Boycotting Blizzard is all about their shitty behavior as a company since long before the games they made turned bad too.
of course not.
Nope.
No.
It’s not the Blizzard that used to make games we loved anymore. It’s just a name now, and behind that a corporation focused on maximum profit exclusively.
Haven’t since overwatch 1 came out
The Blizzard that made good games died many years ago.
It’s like the ship of theseus, but shit. The shit of theseus.
shit of feceus. it was right there, man…
hahaha excellent
FYI, I posted your comment above on !funny@sh.itjust.works, I hope you don’t mind!
Would be foolish not to go patient on it after Reforged. After D2R, I’m not completely writing it off, though.
No, I’ve been actively boycotting them for many years by now.
I broke my own rule and actually preordered something – Diablo 4. Huge mistake.
Well, that’s on you, really. :D
Why pre-order something digital? I never understood that.
Two huge mistakes.
The Warcraft III Reforged shitshow was definitely something to behold
The most amazing part was the claim that the in-game soundtrack was reencoded as lossless audio.
I looked at the new audio as a spectrograph and compared it to the original MP3s. Not only were they the same level of compression as the originals, they were the same exact graphs. The same files, renamed from .mp3 to .flac.
That’s some proper gaslighting!
Well yeah - they recorded the MP3s as lossless audio, clearly
No
Signing that one.
I don’t really expect anything good coming from them. To me the likes of Blizzard, Ubi, Bioware, Bethesda, EA etc are shareholder-driven companies, that stopped innovating a long time ago and now only produce and regurgitate the absolute bare minimum slop.
I have been pleasantly surprised on occasion, like for ubi’s Anno 1800, or blizzard’s diablo 2 remake, but they’re few and far between.
I’ve long stopped caring about them, really. From what I’ve heard, the Diablo 2 remaster was pretty good, so it’s likely that Warcraft 2 might actually be a good remaster, too. It’s not like they’re promising a whole world of stuff like they did with Warcraft 3 Refunded.
Me? I ain’t buying it. BRL buying power is shit 🇧🇷 🏴☠️
I still have a lot of old blizzard games on floppy and played wow for years. Based on their behavior and treatment of both their workers and communities, they’ll not see a cent from me again until they prove themselves in the long-term. I don’t pirate so also no unofficial numbers from me, either
I don’t think trust is at issue here. If the game sucks, don’t buy it! There’s millions of other games to play.
There is reason to hope Blizzard will turn around. Bobby Kotick is gone. Microsoft owns the company now. Say what you will about Windows but Microsoft tends to take pretty good care of the gaming franchises they own. I think a lot of AoE fans are pretty happy with how that’s going. I could be wrong though?
Halo.
Are we talking about the same microsoft? Last i heard starfield kinda suck, redfall suck, studio got shutdown, tango rush pretty fine but studio got shutdown too.
