| Metal_DK 12/22/18 12:06:00 PM #9: | The Merger happened what year? And yes, it followed the same path as every other merger. The initial "this is crazy cool!" to "ya that didnt help the consumer in hindsight" World of Warcraft also contributed to the destruction. Once a company goes MMO, they eventually will fall. We were getting a major game or large xpac every year for years leading up to WoW 95 - Warcraft 2 96 - Diablo 97 - Bunch of Warcraft offshoot games and Diablo Hellfire (easily the weakest year) 98 - StarCraft 99 - Brood War (released technically in December 98 if i recall) 00 - Diablo 2 01 - Diablo 2 Lord of Destruction 02 - Warcraft 3 03 - Frozen Throne 04 - WoW Then nothing in 05, 06, WoW expansions in 07 and 08. Nothing non WoW until 2010. The magic was lost, at least once WoW would start to lose people's interest. Its also why Elder Scrolls is fucked, why Final Fantasy 11 ruined Final Fantasy, and Fallout 76 will ruin Fallout. --- Casual Revolution 2007 - 2016 ... Copied to Clipboard! |
