Are the console wars still a thing? It feels like people have just accepted that Microsoft has a general ecosystem of games that you can access either on PC, a console, or through some service. Sony has moviegame exclusives and downgraded ports of whatever new AAA game is coming out. And Switch...

It also doesn't help that they don't release many new games anymore. The last new Blizzard was Overwatch in 2016. Otherwise, you're looking at rereleases of old games that many Blizzard fans already had, like Starcraft 1, and don't hold much appeal with the kids of today. And the D2 and WC3...

Blizzard devs love shitting on their customers on twitter and in interviews. Wouldn't surprise me if posting such a comment on their weibo account was deliberate and they thought they could actually get away with it.

The vast majority of Blizzard's fans are PC gamers (as they had to be painfully reminded at Blizzcon 2018). Overwatch had the beginnings of a decent console audience... 6 years ago, they did. Blizzard has terribly managed the OW franchise. It would take years of consistently releasing good...

New world of wokecraft expansion has been announced: Dragonflight. The hour long announcement stream was incredibly barebones, filled with the same empty promises we've heard for the 8 years, and incredibly cringeworthy and laden with virtue signalling. The one and only thing about Dragonflight...

Depends upon what Dragonflight brings in store. There are two main demands of the playerbase: New classes: the most popular class ideas were Demon Hunter (implemented in Legion), Dark Ranger, Necromancer, Tinker, and some sort of Dragon themed class. Not one day goes by that someone doesn't...

It seems that Blizzard's website programmers have accidentally leaked the next WoW expansion: Dragonflight. Official expac reveal is on April 19th.

I can see Sony trying to buy Square Enix to grab Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest (is niche in the West but is the biggest RPG series in Japan). Biggest problem is that Sony has been taken over by California, and axed their Japanese studios a while back. It's pretty clear what artistic vision...

The state of Blizzard games is abysmal. It's hard to fathom how it could possibly get worse. That being said, this doesn't mean that Blizzard will get better (see what Microsoft did to Rare). It seems that this acquisition was primarily for Call of Duty and Candy Crush. Blizzard as a...

Just saw quite the claim. Supposedly, Microsoft is buying Blizzard. EDIT It's true. Official announcement: https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2022/01/18/welcoming-activision-blizzard-to-microsoft-gaming/

Jeff Kaplan (one of the original WoW devs, and the director of Overwatch) has left Blizzard. Jeff Kaplan was probably the most respected man (by the fans) who was still left at Blizzard. He was very charismatic like Metzen and Morhaime, and he gave off the impression that he was listening to...

At least this time they got a pretty sweet deal, with 12 months of healthcare and 3 months severance package.

Blizzcon livestream One hour and 15 minutes into the stream and they've hardly shown off anything of substance. Lots of fluff about "be nice to each other" and patting themselves on the back over how great Blizzard is and how great people feel playing their games and... long, 20 minute long...

I went there from 2014 through 2018. It's basically Disneyland for Blizzard fans, with the rides being being demos of the new WoW expansion/new games/new heroes for HotS and Overwatch. Also sorta like anime conventions if you are into voice acting, as the panels with the voice actors were really...

How many years ago was Overwatch 2 announced? I see that the tradition of announcing a game several years too early and exhausting the fan hype by the time it actually releases is still alive and well. And if what Belluar said is true, then Diablo IV is in development hell.

Used to be a huge Blizzard fanboy up until 2014, when Metzen left and the quality of the storytelling plummeted. Blizzard games weren't masterpieces, but they had heart, but after Metzen left Blizzard just stopped trying. Also their business practices got scummier and the quality of their games...
