It is still the same game underneath, more or less. Which is why 1) they aren’t removing access to the original game 2) they aren’t changing the game in any overly drastic ways. They went into W3:R intending to remake it because supposedly European and Chinese players told them “do more with it, it doesn’t feel done”, which appears to have been a very bad call.įrom what I can see very important lessons in this regard were learned by Blizz and they know that fucking up a D2 revamp would be death. In all honesty, Blizzard should go down in flames, and a tombstone put above it its name.īy and large I agree with most of your post (about the overall Blizz/Activision situation) but concerning D2 Resurrected I would say that if you do your research you will find that it’s an apples to oranges comparison. I think the acti / Blizzard merger was never going to be a good idea, and years later, we have a shadow of a dev studio that has pretty much all but destroyed its rep that was originally built up.Īnd if Blizzard aren’t that interested in doing great games anymore, (and there is a D2 remake coming still? then after the dumpster fire that is W3, I think its going to take a lot to get people to buy anymore Blizzard games from now on. The problem is, the reputation of Blizzard was built up because of Blizzard North, and all the great games they made. as for WOW, that probably been going down the tube for a long time. What is more, blizzard has basically stopped supporting the game with large updates. And lets face it, Blizzard lost most of their good devs a long time ago, what they have left are pale in comparison.īut I bet the executives at activision will be worried mind, but I do think they have a fair amount to answer for too.įrom the sources I have read, W3 reforged was no way near ready for release either, and yet, the company had an attitude like, “we know this game is bad, but our community will forgive us” maybe its high time to kill the game off and try something new. (starcraft 2 is hit and miss) and the warcraft 3 reforged (total miss)Īlso not really had much to do with WOW these days, So i’m not surprised that people are leaving.

to be honest, blizzard are pretty much dead to me.
