THE BLIZZARD RANT

This older random rant video by JonTron talking about a well known video game company made my evening and has aged so well currently in the year 2026. It would be great if he came back making content again.

laughs in old school RuneScape

Jokes aside this aged amazing.

rip turtle wow

This video aged to well

Wait, how did I miss a Jontron video?! HOW?!

I bet Jon plays turtle wow.

This aged like wine.
For a corperation infamous for claiming "You think you do, but you don't", they certainly are on a neverending witchhunt for people that offer what they refused then.

Felt I had to revisit this now that blizzard is once again on the warpath against private servers.

LONG LIVE TURTLEWOW

Blizzard is now doing the same thing to Turtle Wow.
They hate seeing other people have fun.

Stop Killing Games initiative.

I took the day off from work to be there when Nostalrius shut down.

Man… This hits different nowadays.
With the Stop Killing Games movement as big as it is, I wonder what will happen to WoW… And if someday I'll get to play it lol

4:10 this is relevant again lmao

Cant believe this is 8 years ago. Feels like 4. Cant believe its 8 years ago nostalrius got taken down. Where is the time.

Blizzard were untouchable 11/10 gods until Burning Crusade in 2007, the first little cracks of not caring too much about lore fumbles/retcons and consuming established characters as fodder for raid dungeons without an equal amount of worthwhile stuff replacing it. But they were still 10/10 excellence, international top 5 company. But since that little crack, they've been steadily loosing a few decimals each year.

Hey, Diablo III! Have we been waiting for this one! Hey give us a lil' extra and you'll get in the prerelease, isn't that great? Woops, Error 37? What's that? Anyway, thanks for the money, bud! Oh yeah there's this real money auction house thing, too, but don't worry, it's there to empower players with choice or w/e. Oh did we weight drop rates to drop mostly things for other classes than yours? Naaah, we wouldn't. Oh by the way here's flavor of the day evil witch killing off one of the most important characters in a shtty ingame cutscene, lol. No he doesn't come back.

Oh yeah the dragon nuked the World of Warcraft.

Overwatch, baby! First new world in a decade, woo! Teaser trailer looking like a full Pixar superhero movie, dang! By the way, no singleplayer or story, bro! That's right! Team v Team objectives only! And by the way here's some lootboxes, enjoy!

Hey, man! Did you enjoy WarCraft III? Well do we have good news for you! HD Remix, baby! 30 gBs of it! Oh sure it's a bit broken and janky for now but hey, you know we will patch it eventually, right? Hmmm… don't need it? Back to your WIII Battle Chest? Well, sure, just hit the updates, we got'cha. You can get all 30 gBs of them. Because we're shoving Reforged down your throat whether you like it or not, and you'll be stuck with this bloated 15x heavier version in "classic mode" because that's gonna constantly nag you to give money for the full Reforged experience, AND is also a reconstructed mess that messes up a bunch of stuff the original didn't. Cool!

New Diablo, boys and girls! It's big! It's beautiful! It's a prequel! It's on phones! It's a gacha re-skin of some Chinese lie-ruiner ARPG with 10-pull mechanics and a bunch of esoteric currencies to obfuscate the real money you'll be giving us! Don't you guys have phones, ha ha, we sure love to give our players a friendly little ribbing from time to time!

Hey good news, guys! Games? What are those? Nah we're talking about our new Department of Diversity! This is news!

Oh man oh man oh man! Diablo IV, people! Hey, you know you can give us a lil' extra to get early access, right? Nah nah nah don't worry about all that Error 37 nonsense from 10 years ago. This time, this is real. This is tight! We got'chu! Now it's Errors 7, 3006, 34202, 316719, and 396022! Thanks again for that prerelease money!

Yeah this sucks.

fuck blizzard, its not the same company who listened to fans, they are only after money nothing else

How does Blizzard just keep getting worse?

2024 and the story remains the same

8 years later and the Blizzard situation still the same LOL
