i checked the garbage article and it still doesn't clarify or mention Activision whatsoever aside from this sentence "It seems clear that Xbox will be relying on the studio to help shore up its so-so financials as it attempts to "return to growth" by FY27—just two years after its acquisition of Activision-Blizzard resulted directly in 1,900 job cuts and at least one major game cancellation."

A friend of mine gifted me gametime just so that we could play Classic back at its original release, I never even used up the month he gifted me and just stopped playing the moment I noticed that the world just died during the brackets where Cathedral was open. That was the day I learned that the game was truly fucked beyond repair and it wasn't because something that Blizzard did but that the community themselves did.

I've just ended up playing on a few private servers since then and once Turtle announced a shutdown I just swore off the game entirely. I now play the SPP repack with a few personal modifications whenever I get the itch, the game is 10x better without the shitty modern community around to ruin the fun.

What kind of fucking idiot subscribes to the belief that a game development company should have literally no employees but developers in it? That's not how it works. Don't point to Carmack and Romero either, you and I both know Id Software's "glory years" are effectively indie.

What the fuck do any of you parroting they "trimmed the fat" or "cut the dead weight" mean when you say it. You aren't saying anything with meaning. Worse, it's being said with so little variation and in virtually every Microsoft thread that it comes off as astroturfing.

I have a career, I’ve been in my field for fifteen years and understand how this works. They aren’t your friend and you aren’t there for play time either, you’re there to do something for money and that’s it. The problem with a lot of people in the games industry is that they are married to their job and see it as a fun place that is an extension of their personal - when it isn’t. They don’t care if you tell everyone on twitter that you love working there and you spend all your free time working for the company if you aren’t actually pulling your weight in the office.

That seems awfully convenient that it would only be people you think are worthless in a development environment, let alone "can be replaced by ai tools" which is not a thing as pretty much every company on earth is finding out. We know for a fact they threw out highly competent Id Software developers, so the better question is why you think it would only be "worthless people" spared Microsoft's wrath when we have direct, explicit and inarguable evidence otherwise in other branches of Xbox.

I do not need to explain what "inarguable" means.

releasing new wow versions while keeping the dead ones open is making blizzard a lot of money
the people selling gold need accounts to keep their business afloat and blizzard bans them periodically forcing them to buy new subs
they're probably making tens of thousands if not more just from the gold selling business trying to keep their supply chain up

People have no idea how big golden age Blizzard was.

GTA5 is reportedly the most successful modern game of all time, pulling in 500m+ annually easily, even years after release.

World of Warcraft, at its peak, made Blizzard 180 million PER MONTH. Over 2 billion a year. For multiple years. Just from sub costs alone, not counting the in-game services like server and race changes.

That is just WoW in general. The game needs constant patches and expansions or it gets boring. People just want new stuff that plays more like Vanilla instead of whatever the hell slop retail is doing. WoW has NEVER been a game about staying on the same version forever so it makes sense why everyone is sick of the same vanilla fresh servers.

Retail is by far the most popular version of the game

TBC Anni also is more popular than Vanilla Anni

Nowhere close to vanilla and not that popular even with the numbers being heavily padded by alts in p1/2

Nowhere near as much as the Alliance was over Void Elves.

>>745051293
The worst race reveals have actually been the most recent three. Dracthyr (ugly lizards that don't match the games art style, look like something straight out of second life), Earthern (recolored dwarves that can be horde for some reason) and Haranir (fat night elves that can also be horde).

Honestly I think the Alliance got shafted harder with the nugget gnomes.
I suppose it's two entirely different flavors of stupid.

No they are not. Everyone thought they would be the missing link between troll and night elf when they got revealed in TWW. But the faggot writers completely redid they're origin and now they are super ancient night elves who have somehow been on Azeroth longer than normal night elves.

The Bill Cosby rape allegations happened in 2014.
They used this picture out of context on purpose to sell their narrative.

No investigations have returned any corroborating evidence to the sexual misconduct allegations. It genuinely was a hoax, but people were so fed up with Blizzard for their decline in quality that they just didn't care.

Won't work, it's too niche. It's also a series that was completely irrelevant by the time 3 came out, let alone 14 years later.
The beaner Gears of War player is a stereotype that is very real. The MP is also very anti-casual and plays nothing like you'd think a 3rd person cover shooter MP would play like.

For everyone not willing to give money to the deranged individuals at Blizzard, here is the most interesting upcoming servers:
August 15: Emberveil (vanilla 1.12.1 running on unreal engine 5 with proximity chat)

Ill sum it up.
Lil forced shit kid starts reading shit and found something that spooks Mephisto.
Mephisto in the body of Diablo's version of Jesus(because of a nigga moment that was caused by lil shit kid being an inconvenient plot device) finds her.
She starts encanting shit that spooks Jesus Mephisto
Jesus Mephisto chokes and snaps the lil shit kid's neck to the joy of many
Shot of amazon isle.

The expansions writing was unlike anything modern blizz, as in it wasnt totally shit/halfway decent. D4 is improved but still a less fun D3.

>implying 40k fans will touch blizzard dogshit sanitized universe.

if anything the deranged leftys will be more at home within Starcraft then 40k because the way 40k is set up allows for easy gatekeeping. Like if someone comes in with pink rainbow figures thats an automatic fucking redflag and most people will not even bother playing with them or using thier ruleset. They couldn't even get the community to accept a female ultramarine marine because so many female sects that it doesnt make fucking sense. Basically gamesworkshop completely fucking failed to wokify 40k because all the lore around it keeps it grounded and the nerds that run the community and comsume it can spot bullshit the moment things even shift a little in the wrong direction.

from the people behind it:
>Many other projects are using outdated versions of Turtle WoW from a code leak over 2 years ago. They are attempting to replicate content from version 1.17 to 1.18.1, however it is impossible to do so and is resulting in AI slop driven code. We, on the other hand, have the original 1.18.1 version ready to go.

Did you miss it's revival this year?

As unbelievable as it may seem, they had a big overhaul with the update removing the 2 from the title (Big good will push), revamping a bunch of its systems, doing a big story push, resetting the season number back to #1 like a fresh start and adding 5 new heroes at once.

5 new heroes is such a flex if that didnt bring it back to popularity nothing would. But Rivals was celebrated for having the fantastic 4 in one season, split into 2x members per half, and somehow OW managed to 1 up them massively.

It was legitimately a case of

>More likely you too
no i'm genuinely surprised to find out people bought d4. I saw the announce trailer for it and immediately assumed it'd be even worse than d3 which was already bad. I didn't even try out d3's expansion because i didn't trust any of the people who said it was good.

>>745055486
You should've made your name the voice of reason.

Don't bother. I don't even like the word retarded as an adjective but at least half of the #MeToo allegations were legitimately retarded.
When you take away key words like chud and feminism and rape culture you get a bunch of grown adults that have no basic critical thinking and don't know how to use Google and believe in caveman-level social politics where some guy said something and he's more popular so therefore it's right.

10 people took a picture with a framed picture of Bill Cosby so therefore they support rape so much that they proudly advertise it. Proudly advertised it to a secular group at Blizzard until Detective Reddit broke this case wide open and found a picture on Imgur.
