I kind of feel like the giant, triple a game dev who was completely aware of their customer’s wants and totally ignored them to make cash of off a cheap Chinese garbage phone game and fuck everyone in the ass who bought the 200 dollar blizzcon ticket was in the wrong here, not some fag with a fannypack.

Didn't tinder do a out of season april fools this year

Diablo 2 was a labor of love which will never be surpassed. It left an indelible imprint in core Diablo fans and they will never forget how they were FUCKED by nu-Blizzard. He could say anything and I would forgive him.

No, he was fucking based.

what a fucking legend

Completely valid, though. Blizzard had already joked about something like that during April 1st of a previous year.

Honestly, I don’t prescribe to this nublizzard hate as much as I probably should. I genuinely have fun playing BFA (primarily PvP but still). I just. The game is obviously never again going to have the same values and feeling as classic because times change, so why try to make it like that?
No meme and no hate, I think it’s great people are so passionate about classic and I really hope everyone has fun when classic comes out, I just want to have about it.

Because I judge a man on his actions. He could guzzle tofu flavored cum by the gallon, but on that day when he spoke, he had the voice of the diablo fans.

And if bluzard had listened, understood the problem, instead of buying Jason sheers toadying, they wouldn’t have given Kotick just cause to go axe murderer though their ranks.

his mouth isnt open and hes not a fanboy who sucks up

He posts on here, so at the very least he should be aware of the S O Y stereotype.
For starters, basedfags wouldn't have had the balls to be that assertive in public.

Since this has become a big meme, there's a chance someone will try to repeat this at next Blizzcon. Blizzard likely knows this as well. How will they prevent such an embarrassment from happening again?

I don't think so

Doesn't that go both ways tho? They're not entitled to your wallet and you're not entitled to be pandered to with every single product in an IP. That'd be like if someone bitched at Nintendo for releasing Super Mario Kart instead of putting all those resources to Super Mario World 2.

That line came after another fan asked if there was any chance Diablo Immortal would come to PC. They said no chance, and the booing that ensued prompted the Asian guy to ask the infamous question.

Makes me wonder how this years blizzcon will be like.

I hope they lock it down, and seal themselves in their little LGBT mobile trash bubble. They can dictate how gaming will be to their last 3 remaining fans.

It's in the facial features and it's a real science- low-t levels manifest on the face. I don't have the image, but it's fucking real. The blizzard guy is normal t-levels. You literally have to be a low-t faggot to not see that his t-levels aren't average.

obviously not, why would they fire 800 people because some bald retard asked a meme question at a pr event?

Seriously, is there any other medium that has the retarded levels of brand loyalty as vidya? The only thing that comes close that I can think of is capeshit followers

1.They would laugh off last year accident
2.They would annonce Diablo Immortal for PC for their 'core auditory' and 'hardcore fans'
3. All people who would get to ask questions would be actors hired beforehand so no more toxic gamer questions.

Hand out pen and paper for people with comments and questions, and have someone select between them for the Q&A session.
Pls don't read this Blizzard

Not directly, I mean. Like, could what he said have sparked enough bad PR that eventually led to the layoffs. That's what I meant.

>blizzards is still making it
Of course. They werent going to stop only a newfag or retard like you would think that. But lets not forget how hard they plummeted in market, the ammount of layoffs, they massive backlash from the diablo community and true diablo fans after the bald going cakled them out and how they went into full damage control about it with " w-we are m-making other diablo related project g-guys, plz dont hate"

Snyder symbolism-kino

What's keeping them afloat right now anyways?
Are they basically suckling off the tit of Korean SC1 eSport which they themselves once tried to snuff out?

Diablo 3 got loads of hate too and yet is still a success, this faggot’s words mean nothing to us

no, but his question reflected the general fan sentiment to the announcement, which couldn't have helped Blizzard avoid the layoffs

Chinese.
There is a big playerbase in China. That's why they keep aiming to them instead of their western audience. Chinese just earns them more money and chinese don't care about quality, story or anything like that like westerners.
They are perfect drones for milking.
Just look at what types of games they play and what PC games make it to month's top10.

Shut it fag it's from beating the shit out of cum guzzling shills for his tickets to the show

not likely, it was just admin staff that got fired. probably just redundancies and restructuring, considering they hired a bunch more staff in other places around the same time.

He wasn't gentle, but challenging someone on a legitimate point isn't unnecessarily rude. You shouldn't have to apologize before you criticize someone. "No offense, but..." is more insulting than just stating your complaint.

It's not entitlement to voice your dislike of a shitty game you corporate cockmonger.

Imagine if chinks were actually humans.

its not like that at all. your analogy would only work if mario kart was a shit mobile game, and also mario kart wasnt made by nintendo and instead outsourced to communists that make shit mobile games.

It was necessary for Blizzard to get out of their lazy ass and change their POV on the current industry. Whenever it was a good or bad decision we wont know until their next project sadly. Perhaps it was the slap Blizz needed to wake up, perhaps it was another in the coffin.

That's an artist's rendition of the event.

It's important to remember he was a Blizzard fan and therefore a spineless, tasteless faggot before that moment.
He is praised because the Immortals reveal broke the conditioning. No one expects anything approximating self-respect and integrity at these events, but he stood up and said what many were thinking despite the inevitable shills going "muh incel misogynist gamer rage" or "boo-hoo these wealthy soulless companies just want to sell you hot garbage AND get their cocks sucked for it, why are you so mean?" in response.

What a fucking asshole

My companion drew in the dank, cold air of the convention. It seemed to... strengthen him. I stood in the doorway between light and dark. What was left of my sanity implored me not to enter, I knew there was no chance of a new Diablo game that would be good. But that voice was just a whisper now. As we worked our way down, deeper and deeper into the convention, I began to see a change in my companion. He seemed to be gaining strength. I could hardly see in the gloom, but my companion seemed to know the way. We came at last to a great hall.

Indirectly is ABSOLUTELY true. Morihame retiring meant that Kotick wanted to take a chainsaw to the ranks anyways. if Blizzard had been performing well and growing, and managing their budgets better it might have been delayed

Here's what he DID do. Blizzard went on a MASSIVE hiring spree in 2017. They literally spent millions of dollars adding people to payroll.

gamesindustry.biz/articles/2017-08-11-blizzard-to-launch-global-diversity-and-inclusion-initiative

And here's evidence of some of the results:

business.linkedin.com/talent-solutions/blog/diversity/2017/how-blizzard-increased-its-number-of-female-interns-by-166-percent-in-one-year

A lot of the new hires were PR, CSR, advertising, community relations, quite a bit in Esports, that sort of thing. They even added an executive position. They hired all the devs they could, but that's not anything new.

Note that not all of the hires were diversity hires. Part of the strategy is that you advertise for woke shit, and you get lots of free good press for your company.

So, look at what Blizzard was actually MAKING in 2017 to now. Overwatch was out in 2016. No new games. The starcraft remaster. WOW subs continue to leak. A big push into esports.

So the situation you have is that they're increasing expenditures massively on support staff, while not being anywhere near making any games that needed that support staff. Bald boy did jack shit to create that situation. Esports failing, and requiring a "restructuring", which means dumping the old retards and trying out new ones. Again, nothing to do with this guy.

TBC.

Sorryba the hutt.jpg

stop licking corporate ass. Dude had legit concerns after the bullshit blizzard presented.

Cont.

The REAL thing is that bilzzard was COMPLETELY blindsided by the reaction. Blizzard thought there would be some Yea Forums trolls, maybe some disappointment, but they'd be ok enough with it.

They had shit like this:

youtube.com/watch?v=YwVaqS_bd-8

Here's evidence of their surprise. Yes, I know it's fucking Kotaku, but it's a direct interview, and also gives an indication of the press's reaction.

web.archive.org/web/20190403042346/https://kotaku.com/blizzard-says-it-wasnt-expecting-fans-to-be-this-angry-1830204721

So, we have a company spending TENS OF MILLIONS on community relations, increasing it's staff, and they get completely blindsided.

So Kotick sees this the Tofu Titan and the articles, asks "How the fuck are we spending so much money, and getting this kind of result? You have no new games out so you couldn't' have been distracted. You have loads of resources, human, financial, technical, you have your own forums, and people dedicated to reddit, and your own convention." He double checks and sees that they're fucking years away from their next major release, but still adding advertising people.

So from there he lets Blizzard know, cut costs or else. Blizzard makes an effort, offers "learn to code" paid sabbaticals to try to drop headcount, but they don't really do much. A couple months later, Kotick keeps his word this time and goes on a torching spree.

t. Santa Monica fag. Don't believe a damm thing I say. Double check my work and prove me wrong if you like.

Mad enough to bitch to Jason Scheer, who wrote shit about entitled gamers.

You're right, they're not entitled to make stuff consumers want. So they shouldn't complain when it doesn't sell and they go under. But we all know how that'll go, it'll quickly become "entitled gamerz made my game fail"

Please please please somebody post the video.

The thing is, it would be so easy to calm people by saying "yes, we're working on diablo 4, but we didn't have shit to show yet, DI is a side project to bring the franchise to a larger audience. But don't worry long time fans, we'll keep working on out mainline products and be sure the time invested is only to make sure what you get to play is even better than what you have already experienced from your beloved arpg and spend countless hours slaying hoardes of demons with amazing heroes in the dark fantasy world of Diablo".

But they didn't! Instead it just looked like they made a horrible cashgrab and forgot entirely about making a good game by reskining an already existing chineese garbage mobage, and then proceeded to kill any promise of D4 happening any time soon, when people had just spent hundreds of dollars to visit blizzcon and get some fucking info on new games instead of throwaway projects designed to milk retards with minimal effort.

They needed to own their mistake, there was no damage control, they were completely out of touch and acting like the problem didn't exist was the worst possible reaction, they just weren't prepared, there was no contingency plan because they expected everyone to eat whatever garbage was thrown at them like always.

Diablo immortal was a tumor, and they didn't cut it, the entire companny is now filled with cancer and it's gonna be really hard to redeem themselves.

yeah I could imagine a bunch of the staff for those being unnecessary at this point, most of owl's stuff is already set up.

They had MILLIONS of dollars spent that year alone in customer relations and PR people to deliver whatever kind of message they wanted. They don't get a pass for that.

thanks doc

Perfectly justified considering Blizzard rudely shat all over Diablo fans.

Unironically based as fuck

They don't get a pass for warning people ahead of time to not get their hopes up? For directly telling people D4 wasn't on the menu? Are you retarded? What kind of point are you trying to make?

No love for effortposting? The TL/DR is that he exposed Blizz's advertising marketing, PR and CSR departments, both execs and grunts as incompetent.

>yeah I could imagine a bunch of the staff for those being unnecessary at this point, most of owl's stuff is already set up.

They decimated the entire division for not delivering. Including the chief executive of esports.
