I’ve been hearing “but wait, Blizzard fixed it” for over half my life at this point. Never once was it true.

Eh, kinda true with Diablo 3 though.

D3 was at mess at launch and the first year or so.

It’s in a good place at the moment.

I will, actually, give you that one. I was more thinking WoW and Overwatch but you’re right, D3 was a mess that they made fun eventually.

I’m have also liked hots. And actually I kinda still like it. I don’t need ranked, I just play solo or would like to play with friends. Friends mostly don’t, sadly, because it’s " ded game"

You don’t implement systems like these in a few days, it’s probably been in the works for months.

Blizzard has been dead for at least a decade. Anyone who is still interacting with the ghoul that is inhabiting Blizzard’s corpse is a fool.

Right? It’s like they forgot how to balance and think this is what people what.

I’ll never forget the tone deaf “Do you guys not have phones?” because that always reminds me of how out of touch they are with their customer base.

Of course we have phones. Of course a lot of us would love a Diablo game for mobile. Of course at the time everyone was waiting and expecting news of a new main game in the series. Despite probably the higher game sales and larger fanbase of Diablo 3, I still feel like (or at least hope) that the general consensus is that Diablo 1 and 2 are seen as better than 3 (and now 4).

If they had released a remastered 1 and/or 2 for mobile, I would have easily tossed them a few bucks for it or even each. Instead I played Immortal for a couple weeks until I got bored and gave them no money, but that doesn’t fucking matter because 1 dumb mother fucker is all it takes for the company to look at microtransactions as the profitable Holy Grail.

They no longer have to make games for their majority fanbase, only a select few. And if you charge for the game AND microtransactions? Well that’s even better.

Forgot how to balance

Blizzard not knowing how to balance has been a joke basically as long as Blizzard has existed.
