"Well folks, the vitriol from the Blizzard forums have almost reached critical mass. Essentially, a lot of newbs bought the game, logged in, played for a bit, left, logged back in, found out all their stuff is gone and have become pissed."
Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."
How about you not hold Blizzcon anymore period. You fucking POS company. I really hope Blizzard would just die.
Microsoft has 'let Blizzard be Blizzard' following the acquisition of the veteran developer according to World of Warcraft's executive producer.
Diablo 4 storefront being a cash grabbing shitshow does unironically attest to that, kudos.
Okay i will be interested if they become old Blizzard but might as well be dead.
Shame most of the people that made Blizzard what they were, have already left a while ago.
Were you expecting Microsoft to hire everyone that had left Blizzard long before they purchased the company...
Microsoft has let the Blizzard company they purchased continue to be the Blizzard company they purchased.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
Mainstream sites will continue to kiss the ass of major publishers
So basically, it's like someone saying "Hey guys, I know a lot of you have been killed off stepping outside, but it's all right there is only a pistol-banger out there. There is no sniper. It's safe to go outside as long as you wear a flak jacket."
And then people step outside...
BOOM!
stopped playing once i heard this was going on. waiting for it to be fixed. dragon's dogma for now
I still think its keylogging. Nothing has suggested otherwise to me.
anytime someone comes up with something new, we find out how they did it within hours. And if it's so widespread... Ya nothing adds up.
The problem is, keylogers #1 target is now battle.net and Diablo 3.
I know the Diablo games are bad ass and all, but why are earth are people putting up with this B.S.? I don't understand why people aren't demanding their money back in droves. I love D2 and couldn't wait to play 3, that is untill they announced the always online shit. I refuse to support such a thing. First they force you to play online and then they can't even give you a secure environment to play in. When are the class action lawsuits gonna start being filed? I mean the masses picked EA and Bioware apart because they didn't like ME 3 ending! Yet gamers just sit by idly and get raped by Activision and Blizzard. Just makes no sense.
