    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

    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.

    If I'm not mistaken, this is around the time they got big and became corporate. At that point the devs began to live in a bubble. You the customer became their cash cows. Which is because they know they'll always be people that will take anything they give. That's why that dude was so smug.

    This is even more accurate with the really flagrant mishandling of Overwatch 2. Overwatch 1 was like the pinnacle of hero shooters (and multiplayer shooters in general) and would’ve been remembered so fondly if Blizzard could’ve just fucking handled the balancing like any other game studio.
