Maybe I'm too cynical but like everything else, it'll pass in a couple weeks and things will go back normal.

They'll likely have no problem finding new workers if need be.

yeahhh idk about that its from the state not a single person seems like this is a big deal thats not going to blow over
they have a lot of people that are involved a lot of the management and jay allen brack was forced to resign ect ect
going to be a big change up the new co leaders look promising for sure and maybe now the proper talent will get promoted due to ability not friendship status and games will go back to being good

but between covid and now this walk out lots of games are going to suffer d2r probably not really one of them the studio they got doing it is fairly new and probably not really involved its a lot of the wow team
with that in mind wow has been on a downward spiral for years and now the amount of subs and wow content creators that are bailing there is going to be a massive hole in blizzards wow #s


i absolutely see them shifting to diablo 4 trying to push it to dethrone wow cause their current cash cow is dieing
and as for finding new workers idk sexual harassment long hours shit pay ... everything you dont want in a work enviroment they used to draw people in wit the allure of making great games but thats not even really there anymore

Budget allowing I will have a low-mid tier gaming rig up by the end of September.

Just in time for the full release.

Being an adult can be really lame at times.

I have gotten to the point where I feel bad if I buy things for enjoyment that I know I truly don't need.

Goal is to quit my job as soon as possible so in my mind if I spend money I am just pushing that goal back further.

But I mean it is Diablo II remaster.... The game I spend more time playing than any other. So I have to do it haha, even if it is out of character for me.

I have no doubt Activision is full of scumbags but this game is too good to pass up on.

yeah ive had it full paid pre order since beta was out
check out some amd ryzen builds if you arent they are probably a lot more bang for your buck vs the intels i know a lot of people are set on intel specially if they havnt upgraded recently but amd is putting up a fight with solid performance and price points
i used to be all intel if your gaming but i bought this 1st gen ryzen cpu and its done right by me lol amd got it right with the ryzen series

Amd is definitely a good option, from what i understand though is that the integrators (dell, cyberpower, ibuypower, etc.) who do prebuilts are over pricing the amd systems compared to intel ones due to popularity, and then if you want the better prices by building the pc yourself, then you have to pay exorbitant prices for graphics cards. Its kind of a shit position to be in lol either way you're overpaying for something.
I recently built a new pc from NZXT (cuz im lazy and really didnt want to try and find a graphics card that isnt 2nd hand or scalped) and ended up going with an i5 10600kf + 3070ti just because it came out to about $300 cheaper than a ryzen 5 5600x + 3070ti.

damn thats crazy
i know the new ryzens are supposed to be coming with integrated gpus too maybe they just cost more now because of that
when i got my ryzen its 1st gen there is zero gpu all cpu so it was nice and cheap


and yeah building a pc right now is kind of a weird time with crypto mining and covid and just all kinds of shit lol

I'll.play as much as possible.

probably yeah

the graphics was the only thing that really bugged me about original d2 even these most recent resets so new graphics for the same game is like .... thats all ive ever wanted
i never really got bored of the game maybe baal runs or something but nobody forces you to do them you can mf duel trade ect ect the only issue was really the dated graphics
