At what point did Blizzard die for you?

>put progressive nothingburgers in your shit game
>troglodytes on a german shoemaking forum complain about the nothingburgers instead of the game being shit
>you get to dismiss all criticism of your game as being troglodyte drivel

I never played blizzard games and still never intend to.

I hate almost everything about Blizzard. I hate the company so much I have no desire to play any of the diablo games before the company became pozzed.

Probably Cata or D3, Cata was such a sloppy expansion, ruined the entire world with no good payoff. First time one of their games was obviously lacking that classic Blizzard polish.
D3 (on launch) was just pure greed , it did get better over time but never came close to D2.
I got fucking scammed by Shadowlands hype after not buying a Blizzard product for almost 10 years, never again.

When I finally played World of Warcraft I was really underwhelmed and it was everything I didn't want in a game. Then there was Starcraft 2's ending, then there was Diablo 3s main narrative and questionable gameplay/level design, and finally it was the Overwatch trailer, I knew that the Blizzard I liked from Diablo to Warcraft 3 was no more but Overwatch was such a bland pile of shit that I didn't understand the hype, and then it sold, it had nothing of value and people lapped it up.

>So not the poor quality products.
those were shit too
>Not that the only good game they have in hots they abandoned.
it was never really good
>Not the massive layoffs in record breaking profit years.
why should i care?
>Not all the cosby club bullshit.
why should i care?

Starcraft 2
Specifically
>Uh, yeah, you don't get 3 campaigns, you'll get a terran one and get to pay full price for the others later Also you like brood war customs? Fuck you, have this dysfunctional upvote pile of shit. But we got esports :))))
was the first sign something was about to go horribly wrong

when did i stop giving them money? diablo 3 reaper of souls

when did i stop playing their games? i still play diablo 3 and hearthstone

The moment they released TBC, but not after WoTLK ended and SCII happened.

Guy with a shiteating grin making a face vs some woman taking a normal selfie
Never seen more of a SEOVL vs SOVLESS example in my lyfe

Ive only played world of watcraft private servers in my life

I haven't played a Blizzard game since Burning Crusade ended.
really enjoyed my time with Warcraft and Diablo 2, but played enough of it to never touch those again.
every now and then I get the urge to play some WoW Vanilla but luckily it goes away fast. hope the company never releases another game again

When Microsoft bought them out.

Auction in Diablo III and later when they destroy Warcraft3 for no reason

>looked up Samwise's twitter
>no politics
>no pronouns/genderspecial bullshit
>literally just a guy sharing his art and giving minor tidbits about his profession

I had no idea people like this in the video game industry still existed.

Yeah, almost like he's just a normal dude that likes video games and makes them.

Focusing an entire game on one campaign was great though, it's easily better than the combined campaigns of Stacraft 1, it's their best campaign of any of their strategy games, shame that the rest of Starcraft 2 was shit, and the story was cringe incarnate.
>dota become big so we own any custom maps you make in our game
What a shitty company

I've never played a Blizzard game. Were they really that good?

I never played any of their games so they were never alive for me.

Diablo 3

The moment activision bought them and everyone said “it’ll be fine”. then Diablo 3 came out which was the ultimate red flag and you fucking retards didn’t learn from that and kept giving them money.

literally worse than hitler. sit down be humble white chuds

Equipment grind in Diablo is cancer. Warcraft 3 is excellent, Starcraft is good, and Starcraft 2 is excellent until you beat the final mission in Wings of Liberty, as in if the game crashed the second you beat the mission and you couldn't be bothered booting it up to see the ending and imagined that Jim Raynor killed the Queen of Blades then it's an objectively better game.

They made some of the best RTS games ever. But that was also 20 years ago

>icons you never see is the triggering point
>Not the half baked shit game itself that lied on its promises
Why do retards say this regurgitated shit?

They’ve always been creatively bankrupt and did nothing but steal from other IPs in a hodge podge, but I’d say they stopped being fully independent after the real ease of Burning Crusade. It wasn’t about building fun games and sticking to what made a game fun anymore but started to become about making a product for profit first and foremost and if you look into their previous releases you can see that clear as day.

> this occurance again
please... stop mangling games... it doesn't help your illusion...

the moment they introduced the retarded class limitations in overwatch I lost any and all interest in Overwatch's developement

The overwhelming majority of people in the industry are like that. You have to consider that the video game industry employs hundreds of thousands of people. It's just that the crazies are the loudest and are the ones constantly making demands for stupid shit. Most sane people with careers stay off social media these days anyway as it's just a cesspit that will inevitably lead to you being in hot water for wrong-think.

Minor details like that are revealing about why the final product turned out bad.

Online-only D3.

SC2: Wings of Liberty Patch 1.4
>official release development blog
>define good balance as no more than a 45/55 w/l ratio between races
>international data shows zerg are underpowered
>your new changes buff terran
>nerf zerg

and that was the last time they ever shared their internal data about w:l ratios.

play it on console, cuck

burning crusade when they literally admitted they're throwing their own lore in the trash so that blood elves are on horde so they can balance the player numbers, outrageously retconned the draenei and made them space aliens, and showed the game is going to be the same "do end game raid and get excited for next end game raid" bullshit that killed everquest

>>icons you never see is the triggering point
Did you play any custom maps ever?

This.

>Not all the cosby club bullshit.
That was based you faggot

but this isn't "again"
it's literally the exact same occurence as it was like 2 fucking years ago
this is just the hundredth time this thread has been made about it

unironically the only reason I dont want a w4
wow has completely raped the entire lore

>At what point did Blizzard die for you?
Seeing how they handled the WC3 demaster.

Imagine if it was good, imagine if they revived custom maps.
Imagine if it was a success and WC4 would be the result.

When activision acquired them. WotLK went from good to really fucking bad almost immediately.
