PSGamer: After 15 years of playing first-person shooters, assaulting Nazi fortresses, defeating entire alien races and buying the new £50 Call of Duty map pack each and every year, I meet the release of new first-person shooters with an indifferent sigh these days. My desire to play shooters was on its death bed, its relatives gathered around to say their last goodbye’s and squabble over who gets what in the last will and testament.
That all changed when I played Overwatch at a preview event last week. It took just under 2 hours for Blizzard’s up-coming game to get me excited about a first-person shooter again for the first time in years.
Activision Blizzard ordered to pay $23.4M for patent infringement involving popular games.
I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.
Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.
Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!
Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.
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.
I would care if Overwatch wouldnt be a multiplayer only game like Destiny or Titanfall.
Overwatch sounds intriguing. Just to have all the characters represented from the very beginning. Feels refreshing. I'm tired of purchasing DLC to experience the complete game.
The videogame industry is full of a bunch of copycat's who are all stuck on trying to make the next COD so they can charge 120 bucks a year for rehash. My hope is that overwatch and battleborn buck this trend and make something that is not only worth our money but worth our time.
Wish there were some sort of single player in this universe. Don't care much for online play these days.
