Honestly its half believable because THERE IS STILL NO MENTION OF OMNIC LORE.

Surely you can at least appreciate the effort. That user clearly spent a good few hours putting it together, the least we can do is spread it so more people can see his hard work.

Saying that WoW has less than a million subscribers ruined the LARP. I get that it's fun to pretend it's dead and all but that's ridiculously low.

I could buy three million maybe but he took it too far. If it could keep six million throughout WoD then it's not gonna fall to less than one million because of BfA, especially not when the success of Legion brought a decent amount of players back.

Also lol at him saying mentioning XIV is banned in the office because of this. That's just straight up fanfiction writing there.

The same reason I have WC3 and I haven't bought it

Oh yeah I forgot some random addon maker said some ridiculous number and then admitted it was bullshit the next day. He also said it WAY too early in the expansion for it to even be believable that any real number of players would have quit yet because of it.

We're really supposed to believe like 90% of the playerbase, which mostly continued to stay subbed through all of Cata and Wod, quit in the first two months of BfA. That sure does sound believable.

>pokemon leak ON Yea Forums was confirmed
yeah keep dreaming blizzcuck

It was already unbelievable but the "Classic devs look like the happiest devs" was when any semblance of illusion broke.
Is it true? Probably but in context of everything else, it is the perfect "Yea Forums approved" scenario.
It was deliberately crafted because Yea Forums likes classic and such would play to their taste.

Ion Hazzikostas called me into his office yesterday and then proceeded to beat the shit out of me because I installed the free trial of XIV to try it out. He screamed "HOW DARE YOU TRY PLAYING THE SUPERIOR, AMAZING GAME THAT IS XIV INSTEAD OF THE GARBAGE THAT WE, ACTIVISION BLIZZARD, SHIT OUT! YOU'RE LUCKY I DON'T MURDER YOUR WHOLE FAMILY!!!" and then he shit on the floor, picked it up with his hands and smeared "I love watching black men fuck my wife" on the wall with his own excrement.

This is modern Blizzard.

Impeccable logic.

>head WoD and legion retail wow dev plays wow on a FUCKING TABLET

Are you kidding? Classic is gonna be a shitstorm.

>axe entire starcraft project because a starcraft warchest skins dlc sells poorly
lmao this is complete bs i swear Yea Forums gets dumber

He used it as a mouse. Still dumb but mouse controls are generally not what people complain about when it comes to WoW.

WoW had 1.7M last fall and I doubt people have subscribed since then. Considering last fall I and my guild were still playing and now all of us are unsubbed, anecdotal evidence suggests fewer people are playing.

Did it now? Are you sure about that?

yeah

You forgot to include the part where that same person admitted it was inaccurate a day or two later. They THOUGHT that it was revealing sub numbers but it wasn't.

>Starcraft RTS is dead
>Blizzard North-esque Diablo is definitively gone forever
>World of warcraft classic is the last hope (Of which they are fucking up excessively with layering alone)
I don't think there is anything left really. The remasters are nice and all but all new content is mobile game tier.
I used to fantasize about going to Blizzcon as a kid and now that I am 28 all I think about is how much of a parasite Activision is.
The demise of Blizzard started in 2007 and slowly ate away all talent in the company throughout the years. They used to be my favourite developers in the world (and arguably their old games are still the best of all time) but now I only think about them in a negative light.

this is embarrassing

Shame too, Reaper was my fav character in the short time I played. The teleporting felt nice.

That's probably one of the more believable comments on the whole thing. Most gaming companies now days make their money on shit like lootboxes, frivolous cosmetics, ect. So I can easily see a company owned by Activision completely getting rid of a game because the loot boxes didn't bring in money.

Based.

I would agree with you but they turned soldier 76 gay out of nowhere.

Wait, hasn't Blizzard been firing an absolute ton of the Esports people and cancelling most of the Esports shit in general? Those posts make it sound like they're still going full steam ahead.

Did he start writing it before the news broke and forgot to update it?

It doesn't matter if it's real or not, Blizzard should be shat on at all costs. They are our enemy.

What about classic?

Why would layering even matter for FFXIV? Outdoor zones outside of Fate trains and hunt are completely dead, there's a loading screen every 10 meter, and outside of main storyline you can sit in capital city 24/7 and queue for everything, do 90%+ of the content without ever befriending a single person just through automated matchmaker. And now they've even added the ability to move between servers completely freely, with the only exception not being able to sell stuff on other servers' marketplaces.

TL;DR

t. mad blizz shill

sounds like the only info about the classic team was that their shareholders are going to give the reins to whoever makes more money
retail vs classic

This shit is strict confirmation bias for retards who want something to point at and validate their doomsaying and shitposting.

user...

Six months from now, after the initial hype dies out and Classic loses 90% of the playerbase, the game will still have more players than every single other MMO on the market (BfA included) put together. Can't wait for all the tears.

It's really not that much better though in retrospect.

I actually want for WOW to get scrapped because it has character I am ttached to and who I don't want to get killed so I would rather prefer the whole world of warcraft gets to put down instead.
That would be better than witness current story anyway.
I know Christie Golden or other writers don't read Yea Forums as it has too many negativity but in any case I want them to know that their stprytelling as well as how they approach character development sucks.

Is it just me or is /pol/ seriously losing influence?

I HOPE TO GOD THIS ACTUALLY HAPPENS. Diablo was dead to me anyway after they eliminated Blizz North and released the garbage that was D3, but this would just be the absolute most hilarious frosting on the shit cake. So bad it'd actually at least provide real entertainment.

I'm glad to have that whole thread saved, because it mixed near future and multi-year stuff so we'll get to see whether it was all made up fairly soon. If a bunch checks out it'll be a wild ride until 2021.

Which is funny considering how much homofurry and futa porn WoW has.

LMAO seething anti-XIVers what else you got in your XIV is gay folder?

Their storytelling used to be fine but Golden was a fanfiction writer who got put on the dev team. Who the fuck lets that happen?

When you beat the baddie angel at the end of Reaper of Souls you're so powerful that Tyrael starts shitting his pants just by looking at the raw power emanating from you. If anyone except demons ends up being the baddie of Diablo 4, it will be the Diablo 3 protagonist.

IF this is an unofficial float for Pride that's fine, whatever. If this is an official float for Square-Enix, however, they can go fuck themselves.
Bombs and Mogs are not meant to mate.

it's part of the reason they throw the tranny thing around so much. Literally haven't seen a single fucking tranny in game. They are like 0.01% of the population which means MAYBE there's one on your server.

Dude, you're supposed to wait until September to start raging incoherently about not being able to raid because half of your static quit and there's not enough people on your server to play with, it's not healthy to cry about a game killing your game before it even kills it, you still have two months to enjoy it before it dies, so at least look forward to that.

Only first mission of the bonus orc campaign was available at launch because they didn't have time to finish it before the launch and patched it in later on. Arthas vs. Illidan """cinematic""".

The Overwatch 2 section is so blatantly obviously fake if you’ve ever listened to even one of Jeff Kaplan’s interviews about the development and intention of Overwatch.
No one except people who never played Overwatch cares why teams can mix and match heroes and villains, the team openly states the actual in game matches aren’t canon and game balance does not reflect lore at all, and as for character designs and age difference it’s all just rule of cool. McCree is designed almost 1 to 1 off a piece of concept art for Starcraft 2 they had laying around, Soldier 76 is from a crayon drawing Metzen made when he was 10 years old. They don’t need to panic to try and explain why McCree’s age is all over the place because no one except actual autism spectrum disorder people on Yea Forums give a shit
This isn’t me defending blizzard or Overwatch, mind you, just calling out blatant complaining disguised as ‘source: dude trust me’ for what it is

We won't be even able to kill Sylvanas for good. That is what the worst.
Even if we kill her in the raid she still has one more resurrection so she will just get back to lifewill say something mean and fuck off to somewhere where we can't get her.
I hate this about modern Blizzard.
Also Golden is not fine. Her fucking Anudin who is a Messiah behing Plot armor levels that have not bees seen before.

Wouldn't suprise me that much honestly
If they weren't putting any effort into making D4 outside of concept art when they showed Immortal then they might have started rushing the development to please players and shareholders. So to rush the game they use the engine and mechanics of their other games so they can shit out the game after a year or so

But before Immortal we'd have said they weren't THAT stupid to do a mobile phone game and then launch it with the most god awful mishype and presentation ever too right? I mean even seeing blizzavision going down the shitter would anyone really have predicted
>DO YOU GUYS NOT HAVE PHONES??
like really? I mean on the one hand yeah it seems retards but on the other hand we seem to be dealing with legit out of touch suits who are completely insulated and in fact disdainful of the fanbase. And that has happened before, if a company culture gets bad enough then everyone stops bringing the boss news they don't want to hear, and the boss can then go driving right off a cliff and genuinely for real be surprised, because nobody wanted to be the messenger who'd be shot for being the messenger. Bubbles amongst the powerful happen, the Emperor's New Clothes wasn't just a joke it was commentary.

And I can really see some exec thinking "we're going to pioneer a new genre this is just what people will be excited by fresh and new."

I mean shit, in the hands of a genuinely competent company I can even see a First Person ARPG possibly being interesting. I don't want it done to diablo, and I don't think modern Blizzavision is at all competent so it'd be a cluster fuck. But I wouldn't mind seeing others experiment with it necessarily.

i swear to god if they fuck up Diablo 4 even more than 3 i'm going home!

>It's a common fantasy trope that no technological progress happens despite hundreds or thousands of years passing
Eh, isn't that genuinely justified? We went thousands of years with no particular technological progress, and when it did happen it was often extremely isolated and didn't spread or start to self accelerate. Also appeared unevenly around the world.

And that's IRL. If you can just lean on magic I can see that really inhibiting tech, because the elites won't feel the same drive. Everyone will be focused on magic stuff instead, why try to invent a lightbulb vs inventing a more effective glow spell? If, IF tech managed to get going, then the combo of magic and tech could be incredible, but I could see it being less likely to hit that critical mass.

Hearthstone has always been animated like that, though yeah there is for sure less action in that one.

Thing is I would place the world of Diablo probably around the 1200 AD or somewhere close to that due to the type of buildings and what looks to be a caste system of Government. Given that they were that technologically advanced already I would assume that they would reach the industrial age a lot quicker with the help of magic.
The only thing I could think of that would stunt technological growth would be constant war and fighting supernatural creatures. After 1000 years of peace though? Fuck. We went through an enlightenment in this world with just 200 years of "peace" or whatever.

The fact you used the term static in proves this false. You need some knowledge about ffxiv otherwise you would call it a raid group not static. Classic is dead on arrival, you thought you wanted it but you didn't

The ult seems kind of crap though, I mean if you already killed 2-3 players to revive them as bots you pretty much already beat them. It only seems okayish if you trade kills with each other. Situational as all hell.

This is what happens when your studio gets chronic brain drain.

Also bear in mind that the competitor has made a full fledged expansion in less time that it has taken WoW to remake a 15 year old game that already exists.

It only takes one person to say the emperor has no clothes.

Regardless if this is true or not, it is probably true that Blizzard thinks of RTS as a dead genre, which is really sad to think about. When they made the first Warcraft there almost was no RTS genre, they just made a game they wanted to make and that's it. Nu-Blizzard is all about investors, this industry got too big

It feels like people are generally playing videogames less

So why can't you talk about it in /vg/?

cope shill

starcraft 2 was a decent base
when the second expansion went wrong, the third was the last chance

the community went absolutely crazy to figure out every little intricate detail that made broodwar such a long lived game and served it to blizzard in a professional manner

the response was essentially a simple, nah our way is best

thats when sc2 died

Budget cuts, cuts everywhere they do not care.

Because people can't accept that people who want attention will (shock) attempt to get attention and to ignore those who try to get attention over on /vg/.
So basically no reason, because that shit happens on Yea Forums too.

source:dude trust me

how about YOU go to /vg/ if you love it so much

I'll give Blizzard credit for fixing the abomination that was Diablo 3's launch, and some parts of WoW have been enjoyable since Cata. Starcraft 2 was sort of fun in 2011.

But holy shit is it a company running around with its head cut off. They can't decide if they want to make fun/casual games, esports games, or mobile games. They can't decide if they want to make games that generate revenue from retail sales, games that generate revenue from subscriptions, or games that generate revenue from lootboxes. They can't decide if it's a good idea to expand to new audiences by making games that reinvent existing IPs into new genres or to remaster games that already released that were beloved by their core fanbase.

In 2015 they were the market leader in MMOs, RTS, ARPGs, and Online TCGs. Overwatch would have an extremely well-received launch, and HotS was a pretty good ASSFAGGOTS.

Today, they are hemorrhaging players from WoW and Hearthstone, the RTS genre is dead, they've admitted to defunding development of HotS, the Diablo IP is a smartphone app, and Overwatch has about the same esports viewership as Splatoon 2.

I remember last year a poster predicting the future of video games would be a stadium with 600,000 people sitting at stations, playing a lottery. The winner has to begrudgingly play the game while the other watch.

Same reason classic threads aren't on /vg/

they even managed to make Diablo 3 like that, quite a feat honestly

Go to fireden, look up deleted OP posts, and check out keywords "classic" or "home". You're going to see literally hundreds of deleted Classic WoW threads. Probably the same mod you're calling a Blizzard employee mad about FFXIV for deleting/moving your threads is doing the same to Classic WoW threads, except they're not obsessed with your game and blaming it for your general threads being forced to stay on /vg/.

Startcraft grand strategy W H E N??

I saw Fight Club too

OOF

There is no mod for it?

Investors don't know gaming reality beyond what people tell them, Overwatch being huge was a scam

This game was A grade esport material. Tell me how well it does currently

I kind of wish Vermintide would go this route. I do enjoy the first two a lot and I realize it's less about "loot" and more about the challenge but damn if they didn't have some great feeling weapons in the game.
Though I'd take a Borderlands inspired D&D first person game from any developer honestly.

I just want to play a story focused solo Warcraft game where we would play as some significant character from the Franchise like Anduin or somebody else where we could do all sorts of things and go wherever we want and have choices to make like in Mass Effect 1.
I don't want to be a nobody that is somewhat important but not really.

It was bouncing around top 4 this weekend, even during a Dota Majo. Someone is watching it, though how is anyone's guess.

This is literally fake news.

Magic could also get in the way, because of the role of "scientific paradigms." In short (though you should really read the book if you're interested in this sorta stuff) what's already believed about the world also dictates the kinds of experiments that can be conceived, and the kinds of explanations for experimental results that will be offered or accepted. Since magic is very overt, it's going to really drive the natural philosophy, probably toward further and further refinement of magical technique.
The reason the book is called The Structure of Scientific Revolutions is, people get upset about paradigms that have too many dangling parts. The iconic example is the Ptolemaic/geocentric model of the solar system, which became unpopular because they needed to keep making "ad hoc" changes to the epicycles to keep them in line with increasingly precise measurements. It was only because of general discontent among astronomers that Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo were able to forge ahead with heliocentrism. (Ironically, Galileo's work on relativity demonstrates that neither geocentrism nor heliocentrism are reasonable, but it's understandable that he didn't figure that out.)
Point being, it's only the capacity for the world to be surprising that opens the door for real natural-philosophical change, and this is also going to be tricky in a world that was created by anthropic beings (that is, angels and demons). Scientific revolution is possible because we'll never be right about the world, but the thing that would stagnate us forever would be a world that actually is comprehensible. Since magic is always an expression of people's ontological beliefs (particularly the "elements"), to wonder about natural philosophy in a fictional setting, you have to ask the uncomfortable question--are the authors wrong about the nature of their fictional world? If yes, then all bets are off about "what's possible," and if no, then the stagnation is real.

Yea Forums has received tons of true leaks over the years, especially pre-E3, its just that you idiots only pay attention to the obvious fake ones like the Grinch thing.

this is youtube poop material

Because I'm not the average WoW player, your nitwit. I actually paid more in monthly sub to FFXIV than to WoW since WotLK made me stop caring about WoW. The average WoW player is a fucking stay at home mom collecting pets or some guy in his late 20s who doesn't even play video games anymore, only WoW and LoL with some of his friends (also in late 20s) once a week. These people don't play or care about other video games, and will keep playing WoW no matter what. Do you think some average forty year old woman with five hundred different pets is going to quit WoW over titanforging and lose all her """progress""" over the years to try out a different MMO?

I remember they were so hyped to do that shit last year and then fucking no one but Polaris (aka Disney) was willing to buy up the rights for the league. And now i'm pretty sure Disney just regurgitates old footage to pretend it's relevant on their channel.

Wasn't there some shady stuff with the Battle.net client (or whatever it's called now) that it autoplayed the stream for everyone who had it open, or something like that? I know CS:GO and Dota 2 (maybe?) does it too but you have to open the game to actually get the stream on your screen, big difference

Thanks capitalism yet again.

No they'll quit the game and never come back. That is what has happened to wow over the last few years. The (lapsed) people you're talking about won't play classic again since it's too time consuming or lacks the things they enjoy (pet/tmog/mount collecting, pet battles etc) so you're not going to see a big resubscribe boom. Classic is just going to slowly fizzle out together with retail as more and more people stop caring

That's not a safety issue.

it was heavily implied you retard. and i'm not a fucking retard that still plays world of warcraft in the current year. classic will be dead in less than a year once the normies realize how "hard" it is.

He said he was korean on a twitch stream and did the slant eyes gesture for a few seconds.

The soccer moms etc. won't play Classic, but a shitton of people who quit ages ago and have nostalgia over Classic will. WoW used to be a tremendously popular game. Peaked with over 12 million active subscribers at one point, during a Blizzcon during I believe Catalcysm, they said that over one hundred million WoW accounts (many of them trial, obviously) have been made up to that point. It's literally a game that defined a generation of gamers, and shaped the way MMOs have been made since. Many of these people will come back to try it out again, and a lot of zoomers and others who never played it will come to try it out. Even if 90% of them quit, there will still be a huge numbers of people playing. WoW Classic still has pretty decent chances of dying, because it's made by Blizzard, and Blizzard is an awful company these days, but if they don't fuck it somehow and go OSRS route post-Naxx, it has a fairly decent chance of reinvigorating the MMO genre.

okay buddy retard. enjoy your dead game in less than a year while actual chads who stopped playing wow get laid.

Interesting take. I can see the point about magic getting in the way and also how it's all left up to interpretation in a fictional world through the author's eyes but I still cannot shake the idea that the only way for a fantasy world to not "evolve" quicker into a technological age is for those who are imbued with magic to rule with a tyrannical fist. Now if that was the idea behind the "millenia" of peace that would be an interesting take as I haven't run into too many storylines where magic users were the oppressors.
That being said I suppose Final Fantasy VI through VIII tackled the whole evolution of magic and technology pretty well but outside of a few main industrial cities everything was po-dunk country side. I may have to replay VIII now as that seemed like a more modern take on magic/technology.

Blizzard has done such a pathetic job of reading the tea leaves in the gaming industry that I've lost all hope for them. Luckily, they are just competent enough to, after years of begging, give in to the demands of their playerbase and give us vanilla.

Hopefully, HOPEFULLY, this will turn heads internally and the company gives us the MMO set in the Overwatch universe that they were originally planning. More realistically, Valve uses the DOTA IP to create an MMO set in that universe, and takes gameplay hints from what WoW has done correctly and incorrectly over the years

In hindsight you reminded me, "Oh right, Activision-Blizzard". They would totally maul Diablo to fill in the gap that Destiny left in their lineup.

holy shit what the fuck is this lmao.

Dota setting is trash. I'd much rather Valve creates an actual, internally consistent fantasy setting and gives us a brand new IP MMO, than go with that godawful mishmash that is Dota setting.

With "leaks" like these you can easily see who has never worked in a big office company. Even if this leak is fake, a lot of what that user wrote is descriptions of the status quo and plausible scenarios related to office culture in listed companies.
The evolution of Blizzards teams is not unique. Small teams rely on people taking on multiple roles and having a lot of overlapping roles as well as authority being distributed between more individuals. Once the teams get bigger, people begin perform less roles and establish more traditional hierarchies. Team members and leads curating the hiring process themselves gets replaces by a dedicated HR department. Team leads arent former programmers, artists or designers on the same team but get hired horizontally from other companies and the people who had just a dedicated management education end up being the majority. Ultimately it always leads to the company starting to prep all the structures and hierarchies to attract a buyer or shareholders.
Now imagine the difference in work ethic, morale and output between the following two people: Some nerd they picked up from playing another game, who is allowed to do everything as he sees fit and can easily hop into any sub-team at any point. Some hired clerk that got snagged from art school, is underpaid and isn't even invited to the design meetings, because why would an art monkey have any input on game systems.
Sure I am only guessing how the internal systems at Blizzard work, but judging from what is publicly available information on hiring practices and compay structure, stories of verified former workers and applying experience in working in such companies, I'd say the leak and what I wrote is closer to the truth than Blizzard would ever like to admit.
All this comes before even talking about the status quo. Do your own research about player estimates. From what I can see people who pretend everything is fine are delusional.

And let this be a lesson to other game devs. When you invite too many basedboys, zoomzooms, and SJW women into your company it will eventually collapse under its own oppression. Then the quality dips on all your shit and the top gets more greedy and here we have it. Wiggling JPEGs.

I think companies worry that an MMO needs an already established IP to attract new players and to kickstart the storylines. While I agree with your point, I think it's more likely they stick to their guns

>hurr durr Yea Forums is wrong

Does dota even have 'lore'?
I know it it has small bits of text for items and champions but is almost any of it connected?
Is any of it available outside of the game itself and maybe artifact?

no, but there are valvefriends who pretend it does

Worse than before but not too bad.

Just because lilzoom who has never played vanilla feels secondhand nostalgia when asmongold (who hasn't played vanilla either) talks about how great it was doesn't mean the people who did play it back then do. There's just no time in their life for all the bugs, farming of materials and hour and a half long dungeons. Nostalgia is great when you don't have to put effort in like with a tv show, but classic is far too big of a commitment for many and they know it. Don't be too sad when reality comes crashing down on you friend

there are some loosely connected heroes and some overarching background lore that doesn't matter that much
the comics they made for Dota where ok

>There's just no time in their life for all the bugs
hey you fucking retard this is blizzard making it not some random russians. they will patch the bugs

that's one dedicated shitpost

Just having the established characters standing around giving quests is a boost, in my opinion. I'm not a lorefag and never gave two shits about the quest text in wow, but I think it's pretty safe to say the game would not have gotten the fast start it did if it weren't for the already established orcs vs humans dynamic

>implying blizzard knows what they're doing

>implying it's not real and blizzard headquarters isn't seething as we speak

>overwatch is garbage wannabe tf2 with homosexuality.
ironically TF2's cast of characters is probably the straightest despite being composed entirely of men hanging around other men

if BFA has been losing subscribers they could very well be near 1million or below for sub numbers

The problem is that Blizzard wants the game to fail. They never wanted to fan base to have it in the first place

I'm still in touch with ~15 different people I met playing vanilla WoW. Out of those, ~5 have literally zero interest in it whatsoever (most of them play FFXIV now and one plays ESO, coincidentally), ~5 are somewhat hyped for it, but I can see them all giving up by level 40, and ~5 are not only hyped for Classic, but have also reached level 60 on 1x private servers. As I said, I fully expect vast majority of people coming back to WoW out of nostalgia to quit, but it's such a large volume of players, that even if 10% remains, it's going to be a massively popular game.

Diablo 3, hello? are you completly retarded? do you even remember the fiasco of the launch? the people not knowing what to do 2 weeks after its launch? everyone quitting ? it even sold 10 million on its launch, and i doubt they forgot about that disaster

tldr: half of the leaks you said are already well known, the other half are completly bullshit with other rumors from creditable sources saying completly different things and some of the leaks are things we will probably never know

0/10 leak

the best part of this thread is seeing all of the incel manbabies crying "It's not real! It's not real!"

No, it's the straightest because in 2007 when the game launched, game developers weren't yet catering to the vocal minority who demand that in a group of 9 people, 4 of them be gay, 3 of them be trans, 7 of them be women, and all 9 of them agree that Donald Trump is a fascist, despite the fact that gays make up about 2% of the population, trans make up about .01%, women in combat make up about .001%, and half the country voted for trump

The Grinch leak was OBVIOUS because of the movie remake Ad

Who gives a fuck about dota lore. Anyone asking for that or cinematics or comics or whatever are the exact people who need to play a different game.

the point of these threads is to circlejerk about how much we hate blizzard you retard you're not supposed to take it seriously

you might be one of the few people in thisthread willing to use their common sense, but you should know that the amount of (You)s is inversely proportional to the effort put into your post. I doubt anyone wants a meaningful conversation and instead they just want to shitpost and falseflag

I actually believe the "don't talk about FFXIV" part.

People who like the characters?

In all fairness we don't even know if Pyro is a girl and according to MatPat's game theory Pyro is actually a homosexual male because his ring finger is closer in length to his middle finger

nice sample size man. You can expect all you want but reality doesn't align with expectations a lot of the time. If you think that it was actually 12 million active subscribers and not 8 million random chinese players and 4 million europeans/americans you're in for a rough surprise. 90% of that is 400k which sounds like a more believable number. With current sub numbers probably hovering around a million or so the classic bump could put wow at maybe 2 million at best before going down to 1.3-1.5 million a few months in. Anything above that is wishful thinking

>Talks exactly like a retard from Yea Forums going on a sperg rant
If you believe this is real you're a retard. And no I'm not a Blizzard fan I've never even played a real MMO.

I doubt they would even touch Yea Forums with a 3.048 meter pole

>I actually believe the "don't talk about FFXIV" part.
I do also. A majority of my now dead raiding guild moved over to it, along with a bunch of others from other guilds.

yeah its fake because half the things it mentioned isnt even possible

Lmao.

Blizzard and VALVE were never the pristine cakes of company organization.

in Fact BOTH companies uses Socialism as its mold, which brings to TERRIBLE developing consequences bad descisions and more, the difference is that blizzard is bitch to South californian Socialism since its inception, and Valve follows the Seattle Model.
who lived or worked in both areas knows what am i talking about, and how fucking bad this model is.

>Source is some user free thinking goobergater posing as a fired, salty, Blizzard imp
I mean
It's plausible
But come on

You are all idiots if you believe any of this.
You think they are catering to SJWs then the biggest red flag is that they killed Tracers girlfriend. That’s a fucking tripe land mine that they know not to touch “kill your gays” or something.

That makes this entire list bullshit. Fucking incels.

You're a retard for even responding to the "leaks" with your huge posts. Everyone knows it's fucking fake retard.

I remember like twenty years ago when they killed the lesbian's girlfriend in Buffy and the LGBT fanbase freaked the fuck out because apparently it's a common trope to kill off lesbians? You'd think supposedly superSJW Blizzard would avoid stepping on that landmine.

>Been playing PoE since D3 was a fucking disaster of a launch, and I had enough of their bullshit since WoW went mainstream
>years later and I get to look forward to 4.0 while the diablo franchise slowly fades out of existence as a Chinese mobile game port
Delicious shadenfreude.

the thing is thta Pyro is a Female with an thermal suit to keep her alive, but the suit is so big that it makes it look that she's a guy

Will Blizzard ever recover from this humiliation?

>Diablo 4 is a shooter
Nah, gotta be fake. Even modern Blizzard cannot possibly be this retarded

you mean this thing?
youtube.com/watch?v=wTlWXoe1POg
it's only slightly better and it's a month old

Never was into Starcraft and Overwatch.
Gave up on WoW.
Barely touched Hearthstone and HotS.
Diablo 3, despite many problems, still was more fun to play for me than PoE, even tho I wish many elements from PoE made its way to Diablo to make it a bigger game.
If they even hint that Diablo 4 is FPS, not to mention the retarded plot, I'm not buying it. It's like the last Blizzard game I'm somewhat interested in, maybe even to the point where I would pre-order, but the moment they show a single screenshot/video where it's FPS - fuck you, no money, you get nothing from me, fuck you.

Attached: 1529676729544.jpg (640x640, 53K)

This is the same company that completely gave up on Starcraft thinking that Heroes of the Storm would be the next biggest esport.

Count on blizzard to fuck up even IPs that literally print money.

>finally make a game with no white men in it
Such obvious SJW boogeyman fanfiction, jesus christ

People who cater to those type of people don't *get* those type of people. Especially people like Blizzard, who use the the most played-out storytypes they can. The death of the loved on is up there.

It's a trap, you see. They pander with a gay main character, and are too shit at writing to make an interesting plot, so they kill the main character's significant other. Which would ordinarily be fine, but they pandered, so their main character is gay.

Downloaded the GoG release of Diablo+Hellfire. Shit is cash. And now I really want to run down to the gas station and unironically buy a Monster.

If shareholders say they want a shooter, Blizzard will make a shooter.

too assanine not to be a real leak. im glad the companys destroying itself and everyone saw this all comming. i sad blizzard games will die cause i loved diablo starcraft and warcraft as a young adult. but someone new will take their place.

i bet 2022 is the year of the crash.

this makes me happy desu

>too assanine not to be a real leak
you noticed that too huh. i'll bet every single bit of it is true.
time will tell

What a shame, to see a company go from such heights to this. At least I have so much more time to clear my backlog since I uninstalled Wow months ago. Deus Ex is amazing.

A king has his reign, and then he dies.

Classic is going to assrape retail WoW into the grave.

I hope retail devs ragequit over that.

You said the same thing in Banjo threads didn't you user?

Doing it in Diablo and then calling it "Diablo 4" is beyond retarded and complete suicide. They just pissed off every Diablo fan they had left with Immortal, if they now make a dumbed down looter-shooter and even dare number it as part of the main series then Blizzard will burn. How do you even make a "shooter" out of Diablo anyway? It'd have to be more of a 1st person melee game for some classes. A lot of builds aren't ranged in the traditional shooter sense, or at all.

It would also sound very retarded to not only have an existing shooter IP (Overwatch) but supposedly a Starcraft FPS in the works only to not use the former, then cancel the latter in order to make Diablo into another shooter.

>Reaper is gay
He has a wife and kid for fucks sake, and he fucking misses being able to spend time with them. Now he's gay?

all we get this week are new zones + daily quests to unlock flying

When you finish, play VTM:Bloodlines, if you haven't already.

user can you help me to get Diablo 1 working on Windows 10? It's just kicking me out back to the desktop. I did get in-game once, but then it crashed soon after.

what the fuck is with that frame rate when their falling holy shit that's awful

Classic is DOA. I know you don't want to believe it, but it's true. That of course doesn't mean retail isn't on a highway to its grave as well.

PC gaming is dying in general

Whoever made this needs to be in charge of Blizzard.
Makes my dick hard and makes me want to play.

Basically Hellgate: London
This time actually officially Diablo.

Hellgate failed, though.

You are right, the problem lies within my own conclusion. Most people have never seen an office from the inside and any talk about these kind of things is just static noise for them. They focus entirely on bullshit like how the lore is supposed to unravel and what furry race gets added next.
Meanwhile I think that everything boils down to the office structure when you compare the initial success and style of Blizzard games with the current state. It is funny that mentions Seattle as WotC faces the same issues.

I escaped that particular hell of getting orders via email and having every minute of my productive time being tracked. Pointing this shit out is kind of a coping mechanism for me.

This is bullshit but I believe it

Specifically the big gaming companies like Bethesda, Blizzard, CDPR, Steam is being threatened by Epic, etc.

Sadly. It was ahead of the market more than anything Blizzard has done in the last 10 years.

No, plenty of people believe it. Relax btw, you're kind of an asshole

Blizzard is dead, confirmed. Thanks user

>diablo was a good guy all along and he was trying to prepare us for THE VOID
That's the same plot they pulled for Starcraft and WoW.

the only thing i miss about leaving classic wow threads is Dru-Chad

More video game are becoming games as services and inject the game with shit loads of incentives to increase weekly play time and player retention month by month.

Alongside with each game being fucking huge and taking up close to a 3rd or a little over a 10th of hard drive space for consoles at least. Publishers are at war with each other trying to lock down a players time and the games they play to a specific handful of game's by making it harder to have multiple games installed at once to split your attention, and the incentives to increase the time you will sink into a game and hopefully spend on dlc/mtx.

Not to mention twitch being enough for some people to experience game will end up having a negative effect on game sales spread out across several titles
