Mead 10/27/21 8:44:14 PM #2:	If leaks are to be believed blizzard is being cancelled as well in 2022. Activision is planning on changing their name and they want to just fold what is left of Blizzard into that to try to reset their PR image Not that much will actually change considering that Blizzard has just been Activision for a long time now --- my resting temp can easily be in the 90's -Krazy_Kirby <cite>Mead posted [p:959453667] in BlizzCon 2...

Entity13 10/28/21 4:23:26 AM #7:	It is quite sad on the one hand, for the company Blizz once was. On the other, I'm hoping this means what I think it means for certain investment reasons, for what ActiBlizz was doomed to become for quite some time. --- http://i207.photobucket.com/albums/bb179/EntityXIII/entityfn7.jpg <cite>Entity13 posted [p:959463426] in BlizzCon 2...

Dikitain 10/28/21 7:27:51 PM #13:	Blizzard died in 2004 for me. Whatever was left after that wasn't Blizzard in my eyes. As much as I think Diablo 3 (or at least the launch version) got a bad rep, I can't deny it felt more like the creators of WoW trying to make a Diablo game then an actual Diablo game. Plus Starcraft 2 was just bland. Then you have the WoW spin-offs, the horrible remakes/remasters/whatevers, the offering the classic collection for free only to put it behind a "premium" subscription later, whatever the hell Battle.net turned into once they integrated it in with Activision. At least they put most of their good games on GoG so I can enjoy them without needing to break out my disks and trying to get them working on a modern system, but I just can't justify playing anything from them in the last 20 years. --- After 16 years, I have decided my signature will NOT be about my job!

They just repeated the unfortunate process of most game companies: Start a company with good ideas and the will to be the bests at something. Put out good products that are smash hits. Listen to the fans and keep doing good work. Become big. Go on the stock market. Be bought be someone else, become a bitch to fat cat shareholders. Become too big, start not giving a damn because no matter what you do, someone will tell you that the only thing that matter is pleasing the shareholders and not the fans. In Blizzard's cases, have a few creepazoids doing harassment and cubicle crawls, while virtue signaling in trying to damage control. That cycle keeps repeating itself. I just want the companies that I love to realize why they make good games, what their fans love about their games, and to STOP at be satisfied to be a small/mid game developper who is successful and beloved. --- Let's go Brandon! <cite>The_tall_midget posted [p:959551491] in BlizzCon 2...
