>Microsoft will save Blizzard
Did anyone ironically think this? People truly think that Microsoft, who was paying record amounts for Blizzard, was going to ease back on the milking? They'd never see their investment return anything. It's only going to get worse from here on, boys! Samwise Didier saw the writing on the wall and quit recently.
>Did anyone ironically think this?
Yeah, I did, I thought MS would kill Blizzard thus saving us from it.
Blizzard has been shit since...how long ago was Wings of Liberty? and I understand if you think we can go even further back but I am a very forgiving person.
Blizz fans walk themselves into the milking machine, this is the best possible outcome for them. To the average blizzdrone the biggest problem with the company is there are not enough ways to spend money.
They will save them from themselves by using a gun. Anyone around long enough sees this as a good thing.
I can't wait for the absolute shitstorm that awaits Phil and MS when they realize how much of a waste of fricking time acquiring ActiBlizz was
surely they had some analysts tell them that they were buying the most hated gaming company that exists, and that they hadnt released a well recieved product in decades
>they hadnt released a well recieved product in decades
>product
That's the key word here
This fricking horse made more money than starcraft2. Everyone hates the idea of it but every fricking wow addict bought it anyway. Is blizzard can keep raking in money despite making shit games M$ will be happy.
Forgot my horse
the horse was a better game than starcraft 2 too.
"TRH has arrived!!"
Yeah, I'm afraid that's wishful thinking. Would be hilarious though.
said no one ever
>D4 expansion literally a year after release
>CoD MWII expansion literally a year after release
>all full priced or higher
mmm yes I'm sure quality content is their goal here
I hope they fire literally all of the staff team except for the necessary people like engineers
Firing them and shutting down the studio is the only way to "save" them.
It still saddens me what happened to one of the best devs in the last decade.
they aren't under microsoft management yet, you dumb shit eating dronie
You don't buy a company and change the way they do everything. Usually you want them to keep on keeping on because they are shitting out profit. The parent company generally only gets involved when something goes wrong or there is a major market shift.
Milk 'em dry.
To be honest, who cares? Blizzdrones will eat the shit anyways, the power of single 40s boomers with no wifes/husband is way too powerful and I shit you not if D4 releases a patch that adds nothing it will break records of sales and shit like that.
cry more zoomer
blizzdrones will vote yes to this shit and even ask for more
They are really just testing what they can get away with before you uninstal battlenet because of it. You should do it.
Pure greed and pushing the limits as always but try for decades to stop bizz drones it pointless to try they always go back. Will not be shock if wow on gamepass and it become even worst
why anyone still care about them after overwatch?
Do people even play D4 anymore? I'm still forced to play it by my autistic brother but the game died so fast it was on Steam a few months after release
There comes a point where I just don't care about the victims because they choose to enable their abusers: battered wives and girlfriends who protect their boyfriends and husbands, friends who handout drugs to drug addicts, and gamers who complain about price gouging but nevertheless 100% whatever rip off companies offer them.
I believe evil exists in the world, but now I'm beginning to hate the supporters more who prop them up, because the first party wouldn't have any power if the second didn't enable them in the first place. Humanity deserves every bit of suffering they get because they choose to tolerant, accept and even support it.
This, all the cry about "Whales" and "gambling addicts" being abused on gaming is just pointless when the entire "gaming community" says how scummy but they continue to break records with sales and profit.
This.
It's not Blizzards fault that people are moronic enough to pay for their dogshit again and again and again and again ad nauseam.
Humans deserve suffering because bibya gaymes make me >:(
Yes. It's like Americans b***hing about war and how much it costs them to run it but they keep voting the same two parties who advocate more wars to foreign countries. They get what they deserve.
The words of a righteous man.
They shoul;d be paying me a $100,- to play their expansion to this crap game
Make fun of Blizzardgays at every opportunity you can, its your obligation as a responsible consumer to shit on those downs syndrome morons whenever possible
Give them a pay what you want with a minimum of $50 and every $10 spent over gives you like a special number on the main menu.
Enjoy your millions. I'll expect my consultancy fee cheque in the mail.
>pay for the base game
>pay for the expansion
>pay for the battlepass
>pay for the skins
>and they're going to sell gameplay-affecting items
I'm pretty sure modern AAA game fans get off on being ripped off.
yeah but i'm trans and autistic so i have to buy every game they make
im so glad i didn't buy d4 during the autumn sale
blizzdrones will buy it anyway
bump
Blizzard isn't going anywhere. They are going to keep hitting record highs as they turn more and more into a scummy western gacha company. The KING aspect of ABK has taken over the entire corporate culture. Microsoft is going to make a mint regardless of gamers b***hing about the steep decline their games are in (they don't care because they make more money than is humanly possible).
>Creates a survey for fans on an add-on
>Fans put their input on it
>Blizzard will ignore it
>Adds a shit addon for monetization or some shit
>Rage and shitflinging happens
>"Uh, you guys voted for this, lol?"
This is all so tiresome, why even bother?
Blizzard isn't ignoring anything. People are voting for more microtransactions.
>Creates a survey for fans
i got the survey and i only played the network test
call when they listen to answers
Is anyone still playing D4? The game is already at half price so its probably not doing too hot
From the beta the game seemed even worse than 3
>There are still guys on Ganker like that butthole making the same "why arent you playing overwatch?" thread every day for half a decade straight that simp for this zombie company
BUT PLS MY DEAR GOOD SIRS, GAMEPASS WILL SAVE IT!
>wake up
>Blizzshart still not dead
YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS PLEASE LET ME GIVE YOU MORE MONEY BLIZZARD
I like Diablo 4 and I started playing Diablo with D3. I paid 90€ for the early access edition with mount and I will buy the 100€ Addon edition with limited time bonus. Why? Because I enjoy the game and I gladly pay for things that are fun. You are free to make up some weird cope or just you know - ignore the game and play something else.
you are whats wrong with gaming. frick off
They fricked it with the first two seasons though didn't they?
Anything more than free for the first add on is too much, the game is utter shit with no content
even 10 would be too much
