So have 'the big 3' of Blizzard all crashed and burned at this point? Diablo IV, StarCraft II and WarCraft 3 Reforged all flopped and there are seemingly no plans for sequels at this point. It's looking bleak if you ask me.
>>722129468Reforged flopped hard but SC2 and D4 made lots of money at launch and then fell off.
fatfucks buying WoW Tokens and $100 mounts will keep the company on life support as all of their game programmers and customer support are gradually replaced by AIthey peepee everytime
Reforged was a dud and never even took offSC2 is still a thing but only for the small minority of the same esportshittersD4 sold a bit then cratered and the entire IP is being anchored by D2R who is still active
hey guys hop on wc3 the custom maps are still lively :)
>>722130449>D4 sold a bit then cratered and the entire IP is being anchored by D2R who is still activeD4 still has boatloads of players at all hours. Whales are buying the skins. Keep lying, though.>>722130643>custom maps in Wing Commander 3
War3 never really had a solid competitive scene, it was only famous for its custom game modes. Starcraft 2 got dethroned by AoE2's excellent remasterDiablo 4 definitely did not flop
>>722130449Wasn't D4 supposed to have yearly expansions? What happened to that?
>>722130668For every one D4 player there are hundreds of D2R players and the D2R ladder/non-ladder marketplace is way more active than the D4 one even with no real updates for the past 2 years
I soured on Blizzard once SC2 races were sold as separate game releases and I never bought a product from them after that. My friend bought me Diablo 3 with the expansion and all I remember is champ mobs turning into Laser and Disco lightshows and a retarded unicorn stage. One thing I liked about D3 was that Unique Items appeared on the map and were instance separated but I didn't stick with the game and get to a MF or grind phase like with Diablo 2 and I don't even remember what class I played.Never played WC or WOW before.
>>722130763D4 made over half a billion at launch. I can't imagine D2R racking up that many sales.
>>722129468the SC and WC1/2 remasters were good afaik
Say what you will about the quality of their games, but D4 has made them around a billion dollars. It is not a flop (but it is fucking awful)
>>722129468Starcraft is a stillborn.
>>722130854I can't imagine it costing 1/100th of D4's budget, either. In any case, anon's talking activity.
RTS is a dead genre grandpa, let it go and go play a MOBA
>>722130668>>722130854>>722130892>people make fun of blizzard for the immortal fiasco>they just fix up some thing about immortal and call it D4>whales keep buying skins and call it a great game
>>722131034It's not a great game, but it's at least a scrap that is better than D3. I'll take it.
>>722131079It's better than Vanilla D3, but it's worse than what D3 is now.
>>722130883Warcraft ones were ehhhh/budget as fuck but they were cheap so no one really cared.They did change WC1 a bit to make it a bit better though that much is true.
what kind of fucking retard is playing diablo 4 in 2025
>>722131079it is better than D3, but that's a very low bar
>>722131118I only ever played D3 in 2022. I got 16 hours before I uninstalled it forever. I have close to 2000 in D4. It's better.
>>722131198>it is better than D3i don't believe you
>>722129468Starcraft 2 has sold something like 20 million copies. I'd argue people didn't hate it at the time - but I wouldn't make a SC3 in this day and age. Kids don't have the attention span.Diablo 4 arguably sold more and it's been out for a much shorter period of time.WoW still makes a ton of money.You may not like these games, but they were all money makers. Many studios would kill to earn the revenue that these games, especially D4 and WoW, bring in.
>>722131174When a company only has one worthwhile series, you play what you can get out of it. It's even worse that nobody has made a competitor to the series in 29 years.
>>722131174ContrariansD2R is fairly active, if it were on Steam it'd be easily in the top 15
>>722131305i despise D3, so there's that
>>722131371I argue the second half, because Blizzard's Steam versions are faggoty. We tell people not to buy the Steam version of D4 because it has retardation like no PTR, friends weirdness, and so on.
>>722131371>D2R on steama man can dream...
>>722131534If they put D2R on Steam then literally no one but SC2fags and WoWfags will use Bnet anymoreThey put D3 and D4 on Steam to entice Steamoids to buy it and they don't
>>722131676Nobody uses Steam, chud. GOG is the most popular games store. :3
is the d4 steam and battle.net marketplace compatible?
>>722129468People still buy new Diablo games just to complain about having bought them. Looking forward to another 6 months of crying once D5 comes out.
>>722133009Most of the D4 shitposters played the free beta capped at 20 levels or not at all.>imagine paying Blizzard etc etc>I could tell without unlocking paragon or going to the endgame what it was likeShit like that.
>>722129468it's all slop nowthe only decent one is sc2 because of custom mapsD2R is decent alsothe rest, pass
>>722131758BASED BASED BASED
>>722129468Blizzard has their legacy audience, but that's about it. They're the video game equivalent of a retirement home. They have an aging playerbase that's willing to spend big, but Blizzard will struggle to find a new audience once they're gone.
