in the Battle For Azeroth expansion, where the Kul Tiran subfaction was added for Alliance players.
