>>732753232
They already took the first step when they disbanded Blizzard NORTH.
Then they did a fusion with ActiVision.
Finally, instead of taking a stance, they slowly allowed corpo culture to infest them.
All I can do now is simply replay the older games.

It's sucked for a long time, I'm already at the apathy stage. Since woke has been around since 2012, and most properties started caving around 2015; I've had a long time to learn to let go of everything. There's still lots of no woke shit to have fun with.

oh yeah they also ruined the mystique of the angels by having to make Tyreal a black dude for no reason

>>732755594
Aesthetics aside, I would argue that the terrible gear system, real money auction house and neutered skill trees were the biggest problem with that game. I could have dealt with the MLP graphics if the gameplay was as good as D2, but it was not.

>>732755713
Diablo was all about aesthetics and ambiance The gameplay was terrible they pandered to the worst element of the players that just wanted to loot grind by nuking everything off screen as fast as possible.
Oh yeah they removed the skill teee system which was in the game just before release that would have added depth and longevity to the gameplay and released it with the freestyle you can use any ability bullshit.
Atrociously bad game design.

diablo 3 should have been like souls, The Japanese ended up making bank off souls likes most likely inspired by Diablo ironically.

>>732755973
Back during early Diablo 2 previews (that have been lost to time) the game they showed was more adventure like. After Diablo 2 i naturally assumed the next game would be full TPS gameplay like souls.
That seemed an obvious progression. I felt making d3 yet another top down iso arpg was a regression and the same thing with sc2.
It basically wasn't innovative and was pandering to a minority of retro enthusiasts in the early days of the retro gaming craze.

>>732756479
Was Starcraft 2 actually good though? I remember the hype surrounding it but no one seems to talk about it anymore.

>>732756642
if you wanted to play through a fun sp campaign with lots of new units and fun gameplay mechanics, yeah.
But none of it was really ground breaking also almost all of the new units and gameplay doesnt feature in the mp because esports faggots whinged and cried about "balance" and deviating from starcraft brood war.
So the end result was a very boring mp game that tried to emulate broodwar with better graphics but at the same time felt like some other monstrosity eg running death blobs into each other as the units tended to blob together.
They then continually nerfed anything fun out of the gameplay every time an esport fag cried. Creating one boring as shit sweat fest of no fun allowed

>>732756642
Last interesting RTS campaign to be released and its been what, 12 years? Longer? Warcraft 3 was good enough to nearly kill the RTS genre off and Starcraft 2 is the last big budget RTS with a full campaign and any-hour multi-player available though the Arcade doesn't have the custom game quality and variety of Warcraft 3.

Still angry about Reforged, me and buds I've been lifelong friends with would still be playing custom games to this day if not for MicroActiBlizzard.

I played the shareware version of warcraft 2 when it came out and got diablo 1 before the battlenet version.

Blizzard started getting stale with Burning Crusade and started falling apart with Cataclysm. Mists of Pandaria wasn't the first nail in the coffin

only /v/edditors are hurting over what's been going on over the last few years

Personally I fucking love to see it
It's the perfect example why you should never ever hire retarded fans. Especially not if your fanbase is made up of fucking loser neets that play MMORPGs all day long.

You know, Hiroshi Yamauchi was completely right when he let anyone design games but gaming fans.

If you think Blizzard is actually woke, because they hire some blue haired fags, and put wizards in wheelchairs you are actually retarded. Here's some shit Blizzard did in recent years, while going "woke":
>When a player said "free hong kong" in an interview, Blizzard banned him and removed his price money
>They fire 200 people, about a week before announcing "highest ever record earnings".
>Hired Frances Townsend as VP for corporate affairds and Chief compliance officer. Townsend formerly worked in the bush adminestration and is on the record as defending torture as a good tool for gaining valuable information
>Hired Brian Bulatao as Chief Administrative Officer, he was Chief operating officer at the fucking CIA under Donald Trump prior to this.
>Hired a Union busting firm
>Illegally witheld raises during a union drive
Is that woke? Blizzard, like every other "woke" company is pretending to be woke and you fags are falling for it.
Corporations are not woke. Blizzards leadership is about as anti-woke as it gets. But they virtue signal just enough so that people think they're le epic bacon narwhal heckin wholesome big chungus. And you retards are falling for it. That's the difference between smart right wingers, and you fags. Smart right wingers (Blizzard) will pretend to support all this woke crap, while raking in the money from the wokies and internally running a fucking slave ship, while you retard take the bait at the first sight of empty progressive posturing.

A majority of us are in our 40s and 50s. We don't give a shit about most of the shit you guys do. Those of us that still game just play other games. I never thought WOW was particularly good. I enjoyed overwatch for what it was at the time. Everyone gave diablo 3 shit, but I thought it ended up being a perfectly fine game, even if it was very different from 2 and 1. No interest in 4. I played all of Starcraft II and didn't enjoy it as much as I did SC1 and BW. I have no particular attachments to Blizzard as a company and it is possible to merger with Activision was where the soul left the company. So your outrage bait is almost 20 years too late.
Your image of orcs in lipstick and nose rings infers you want us to feel a particular way specifically regarding political shit, but I don't give a shit about that either.

Vanilla WoW had a thousand guilds with some variation of "Naga stole my bike" or "Dirty Stinking Nagas" and that was fine for years. Also it had RP slave auctions with negros in Stormwind.

Wokeness isn't a binary yes/no thing, it's like a poison that initially starts of barely noticeable or a mild annoyance, but eventually builds up to become a major annoyance or even extremely detrimental to its host.

Pretty much this, I dont care about Blizzard anymore. It's not worth getting mad over. I'd rather just hear about them dissolving at this point.

>>732762357
The hardest mechanic in Vanilla was tard wrangling 39 people for 6 hours to get anything done. Then watching half of them drop out because AV popped or they didn't get the drop from the boss they wanted.

>>732762173
In reality it's just misplaced nostalgia for when they were still in their late teens/early twenties. They need a scapegoat for why they're suddenly old and depressed and 'woke' game companies make for a childishly simple culprit.

>>732753232

For me it was everything after Wotlk (Cataclysm, Diablo 3, etc).
Which now checking back exactly coincides with when Activision bought Blizzard.

Every stupid game and story decision after that was so retarded, especially when they went back and enshittified the vanilla world's atmosphere.

>>732762357
nta but lfr mechanics are generally so undertuned that they might as well not exist
meanwhile you see the occasional lfr boss where you actually need to do the mechanic like razageth (stand in the cloud so you don't get pushed to death) and it filters 90% of players

The only raids that matter because M+ gives better gear than the other difficulties. Retail is so shit, and it is definitely not because its "too easy".

this is revisionist bullshit, one of the very first things you see the orcs do in the game is sacrifice human civilians for no reason.

>>732764103
Many reasons.
>ship of theseus (modern WoW)
>devs grow out of or get bored initial creation (XIV speedrunning end of Hydaelyn/Zodiark story)
>new management/ownership demands changes (late Wrath-WoD era WoW)
>power creep to keep players engaging with new content (countless gachas and other MMOs)
>>732764171
Most of them don't want to treat WoW like a job, and mythic is the most demoralizing thing ever when you're in that situation. There is no inevitability since gear progression is near 0 after a few weeks, you're just waiting to see if maybe Blizzard decided to nerf the raid if your guild is on a wall. Quitting mid-DF immediately improved my quality of life, MMOs are a fucking black hole.

>he said after compulsively entering a blizzard thread to ritualpost

For me it was wow, that done it. I could not comprehend how that game could be fun and still don't to this day. Never played it.

Back in the day blizzard was kinda special to me, they could do no wrong. It has long since changed.

I spent so much time looking at the diablo and warcraft 2 manuals with the concept art in them. That pretty much got me into drawing. Nowadays with all the gay shit it is a sad state of affairs.

But like for most people in the this thread I do not even think about Blizzard's rotting carcasse anymore, its been long dead.

Like the first thing Thrall does too, is genocide all the natives where he lands, so he can found Orgrimmar.

It's kind of funny how much angst the orcs express over their horrible war crimes against the night elves or draenei or whatever, but Thrall did the exact same shit without any demonic influences involved and nobody gives a shit.

>>732767819
The whole campaign Thrall is at odds with Grom who represents to old ways, and it ends with Grom dying and agonizing over borrowing demon strength. The campaign spells out pretty clearly the new direction for orcs.

>>732768097
well yeah, the natives were filthy fucking centaurs, quillboar, and thunder lizards. not respectable people like the night elves and draenai.

Since it's happened to every other company I'm indifferent. Don't even remember why I liked Warcraft.

>>732768097
nobody gives a shit because everyone in that world does it. maiev literally has a line about the night elves wiping out several races and they never drank demon blood. the tauren were on the verge of being wiped out. genocide and extinction are common among all the peoples of warcraft.

>>732768215

Getting a sample of everything kind of puts into perspective their flaws and what you personally want from the genre. I wish PoE 2 felt as good as Diablo 4's combat. For all the problems of D4, the core gameplay loop is like the one thing it got right.

>>732768304
"giving a shit" is orcs' whole shtick. perhaps uniquely, due to metzen being such a giant faggot. all the orc lore for like 15 years or something has been them wanting to kill themselves over how guilty they feel. in fact, blizz literally forced horde players to betray THE TRUE HORDE because blizz things that everyone needs to give a shit. the whole "sylvanas is sooooo evuuul" plotline is a constant stream of everyone giving a shit about how evuuul sylvanas is (but just letting her do it anyway because she's DA WATCHIEF, even though they didn't do that for garrosh)

>>732768215
Yeah, that's a whole lot different from "Thrall spends the whole campaign apologizing," lol.

>>732768626

like, openly admitting they're optimizing the skinner box to rope you in and get you to spend money
of course that's what all companies are doing now and they won't openly brag about it. at the time I think they thought they were flexing with the whole "look how seriously we take this! we're using real world knowledge to make our videogame!"

I remember logging in to one of the expansions, and the intro quest was something like sourfang having surrendered himself to the alliance so that they can execute him because he feels so guilty about all his crimes or whatever. I think that Captain Grim guy made a whole video mocking it, with sourfang trying to kill himself like 7 times before finally suiciding-by-sylvanas while flipping his lifeguard off. maybe it was somebody else, googling this isn't giving any good results. it was really funny, anyway. unlike the actual plot itself, which was gay.

Blizzard is the example of this decades faggot pushed politics ruining media and storytelling and killing future potential of storytelling for shortterm profits.

They needed to make Warcraft 4 a decade ago to help make more WoW. The only way people will like the WoW narrative is to have Chromie unbirth reality somehow and basically remake the canon anew MINUS all the faggot "We gotta get along" nonsense and putting the topics that give your game warning labels for horrible concepts and booze back into the game.

If you want to mince words, but the writing is very appologetic and does not mesh at all with what anyone's experience coming from WC 1&2. If you want to get specific it all boils down to Thrall being a human mutt but somehow becoming war chief. He thinks Grom's violence is a liability instead of just being a murder machine. He appreciates Jainas help. Cairne thinks he's real cute saying stuff like "go with honor young warchief". Honor was not in an orc's vocabulary in previous games.
Hell, even Thrall's grunts match his demeanor just read some of the transcripts yourself:

>>732769861
You have not shown me a single instance of Thrall apologizing, lol. Yes, the orcs are a little different now in WC3 compared to the previous two games but that was not the point of contention.
