Who says a dud game can't have a video game comeback?
Cyberpunk and No Man's Sky have to be up there. We're lucky and cursed, equally, to have games that can be updated now.

Jason Hall, currently an indie developer and former Blizzard employee, has been sharing some really interesting stories from his long career in the industry for a while now. Some of them are truly insightful, while others may seem depressing.

and people wonder why we are having mtx in everything. i blame the people who actual buy them.

Both of these titles are on top 5 in my must have list. So does not really matter which one comes first.
Talking about taking that out of proportion. That just means SC is closing in development and means D3 is in middle and needs more work which means more people. And d3 is a way bigger game than sc2. I heard rumors about a sc2 appearance early next year d3 isnt going to show until late 2009 if that.
