Kinda childish.
Christ. As if Blizzard was not a good developer.
I don't need see why people are whining about the thread title change. That's what the reductive OP boils down to. I'm super psyched by the changes coming to Overwatch and that's all I play now that I've quit Hearthstone. What made someone think Blizzard would have a new game this year?
Did you expect new games ? Blizz are the kind of company that releases games and keeps supporting them for years to come.
The WoW panel this year just kept giving. Content overload.
well diablo 3 was bad imo. overwatch is decent but with one of the worst monetization schemes ever devised. personally I'd have to go back to wc3 to find anything I liked about blizzard so yeah that is my claim.
Numbnuts who hype themselves up for it every year without any evidence to what they're hoping for even exists. Last year it was WC3 remake, this year it was Diablo 2-3 remake (or Diablo 4) lol.What made someone think Blizzard would have a new game this year?
Which makes the "oh and another new patch for WoW" reductive statement pretty hilarious. It's more content in one patch than we ever got in the duration of WoD. Mocking thread title change was well deserved frankly.The WoW panel this year just kept giving. Content overload.
And when those packs can be earned by playing the game.How are random packs for cosmetics one of the "worst monetisation schemes ever devised"? Especially when the entire F2P and mobile market exist..?
Overwatch just came out, why would they announce a sequel for it? Especially when population numbers are high. It's not like they're making paid dlc either. All the "service" is free. I don't play wow anymore and never played hots, sc2 or hearthstone so I can't comment on those. I will agree no diablo 4 was disappointing however.
Lol at anyone who pays 40 dollars to watch a stream though, of course you're gonna be disappointed.
i'm more surprised that people actually expect good things from blizzard.
because it's designed to exploit users. it's a blatant skinner box. what makes it worse than f2p is that at least in those cases you could in some sense argue that the cosmetics is the price of the game. it's still a massive ethical issue but when you have that + charge full price then I don't understand how you can argue that it isn't worse. in any case I'd argue that almost any kind of micro-transaction monetization is a net loss for customers and ethically dubious at best because of the bad incentives that comes with it.How are random packs for cosmetics one of the "worst monetisation schemes ever devised"? Especially when the entire F2P and mobile market exist..?
Do elaborate. The consensus seems to disagree considering their average metacritic score is 87.
Blizzard has the most shills of any gaming company aside from maybe Nintendo, so yea. Gotta get dat limited edition mount.People seriously do this? Lmao

Yup. I'm pretty happy with what's been shown. It's not mind blowing but it's all quality stuff.That's already more than last year?

It was a mod title change.
I bought a ticket. Didn't suck for me.It only sucks if you bought tickets for it.
Or, you know, one can just post in this thread arguing for why the OP is wrong. Instead of doing this petty title change.

Developers of the best mp fps in years?The writing has been on the wall for years. Time to accept what they are now and move on if it doesn't appeal to you.
Notable what now?
Not so much anymore.
