"World of Warcraft" Corpsegrinder, a non-playable character, will have its name changed because of the issue with the musician it was based on. Blizzard announced this adjustment after the interview of George "Corpsegrinder" Fisher, the main vocalist of rock band Cannibal Corpse, started to resurface.
Visitors try out the massively multiplayer online role-playing game 'World Of Warcraft' at the Blizzard Entertainment stand at the Gamescom 2016 gaming trade fair during the media day on August 17, 2016 in Cologne, Germany.Gamescom is the world's largest digital gaming trade fair and will be open to the public from August 18-21.
"I don't play no homo-Alliance either, I don't play no fu****** night elves or gnomes. It's fucking orcs and undead. Fuck the Alliance, f****** die you f****** emo c***suckers," said Fisher in a 2007 interview, which was published on YouTube.
As of the moment, many fans were relieved that Blizzard Entertainment finally decided to remove the connection of "World of Warcraft" from the singer. But, some of them are still wondering why it took years before the game publisher took action.

According to PC Gamer's latest report, George was specifically bashing the players choosing Alliance, a faction in "World of Warcraft" that includes gnomes, dwarves, worgen, night elves, humans, and draenei.
