blizzard changed from their goal being "make a good game" to "retain X# of sub rates per quarter", which leads them to make games with a small amount of content to clear and shorter windows of content release, minimal beta testing, and hotfixing exploits being so time consuming they dont bother to police botting.

blizzard 2021 is a shit show, and sexual jokes in a mixed gender work environment is maybe the 10th thing on the list of issues they face. there should be no frat boys, and no women, it should be a dev team of unfuckable acne scarred introverts who talk more over discord than at the coffee pot.

I remember one SC2 dev saying the corporate landscape is crippling to artistic design. He said he wanted to do the voice of the sc2 thor himself but they had to use a paid voice actor because of union requirements. The end result was a terrible schwarzeneggar ripoff without personality.

I haven't purchased a blizzard game since Diablo 3. Not going to purchase Diablo 4 unless it gets rave reviews from trusted sources and the streaming looks good.

You're right, it should be just a bunch of people with passion that are focused on making a great game, without management telling them what to do every step of the way.

Frikkin wokeness these days demands a dev team of all colors and genders under the sun. And that team is told the game characters must be a mix of all colors and genders under the sun.

The game will be carebear, scary words ingame can get players banned, D2's hostility button removed, just promise pvp and features for sales numbers and shit on your players later (D3).

Finally, to make sure to milk the players as much as possible so called monetization experts are hired that specialize in messing with the player's psyche to make em fork out those dollars

The end result looks polished but after playing awhile you realize it's shit, you just get your participation trophy while they present you the next cash mount which I'm sure D4 will be like.




Seriously I thought you'd be one of the few that like D3.

I remember debating you in a thread I made about woke shit in video games and that you were against everything I said in order to score your woke points.

Real satisfying to read that you're basically admitting that woke shit killed your video game buddy ;)

Only game that has me really excited is BG3. Divinity 2 being one of my favourite games of all time. Larian Studios has quickly become a favourite for me.
