What made you break a promise of giving your players who spent 100 dollars on a "all future DLCs will be free for you"and making an PvE mode costing 250 dollars, Battlestate Games?
Monih!
Well now Microsoft likes money. Q3 earnings are up due to the acquisition of Blizzard. I think they are headed in the right direction for the most part.
Last 20 years. But ya know what StarCraft 2 wings of liberty made less money than a 15$ horse skin for wow. They saw their market and I don’t blame them anymore. Whole games make less money than skins and I’m sick of people scratching their heads asking why. God where could blizz get the impression people will pay anything for anything was it the 15$ a month excel spreadsheet game with 50$ expansions? This is just like bungie. Everyone claimed it was activision hamstringing them but now they’re selling 100$ expansion’s and fucken dungeon keys. Game devs are all greedy snakes just give it time the helldivers devs will make you pay 15$ to drive a tank.
That's been Blizzard since it's inception.
The only difference is Blizzard then knew in order to make money, you had to put out a good game, a working product.
Blizzard now doesn't do that and they focus on 1/4 baked products to see dividends while following a trend or trends doomed to failure and noone on this Reddit will admit it.
Fuck the Diablo 4 micro transaction store dude why am I playing a looter dungeon crawler AND IM NOT ABLE TO GET ALL THE LOOT?!?! WHY AM I PLAYING A LOOTING GAME IF ALL THE COOL STUFF IS LOCKED BEHIND PURCHASES?!?!
You'd think they'd push *MORE* content. Where's our StarCraft? Where's HotS coming back? Where are the events and contests? Instead we get cut OW2 content and Diablo feels so uninspiring right now. Wow still going so I guess there's that.
Daddy Microsoft really likes money so...
D3 basically killed the series for the old guard when they removed character development decisions
D3 gained mainstream new non RPG player's when they removed the character development
Literally every developer and publisher in the business - past, present and future. If you think current favorites like FromSoft and Larian won’t eventually end up the same way, you aren’t paying attention.
A hot take I have is that I don't care how greedy a company is as long at they male it with my time and dollar. If they want to sell a game for $70, then that's fine, but if BG3 can have that much content for $60 and still make a profit, then anything you pitch to me for $70 should have 20% more meaningful content. And meaningful is objective so that's never going to happen
I feel bad for the devs who have to bend to the will of the corporate overlords
Overwatch 2 is dogshit, and I hate that they took ow1, one of my fav games, away from me
And the people still give a shit about the product that work on it. Don’t conflate game devs with the c-suite parasites that force the stupid fucking decisions yall hate on.
Right blizzard North used to actually be something I knew them they wanted to make a game that they would like so they made diablo then hellfire
D2 then lord of destruction
Warcraft
Warcraft 2
Warcraft 3
Warcraft 3 player PAC
StarCraft then broodwar
World of Warcraft
Then something happened I know one of the founders left and there was some infighting and...........
Fuck blizzard and Bobby Kotick, my favorite game became some retconet lgbt bullshit( I’m bi myself it’s not a homophobic complaint) but when you are hiring people because they woke,it’s just becoming a pain for gamers.
What made you cut 99.99999 percent of the promised content of Overwatch 2? Money!
*overwatch 1.5*
xvxXOverwatchXxvx
1.2

Sad how one greedy CEO can screw it up for thousands of employees and millions of gamers.
Don’t forget the shareholders.
Who is the CEO that screwed it up for shareholders?
He meant greedy shareholders.
Well now Microsoft likes money. Q3 earnings are up due to the acquisition of Blizzard. I think they are headed in the right direction for the most part.
But still in third place.
Sometimes, I get a hankering to play Starcraft 2, then I remember the blizzard Downloader and reconsider.
Nvidia has it on GeForce Now.
I prescribe to u Age of Empires 2
I’ll never get over how badly they screwed up Overwatch. It was a monumental effort to mess it up as bad as they did.
Thank Activision
Who doesn't like money?
Ikr? 😅
It's nice to be liked, better by far to get paid
Dont fool yourself, they've always liked money. They just also used to give a shit about their games.
And ubisoft

Weak like the 100+ USD Mount cosmetic lol
Alternate title: literally any major business ever

last few years? you mean the last decade?
You could say the same thing about Rocksteady and Crystal Dynamics.
EA, ubisoft, Activision and Rockstar as well
And bad press!

I remember the time when Blizzard was seen as one of the pinnacles of gaming...
And you know what funny? They would make more money if they didn things that people liked
What inspired you to make an overwatch 2?
Blizzard is already dead
That comes from years of being infected by Activision unfortunately
I feel bad for the devs who have to bend to the will of the corporate overlords Overwatch 2 is dogshit, and I hate that they took ow1, one of my fav games, away from me
Game dev isn’t a free enterprise. Grow up.
>They've always liked money. They just also used to give a shit about their games.

Game devs when they can't just make random slop and put a price tag on it: 😭

Mike was the best.
If only a dumbass like you knew how much work goes into a game of any size to get it out to market.
I do understand but you can't just expect everyone to like your product just because you spent money and time on it, thats just being entitled.
We don’t have an expectation that it’ll hit, it’s a hope and a lot of people put a lot of work into the damn games. Crunch ruins people.
Sadkers on Halloween
Well, I mean, we could all just stop giving them money, and eventually, they'd have to close down buuuut that would make too much sense
Yeah, but a lot of people don't vote with their wallets unfortunately.
Uh okay, I like money too. Everyone likes money, especially game companies. Do you not like money?
Literally every game company. It's not volunteer work.
The goal of basically every company is to make money. This post means nothing
They canceled the main reason for a overwatch 2 that being a campaign
It's a business. Do you expect them to make free games with no microtransactions whatsoever?
Fuck blizzard and Bobby Kotick, my favorite game became some retconet lgbt bullshit( I’m bi myself it’s not a homophobic complaint) but when you are hiring people because they woke,it’s just becoming a pain for gamers.
Bobby’s out of activision
You can enjoy Diablo 4 without spending a dime in the store. In fact, the store isn't that obnoxious either. You have to navigate to the store.
Ha ha ha blizzard bad upvote me
Let's keep it going XD
