It's obvious the developers don't care and possibly don't even play the game. -Diablo 3 dead. Diablo Immortal controversy opened even the most loyal of fanboys' eyes to what Blizzard as a company is really about these days -Overwatch focused on status quo and eSports over the actual game itself. Nine new Winter event skins, otherwise same exact shit as last year. -SC2 has been dead for a while and its eSport scene has been bleeding dry for a few years. -Hearthstone hasn't had a good expansion for a while and is losing players and money. -HotS just got royally gutted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUifL67bQac" data-time=" -Talk of more mobile game bs. -Insiders saying the company itself is shit and employees aren't treated well. -Literally only things people are hyped for are remasters of games made during Blizzard's best era: WoW Classic and WC3. -Stocks have been plummeting over the past few months: https://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/atvi What went wrong? --- I'm a peasant. <cite>Suchomimus posted [p:914172979] in Blizzard a...

Smashingpmkns 12/15/18 2:28:22 PM #2:	WoW had a good run. Diablo 3 didnt. Overwatch is still doing great. HotS is lucky to have made it this far. And Hearthstone is whatever. They just have to release a new game. Diablo Immortal is probably going to do really well in China, where that game matters tbh. --- Clean Butt Crew <cite>Smashingpmkns posted [p:914173177] in Blizzard a...

nexigrams 12/15/18 11:09:31 PM #11:	Activision went wrong. It stopped being a company that was by gamers for gamers, and became a mega conglomerate more focused on its shareholders and their precious growth. WoW is pretty awful right now. It just feels rushed, and the content is sparse. What little there is has nothing to do with what players actually want. The beta was rushed, and all feedback was ignored. With the announcement that 8.2 azerite armor would scrap the trait unlock levels on gear, instead implementing a legion artifact-like trait tree on the heart itself, you can't help but feel like only then will BFA finally be in a state that resembles what 8.0 should have shipped like, and would have shipped like if Activision wasn't behind the scenes forcing them to release early. "BUT WE PROMISED Q4 2018 BFA WHO CARES IF ITS READY LUL. SHIP IT WATCHER." --- https://imgur.com/SYiqIRC <cite>nexigrams posted [p:914196782] in Blizzard a...
