Why tf would you?
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!
Aw thanks.
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
Two huge mistakes.
Why pre-order something digital? I never understood that.
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.
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.
No.
Nope.
of course not.
Boycotting Blizzard is all about their shitty behavior as a company since long before the games they made turned bad too.
Haven’t since overwatch 1 came out
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 🇧🇷 🏴☠️
Would be foolish not to go patient on it after Reforged. After D2R, I’m not completely writing it off, though.
I guess they could make good games, it’s in their interest, I’m not going to give them money either way.
