Blizzard seems to be about giving their best gaming experience on the platform that is ideal for their games, and I respect that. However, I fear that things may change since the merger with Activision, a company that is about and very good at maximizing profit potential while delivering minimal effort. It's odd that these companies seem to be the polar opposite of one another in terms of business decisions, yet are now one.

Blizzard classy as always. One of the best developers out there. And I don't say that because of PC only stats.

because you can make better games on pc. consoles limit devs big time. Although most publishers are more worried about making money, blizzard wants to make the best games possible.

Well, they gained such a big base already. Why would they risk screwing that over, just to take a shot at consoles?

With this, I guess they'll see how it goes. But if it works for them, I think you'll see more on consoles.

theyve already made most of their games for consoles, except the ones they really couldnt at the time.

All I want is a physical disc release of remastered D2 that doesn't require online check-ins.

Ah, more and fast - the antithesis of careful and good

I've lost complete interest. Too much FOMO with seasons as it is, now it's expansions? No thanks.

Michiel198985d ago

what fomo? everything gets reset each season and you start new characters unless you're playing on the regular servers and then you're already maxxed anway and just need to participate in the new season stuff.

i played only during launch and i found the ones in that battlepass to be absolute dogwater, the only ones that looked somewhat cool were the paid ones in the store and i wont bother with either. The game itself was just so hollow, there were no cool builds cause every synergy was just "x or y skills does more dmg or has this extra effect" almost no experimentation needed, couldnt give a rats ass about armor if the core of the game is boring af.
