nah, u smart
Blizzard aint the same monopoly blizzard anymore, they're a joke gaming company that literally fucked up so hard in so many ways, multiple times to the point of no return. They're corporate bsns, they dont care what gamers want, they care more about shareholders $$$. They made that pretty clear. Imagine dominating the gaming scene, and look at them now. Look at Grinding Gear Games, from indie company to being bought out by Tencent etc.
Getting fooled by them multiple times over a successful game title franchise is like... the reason why they're still around jaja
its true blizzard is probably one of the worst they dont pay that good from what ive read and they pretty much enforce like 16 hour work days and purposely hire workaholics who are willing to do them
ive even read those workaholics are hired because if your like "days over time to go home" but u see dude sitting there working for another 2h+ you might stay too or feel guilty and help enforce the workaholic enviroment

I remember playing early Beta's of POE.
The game has come so far. It was obvious from the start the indie studio really believed in what they were doing.
yeah poe has for sure come a long way but even then the seasons are becoming pretty meh but at least they are trying to keep it fresh and have good base mechanics

Unfortunately most good companies eventually fall to corporate greed
its greed but also the system itself its basically set to fail
people that create games naturally get promoted over time and replaced and lets be real if that dude was the master mind behind a game and gets replaced by some average joe who gets 90s in his class .... there is no guarantee he can make the same quality game
he can likely do the guys job but will it produce the same quality? or style or same oomph people liked about a game? or even know why the game was good from a players standpoint?
thats where i feel blizzard is at they lost/promoted all the good talented creative developers and on top of that you got activison behind then rushing games out buggy and half assed because it was rushed
activision imo is the devil anything with activision in it as a game has pretty much gone to shit they see a series thats doing good buy it and ruin in grabbing as much money as they can on the way down
BUT with all that being said i think diablo 4 is going to be decent at the very least because its blizzards new mmorpg i think this has to be THE GAME and they learned a lot of what not to do with diablo 3
the remakes have failed they dont really have new games retail wow numbers are dwindling and there is only so many good expansion you can rerelease to life support the sub count d4 has to be successful or they are relying on overwatch and their esports league
they know what they need to do but can they do it? lol my main issue is stats/item stats and damage bonuses they go way overboard in d3 and even wow they need to ring back smaller numbers like d2 had that are manageable like 5% not 500%
thats the whole fuckin reason d2 pvp was good and d3 pvp is shit because the damage to hp scale is just dumb they cant balance for shit even in wow its an issue and the fixes are the most half assed attempts ever
they need to take time to properly do shit but the problem is activision doesnt give them the time instead of looking into it like " oh this skill sucks and needs a buff" they will be like this class all damage increased 5% and done...then its op so they nerf by 2% ect ect
over time the damage might even out but then you have skills not being used because it was so weak and never got the buff it needed while other skills that were stronger got stronger and over powered
