But that link has nothing to do with those supposed leaks in the picture

Please no employee knows that much about every project going on except high level execs.

Fake News

I'm convinced to this day that making a 2 so early (by their standard) is to change the artstyle to something more chaste, with everybody wearing full covering tacticool grey military gear and stuff so it export better in china.

lol get a fucking job holy shit, all you need is talk during coffee break to know everything about a workplace, including who fuck who and who is stealing all the red markers.

Overwatch players are too cucked to complain about it. You'll have people with multicoloured hair crying tears of joy in the stands of their e-sports arena thing as they play the trailer right before their south-koreans-only tournament.
The only reason diablo immortal got a backlash from people at blizzcon is because diablo fans have been neglected for so long that they've got nothing to lose.

WoW classic is going to print money so it will make up for all the failures. Anyone saying classic will flop are deluded. I hate Blizzard but I'm stating facts.

I was excited for Tychus being rebuilt and returning to Jimmy, but then I read the rest of that

fake and gay, thankfully

stop being a bot

>that overwatch section
It's bullshit but I believe it.
I really enjoyed OW for a while, but it got stale fast, and the whole custom gamemode thing wasn't on par with TF2's map editor and gamemode creator. Blizz only gave a shit about esports and didn't really care much about the regular game.
If you think about it, there has been NO FUCKING NEW GAMEMODE IN COMP. It's either payload, KOTH, or attack or defense. Hybrid is just a fucking combination of attack and payload. 3 fucking gamemodes for 3 years, with gimmick shit like CTF being removed.
Lucio and Genji were fun to play as, at least.

>No negativity in the dojo shhhh

This is too fucking specific in my honest opinion, it's the type of shit I heard at my office job when our competition was doing much better than us

It will make them money but theres no initial buy in expansion purchase.

You just have to pay 15 a month for your sub.

classic subs will drop to three digit numbers after the first month

Tldr

the leak is fake. one person wouldn't know about all those different development teams unless they're very high up and no one that high up leaks.

Hearthstone was free as well and they would have made a boatload of cash from people buying cards. Overwatch was also mega successful.

Who cares?

if diablo 4 is revealed as described here i will lmao

that's a prayer from a faithful ignorant customer with Stockholm syndrome, not an analysis.

>Blizzard will make the allied races buyable
I am surprised it hasn't happened already, they will start adding races at a faster rate and charge $10 for them, and by $10 I mean $20 because Fortnite has taught us that people will pay fucking $20 to look different

or they just talk together and had a beer with some of the higher ups. get a job.

>didn't really care much about the regular game.
This was the biggest problem. I use to play PUGs in TF2 every now and again but my main game mode was 12v12 casuals doing payload, CP or CTF. Playing 6v6 constantly is stressful and honestly boring.
The maps being designed for 6v6 meant that you couldn't just increase it to a 12v12 without fucking everything up further. The map design was clinical and boring as fuck too, with two chokepoints at all times
Then there's the fact that they artificially changed the meta every few days with patches. They completely let go of the reins and started balancing according to people crying on forums when they nerfed Roadhog. It was clear then there'd never be an organically changing meta.

Classic will succeed, but only because it's an already made game from a competent team that no longer exists. The talent is gone and the management is a shitshow that's only barely managing to re-release a 20 year old game that literal third world slavs living in mudhuts have been hosting and support no issue for years. Any money from classic's success will only go to fund further failures and shitshows.

I can't wait to see the MTX they introduce to classic a little later down the line. From where I'm sitting now I can't imagine they would actually sell 60s but you never know

Yeah, I was a big player of lobby.tf when it was alive, playing highlander mainly.
I also think the heroes they added are decent to bad.
Ana was good, but she was just the medic with crusader's crossbow. Sombra was good, Orisa was okay but not that original, Doomfist was less hyped up that he was rumored to be but not bad, Moira's damage was fucking annoying, having that long range, Brigitte is one of the main reasons I left, she was just too fucking broken (and still is if I remember), Wreckingball was better on paper, Ashe is decent, and Baptiste has an interesting gimmick.

Ironic that the "get a job" response to this critisism of the "leak" is clearly being made by people who've never worked in a company like this.
People from different departments do often discuss things but if you think someone low ranking enough to get away with post a "leak" on Yea Forums would have such widespread and detailed information on each of blizzard's main cashcows JUST from watercooler chit-chat, you're living in a fucking fantasy.
If the poster wanted to make their larp believable, they'd have made things much less detailed with only a few snippits of info for each department, except for one which they "worked on". It would be a lot of "friend i know working on X says X, Y and Z" and "there are rumours"
Instead, it reads like they're a jaded high level exec who's finally been redpilled and went straight to Yea Forums

I am 100% expecting them to add unarmored mounts, TCG items and box set pets in as microtransactions since they've clarified they won't be in the game. I don't even question it it's just a matter of when. If they're actually serious about preserving the original feel of the game then those are the only things they can possibly add without monumentally fucking everything up. Though store mounts at all would be really bad since 100% speed mounts are one of the only major gold sinks in classic, they would have to make it so that a store mount replaces a mount you already bought in game or something.

>Brigitte is one of the main reasons I left, she was just too fucking broken

Why would you care about the opinions of roasties and trannies? They have an inferiority complex around anime, they don't even have souls.

I remember after last Blizzcon, all the employees were saying in interviews, "just wait for next year, next Blizzcon's the big one! Seriously, I don't want to overblow it, but if you're ever going to go to any Blizzcon in your life, I promise, that's the one to go to."

They've had multiple projects canceled since then and allegedly Diablo 4 was rushed into emergency development, shifting around priorities ever since those interviews were made.

What do you guys think we should be looking forward to from the "most important Blizzcon ever"?

I didn't know they had confirmed no armorless mounts and I didn't even think about TCG stuff, you're absolutely right. I figured they would tie in their other games somehow but I don't know how they can do that without actually adding something totally new and people would freak out.

What ruined Overwatch for me was how godawful the map designs were. Just giant empty hallways or streets with a couple boxes here and there that are too small to take cover behind, followed up by two chokepoints that heavily favor one side. And the Attack/Defense maps were all just two pathways you can take that lead to a giant murderbox or a circle with a cylinder in the middle. I can't think of a single map in that game that I would say is good.

Attached: 1539508402157.png (389x256, 94K)

Also before someone asks, I'm not gonna go digging up sources, it's been months and a lot of it was podcasters who follow Blizzard stuff talking about things employees said to them off the record while drinking at the after-Blizzcon bar parties.

I'm actually down for a PvE focused overwatch

The only maps I liked were koth maps.
Attack/defense and payload were as you decribed

just have sex once with any girl and the guilt will go away.

Agreed. The maps were fucking clinical. Nothing felt interesting to me, nothing felt like a back path and because of the 6v6 "clump up with your team and never leave them" gameplay style of the game, you never got anything out of going rogue in side passages anyway.
Shame, I had some fun in the game but it could have been a billion times better than it was.

Attached: air superiority.webm (853x480, 2.67M)

There won't be any microtransactions. I hate Nu-Blizzard with all my heart but even I know they won't do that. Classic's entire reason for existing is to increase sub numbers (same sub for retail and classic) by bringing back the players who got sick of activision scum ruining their game and giving them a pristine environment for them to pay for. Adding in microtransactions would render the whole ploy moot, and they'd have wasted all their time for nothing.
What they are more likely to do is try and incentivise classic players to also play retail and vice versa. How they'd do this I don't know, but it will probably be along the lines of exclusive in-game retail rewards for things in classic e.i. clearing zul'gurub in classic gets you a new mount in retail.

This. I work at an industrial corp with 30k employees and I have almost no clue what the guys even at the other end of my very floor are doing.

Attached: 1558773972139.png (720x713, 566K)

Another thing I noticed about the maps are how hard they cater to Widowmaker alone. I swear every map has a dozen balconies, ledges, and entrances in high up places that only a Widowmaker or a Hanzo could easily get to. It felt like they were trying way too hard to justify even adding them to the game.

Don't listen to the people saying have sex. Before having sex, life is full of hope that maybe sex and girls will make the emptiness go away. Post sex is just realizing it doesn't and nothing will ever fill the hole.

Yea, you know some stuff thats going on, but are you trying to tell me you've got indepth knowledge of nearly everything google has in the pipeline for the next few years? Because that's what the leaker suggests they have.
Also, if you know that the info you have would get you sued, can you imagine how absolutely fucked a person would be if they leaked so much information after being fired. The "leaker" clearly thinks that once you get fired, you're off the company record and free to do whatever you want.
Blizzard fire a guy and then the next day theres detailed information leaked online under the header "I was fired from blizzard"? If these leaks were true then we'd have heard news by now about a former blizzard employee being found dead with a few of his most valuable organs missing.

I'm overjoyed now I can play a different support every map and actually switch my hero around based on the point, enemy comp, and map. This patch right now is probably the freshest and closest to the original vision the game's been in three years.

Because alphabet is fucking massive I don't, but I could for my specific subsidiary, yes. I could legitimately, to the level of detail in the OP leak pic, say stuff about my company. (Theoretically google overlords I would never do such a thing)

haha yea sorry i forgot that if you work at a game company you can't access the secret club that is Yea Forums, or see the information condensed into a single image by members of said secret club so they can post it outside of Yea Forums.

That's not how big companies like blizzard work. Employees aren't told more than they need to know.

Don't ever touch those vile succubi called "women". They'll defile your soul.

Instead, go have an "incelebration" that you've remained pure all this time, even if you touched yourself in an impure manner the whole time, it's still better than touching them.

Not even joking. Purity is quite valuable but most people don't have a clue because they're disease-spreading DOGS.

The looter shooter isn't a fad you fucking gremlin theres literally 3 games and one of them is so dead that it's desecrate the earth and made the genre untouchable

If any of this is true, holy maloney. Then it really is dead. Especially OW and Diablo. What makes it a tiny bit credible is that they actually tried to make a Darksouls like Diablo.

Again, they've never chased fads. They take a genre with little to no competition and make a game infinitely more profitable than anything else out there. It's how literally all of their IPs still exist.
HotS is the only example of it going wrong, and it only exists because blizzard has never gotten over the fact they let valve have dota.

What are you not grasping here?

user there's been a thriving vanilla pserver community for a decade. Not one pserver has come closer than Nost to Blizzard quality. An actual Blizzard Classic server will draw in all but the poorest of the pserver crowd. Classic going to do to WoW what OSRS did to RuneScape.

Nothing in the leak proves Morhaime posted it.
Here's how epistemology works:

If the validity of a piece of information is questioned, you have to provide different information to demonstrate its veracity.
If I say "I don't believe the Yea Forums post" and you want to convince me otherwise, you can't just point back at the Yea Forums post. That's tautological. Instead, you would provide evidence (different information) corroborating claims made in the post (initial information).

That being said, there is zero evidence that the Yea Forums post is true. We're well over 100 posts into this thread with zero evidence so there's really no basis to believe it.

>WoW only had to compete with everquest

yea, little to no relevant competiton every time they've launched a new franchise, retard, or is contextualising something too hard of a concept for you?
Theres a reason MMOs exploded AFTER wow, and how hero shooters exploded AFTER overwatch, and why Diablo-Clones and called Diablo-Clones. As much as nu-blizzard is creatively bankrupt with the IPs they already own, their trackrecord of starting fads instead of following them is solid.

No it didn't, there was what? Paladins and nothing else from what I remember. It quickly got overshadowed by battle royale games

>30k employees lol
you don't work, at all.

No it doesn't. No one playing hearthstone is going to even consider picking up Magic, and vice versa. They are in two completely different fields of thought when it comes to online cardgames

Why can't companies just try to make good games? For the companies that were successful in the past, that's why, because they just tried to make the best game they could, and succeeded. But no, not anymore! We have to make something to cater to esports, we have to cater to political bullshit, there's all sorts of things we have to do other than just trying to make a good game. It's ironic, because trying so hard to deliberately create a "financial success" is the thing that leads to failure.

blizz gave up on creating melee character long ago, D3 is already a 3rd person shooter at this point.

The amazing Eternals, Battleborn, Gigantic, and the worst of them all Lawbreakers. Though none of these are really 'hero shooters' and more break offs of MOBAs just like OVerwatch

forum managers and hotline people that are the same for all games and spend lots of time gossiping with employees because they don' really have deadlines

That view is common sense though. A stress-free worker is a more productive worker. They can focus while they're on the clock.

>implying The Post

>A stress-free worker is a more productive worker.
that never happens, a stress free worker is a parasite that spend half his days on social media at work and that tell you you are a "killjoy" if you ask for result before the day of the deadline, where there will be lots of excuses and feelings to explain why they need another week.

I think you greatly over-appreciate the talent that Blizzard have. I'm this fella defending your point, but I don't think we're on the same page. Blizzard drones have been brainwashed for decades now to always pick up Blizzard purchases. Of course people are going to make games that imitate Bliz games to try and pick up extra customers. Hell, Bliz fans are so retarded they'd probably pick those games up by mistake too.

Only newfags tell others to have sex.

but the "leak" said nothing about this?

Yeah I don't know if I'd say that counts as an explosion, especially since the only one that survived was Paladins

>It exploded in popularity
It really didn't, Gigantic never took off, neither did Battleborn, or Lawbreakers, The Amazing Eternals never even released, Quake champions only barely got any traction thanks to having Quake in the title. Paladins is the only one that one can say took off but even then it was nowhere near as popular as Overwatch.

Oh sorry, I meant it more that the genre took off as everyone started making games with similar mechanics to it.

It didn't maintain, which is why either shit got cancelled, or straight up died a few months after release.

I guarantee you that productivity goes up across an organization if they don't have significant outside stressors. The existence of worthless employees is something that will always be true regardless, so it doesn't really mean anything here.

They clearly have, or atleast used to have, a talent for making games that a lot of people hold as the pinnacle of the respective genre.
What Blizzard drones don't want to acknowledge is that they have an equally strong track record of tanking said games with poor decision making and increasingly greedy practises.

It's a miracle that Bungie was able to bail and take Destiny 2 with them.

or you know, DAOC or Lineage 1 & 2 or SWG or asheron's call or city of heroes or a plethora of other games

HR people probably would have. I can also imagine quite a lot of people would be pissed about the shitty management and some would vent to coworkers in other departments making word go around about how the other dev teams are doing

not like 2 was that successful in the first place, was it?
I never thought any dev company could pull that off though, let alone one working with activision

Technically exploded is a correct term to use, the genre died as soon after it exploded.

It is immoral to support EA. In fact, it is probably immoral to not spread the word that they are actual villainous scum in the classic, almost trope sort of way. They are a cartoon caricature of evil greed and you fucking livestock goys need to stop humiliating yourselves by buying their slop.

>I guarantee you
I know it's bullshit, because I work. "stressless work" is what the incompetent raises all day while the rest of the team has to patch up their shit until they get fired. Without the fear of being fired, people just stop working entirely. You have billions of examples of that vermin, it's called "civil servants".

I actually think Overwatch is the least greedy of all their modern games. I'm actually surprised that people really shit on it a lot on Yea Forums, but I've got my own theory on why that is.

>debra from human resources is given detailed information about diablo 4 because reasons

Please elaborate user, I could use something to read while I download Starbound.

Destiny 2 still made enough to break even. Both games made back more than enough to cover all of the support Activision gave to Bungie, which was one of the reasons why they were able to break as cleanly as they could and still keep the IP.
Destiny 2 seems to be changing a hell of a lot as they're nearing their Steam re-release, especially in regards to monetization and content related stuff, so there must have been a ton of upper management meddling from Actiblizz.

>city of heroes

Big F my dude

>list of games literally no one played then and no one plays now
remain in denial

You pay $40 and get everything that matters. Very simple.

Well Debra is the one who is gonna have to send out job applications since Blizzard has a lot of vacant jobs that need to be filled so if Diablo is an FPS now she'd probably want to know that so she can employ people who have experience in making FPS games.

It worked with Titanfall, I wouldn't be surprised

>everyone just casually breaks ndas and risks a lawsuit like it's no big deal
where the fuck do you work

People talk about their families and what they're doing at the weekened and who is being a massive dick by leaving spoiled food in the fridge.
The office environment has to be an alien concept to you to think that people are leaking details of projects to each other in casual conversation. Newsflash, dickhead: it's not a leak to any of them because they fucking work on the projects - to them it's just work and no one wants to talk about work in their downtime.

>$1 a day in fucking gift cards

This is literally what most companies think you're worth as an employee.

People work better and are more co-operative when they're all in a cheerful mood. You do get the odd one useless parasite that everyone has to carry but they usually ostracize those people.

Pretty much this This is incorrect. You can get every skin in the game for free. There are two Overwatch League skins you can get a year and you can buy OWL tokens to purchase them. You can also get OWL tokens by watching the league on Twitch, even if you're just AFK watching it on your phone, laptop, etc. Everything in the game is available for you to get for free if you just play. i.e. I've got 'em all except a lot of the 100 token skins because the majority look like shit.

I think the majority of people call it shit because of solo queuing and the frustration that comes with it. It's a team game and you really have to work together to get shit done. It's a miserable experience in solo queue a lot of the time when people play characters that don't really work with the rest of the team. That's also the hate that people like XQC always yammer on about. He's a Twitch personality, and Yea Forums is the most underage board. There's this idea that hating something is contrarian, but when everyone on Yea Forums is doing it, I think they're missing the mark. Hell, XQC still plays Overwatch religiously, so even at its worst it's still great.

The game has issues, but they're never really discussed on Yea Forums. People who hate on it but can't offer up any input as to why are retarded. Probably just as retarded as the people posting on Yea Forums that think Mei is anything but a fat disgusting slob.

>no one wants to talk about work in their downtime.
Yeah because no one ever talks about how shit their work is to other coworkers. The office environment has to be alien to you since you think that people think it's verboten to talk about their job when they're not working. Ofcourse they won't talk about their job all the time, people will talk about all manner of things and work issues are a part of that.

There's a difference between complaining about a job and breaking an NDA you signed for a billion dollar company.

>You're not guaranteed to get the skins you want retard
Right, but you get the lootboxes as you play the game for free. You're not buying keys or something to unlock them. If you keep playing, you'll get the skins you want. If not, you're gonna get duplicates which give the in-game currency which you can use to get the skins you want.

t. I've got every skin in the game from just playing it & have never bought a loot-box.

No, that's you projecting your retarded groupthink about literal whos on others.

It's a fucking TF2 ripoff that came out long after TF2 itself was any relevant and had the audacity to charge $60 on top of that. That's (partly) why everybody shits on it.

There's still no guarantee you'll get the skins you want and just because you got them all it doesn't mean that everyone else will. You haven't even stated how much time you've spent playing that shit game. For all I know it could be a retarded amount of time the average person won't spend on the game

>It can't be that bad.
It's worse than you could imagine
The starbound general that once existed devolved into a place to document all the garbage things the devs did.

Everything that is shares, Terraria does better, and what is unique is so damn sub-par it's just disappointing. I gave it a good 10 hours or so and it didn't drive me to play Terraria, but I wanted something better than Starbound.
It felt like watching an indie movie, I just kept wondering "What if this was done a little better/more professionally?"

It is a retarded around of time and the average person probably won't play for triple digit hours. My point was that you can get everything for free though, but I think I'm missing yours.

>but I think I'm missing yours.
I originally said that Overwatch isn't greedy and that you get everything except the skins when you buy the game. Which is true since the skins aren't unlocked from the start and several you can only get from special lootboxes during events and there's no guaranatee that you will get them.

You can also just check the pace at which they release their updates and what's included in them. Because it's only like one patch per year and it's barely ever any good amount of content, usually just a single mechanic like half-assed mechs that are inferior to mech mods that the update breaks.

Any one talented enough to get hired on by Blizzard seems absolutely foolish to stay there. Just corroborate a plan with your work mates and get the fuck out of there and start an indie studio and let Activision's greed and absolute disregard for their coworkers be their downfall. Why would anyone want to be such a bitch to soulless corporation if their talents could be used for their own personal gain 100%.

I work for an agency of tens of thousands, what you’re saying might be true for piddly shit no one cares about, but big, notable, or interesting projects are always gossip fodder. Or something you hear consistently discussed at staff meetings. It makes sense for Blizzard since they only have so many franchises going and most of them are huge deals in the gaming world.

Both me and my wife in standard or wild have no problem finding games of Hearthstone at any time of day. Yea Forums loves declaring games dead before their time. Though I won't defend hearthstone too much, it's mostly just my digital card game addictions

Respawn seems to be pretty chill. They struck gold with Apex and let its hype slip away because they have normal work hours with no crunchtime, no 100-hours-a-week high output sweatshop work environment the likes of Fortnite. They can't match the juggernaut in terms of shitting out more monetized carrots for kids to spend money on.

I know a lot of people who appreciate challenging card games like Magic who also played Hearthstone.

I don't think it's ONLY a matter of quality although I agree with you that Hearthstone is a shit game that caters to people who have shit taste and standards. But it has hooked people who are raw fucking addicted to card games (and card game players have to be addicts on some level to even play them) coupled with the fact that Hearthstone is/was the only online and mobile card game. When MTG Arena goes mobile they'll probably drop Hearthstone. Hearthstone succeeds because Wizards' incompetence is unfathomable.

I didn't play Hearthstone on sheer principle knowing it is shit but for some reason my Magic friends will straight up admit it's a shit game yet continue to dump tonnes of hours into it.

It did, but then Battle Royales quickly became the new hotness because of PUBG and Fortnite.

It makes me really sad that’s what games need to be successful these days. It can’t stand on it’s own, it has to be inundated with cosmetics, lore, comics, shorts, fanart, music videos, all that disgusting shit

>I know a lot of people who appreciate challenging card games like Magic who also played Hearthstone.
Magic players play hearthstone because someone with a basic grasp of magic is instantly in the top 10% of hearthstone players. It's just to clown on idiots.

>lore, comics, shorts, etc.
I know Overwatch had those things but at the same time Blizzard didn't really put in the depth to make those things good. What Blizzard did do was make the characters super fuckable and the hype and fanart followed.

The point I'm trying to make is that the company doesn't have to churn out any more than the basics. They just have to put in the effort to make the characters ultra-fuckable like the Overwatch characters.

CTF would never work with overwatch. Could you imagine trying to defend the flag from a character with movement skills or invuln, let alone a fucking tracer teleporting on to the flag and rewinding back to the midpoint of the map?

ummm.... you know most games prevent abilities like that from coming into play

The modding scene for most games went to shit after the mid 2000s with the dark ages of every game using automated Matchmaking and offering no mod tools. The community used to be able to entertain themselves and pumped out more unique content that no corporation could ever match, not even now, for free.

I miss when we got our game and that was it. No updates, extremely rare patches in the form of a company mailing a god damn floppy disc to you, and no DLC.
And when we got to the point of games being patched online, you might get a patch once every few months, lucky if it had any actual new content to go with any bugfixes. Instead of DLC, any additional content was in a big Expansion that potentially increased the size of the game's REAL content twofold for which we usually paid $30~ (meanwhile the average microtransaction nowadays charges you $4.99 for a cosmetic and charges you a an extra full $60 for a "season pass" that might have one new item and a couple maps).

AAA is completely rotted out. There will never be another "crash", but there will hopefully be some deflation in the "industry" once the higher ups lose that massive income stream following the likely Lootbox ban.
I'm finding the same spark of the 90s among indies and smaller dev teams who make simple fun shit that happens to be easy to mod. Just buy the god damn game and make your own fun with it.

respawns business model is also shit and probably has lost and is still losing them sales.
fortnite unironically is more consumer and player friendly then respawn.
lots of respawns decisions don't make sense at all.
that and they are slow to roll out patches.
only til recently have they started doing anything with apex.

Just give me Blizz coded and worked BC servers and Blizzard can do whatever the fuck they want with other games.

You can blame both. You can blame Japan not taking advantage of their early competitive advantage to actually evolve gaming. Early on in gaming's history they put in raw effort to break new ground that gave them the advantage in a young marketplace such as gaming. As such, because nobody in the industry knew what they were doing, Japanese games were great even if the visuals and gameplay were substandard by today's standards they were excellent at the time thanks to raw Japanese effort.

Japanese gameplay hasn't changed. They've been trying to sell us the same fucking garbage gameplay from the 90s with a facelift and it doesn't hold up - their raw effort doesn't cut it anymore. Even the waifus can't sell it anymore because their games are intolerable to play by modern standards. And when waifus do sell it, like in Persona 5, it's because they pulled in all the artistic stops to make it look and sound incredible - the fucking gameplay is pure dogshit.

Then you look at League, which has all the advantages of starting in a modern age AND was based of a incredible game like DotA and instead of making a great game like DotA they made dogshit but added waifus and is why they're relevant today. And Valve failed to add waifus to their game, which is why League remains with us today. Hilariously, the Chinese are to blame for League's success but it will also be the Chinese who keep DotA alive; both League and DotA are dying in the West.

And now, both Japan and the West can't make solid gameplay to save their lives. And so any company who can crank out the best waifus will have the best selling game. Fortnite should be a dead game but because you'd rather have sex with a Fortnite character than an Apex Legends character, Apex Legend's superior gameplay doesn't fucking matter. I'm not saying everyone doesn't like Apex for the gameplay; but the vast majority clearly ditched it and moved on because they have ADD or back to Fortnite.

I hope the higher ups will just flock to mobile "gaming", allowing the rest to be made great again. But yeah meanwhile indie gaming is plenty.

Ctf is on their rotating arcade playlist and is one of my favorite modes. The fix is very simple, any ability that give you extra movement or invulnerablitly makes you drop the flag. So even characters are still better then others, but it's a hero shooter what do you expect.

that story predates the post by months, you mong

There’s also the faux sense of community these companies bank on to sell their live services.

Waifus and sexy characters have always and will always sell, there is nobody to blame for human nature. People like things that look appealing, no amount of politically driven bullshit will make people stop liking sexy women and strong, capable men. It will never become a nonfactor, so it is best to embrace it.

Women have gotten uglier and men have gotten weaker since the 1980s explicitly because of feminist/SJW/whatever bullshit screeching hard enough to devalue and demonize traditional attractiveness.

Become volcel.

I don't understand why something like classic took them such a long time.
They must have taken pages out of EQ 1 and 2 and that game had generation severs and would launch new ones every so often because they obviously saw people playing them.

Meanwhile, Blizzad:
>you think you do but you don't

>casualize every game to the extreme
>it turns out to be a shit strategy because normies are not a long-lasting audience
>now everything's in the shit because you had to go all-in with your corporate brainfart

I've personally witnessed Blizzard's failure at the grass roots with my more normie-like friends: they all went head-first to Overwatch but dropped it after a year or so. Meanwhile I've stuck to TF2 for nearly a decade already. I also used to love WoW and Hearthstone: I am the type of customer who Blizzard used to succeed off of, and they flipped my kind off while striving for the bigger normie audience. In the end, they lost everyone and I am not even sad.

Too think icefrog and DotA could have been stuck with blizzard if they hadn't laughed him out the door about making the game standalone.

It's rarely only one person that gets fired unless they personally fuck up somehow.

>Women have gotten uglier
That is so wrong. The SJW thing is in the minority and you only think women are uglier because the SJW movement is so focused on being fucking gross so you think it's representative of the population.

The population itself is hotter than ever. The Internet has given them beauty tutorials and clothes are fucking sluttier than ever not to mention accessible thank to the Internet. Women everywhere are wearing tights, which more or less makes them fucking NAKED. There is no way women have become less attractive by any measure. It's only that the brain-damaged ones who celebrate looking like crazy people have been given megaphones on the Internet that you cannot ignore anymore. Yeah okay, maybe there are some people out there who shouldn't be wearing tights, but the tights are almost always a net-positive for most people.

Go outside, the fucking women are gorgeous; there are dolled up people walking the streets who are more beautiful than movie stars when they're dolled up.

I'm not saying I fucking like that people are leaning on their cosmetics and neglecting proper diet and exercise and ignoring their personal development, but to say that people are uglier on the outside is just super wrong.

Dota only survives because it’s fanbase is fanatical and Valve doesn’t give a fuck, so they mostly leave it alone. Literally any other company would have tried to shill the fuck out of the game and squeezed the autists for everything they have. And it wouldn’t have worked. The only people who think this is a bad thing are people who care about which game is more popular, which is not something you should care about when deciding to play a game

>Clickbait is making it's way onto Yea Forums
Welp, that's that.

This, just stop giving a shit

The irony is that at the same time they are squeezing autist for more money than a lot of other games.
Or maybe it only seems that way during TI prizepool periods because nobody knows how much other f2p games usually make.

Leave Yea Forums and never come back. If it's twisting your view on reality then it's time to get the fuck away from here. Trust me. It's gonna poison your brain otherwise.

Most sex is shit, stay a virgin and only have sex with people you really fucking like.

I hope it's true, I love reading these.

Bit of both, I think. Dotards are willing to pay up of their own volition, because I really do think they care far more about the game itself than hats or waifus. You monetize it like OW and they’ll burn the whole thing to the ground, then go off to make a new dota somewhere else. That said, TI seems fuckhuge but I’m sure other games with more aggressive monetization make way, way more. Keep in mind, Valve is funding both the Majors and an ad-free TI, plus how much goes into the actual prize pool. Probably a drop in the bucket compared to that Steam money desu

This hit way too close to reality.

Look, I'll concede that where you live the women might be fat as fuck. I know this is true in some parts (i.e. neighborhoods) of the United States where you just can't ignore the obesity problem because like 50% of the population is obese. And yeah, I get it, that's really prevalent in the economically shit parts of the USA - those same areas also suffer from high rates of bullshit diseases that even the third world doesn't suffer from. I understand where you might be coming from; you could be standing in San Francisco and everyone is slamming; and you cross the bridge into Oakland and it's an entirely different story.

That problem there is gross economic poverty. Disgusting ugly fat people are just a symptom of that. You're not going to find as many fat people living in the suburbs because hey, if you live in the suburbs you probably aren't dirt poor. And being dirt poor now isn't the same as being dirt poor in the 80s because now you're getting foot parasites and your caloric intake is being fucked and an increase in sedimentary work and life if you're poor.

Not so much that you wouldn't know what was going on, but it would play out like a game of telephone.

Why do these leaks never talk about mobileshit considering how mobile oriented blizz theyve claimed themselves to be

How the fug do you expect me to believ dis fugging crapp??? :DD

Leaker implies at one point he is pro consumer and then later on in his diatribe implies that he thinks the consumer is trash, which is it fag?

Diablo 4 being FPS strikes this at being bullshit, but at the same time it also isn't because Activision lost their Destiny cash-cow. I think I can see Activision-Blizzards strategy here, just hear me out on this one:
>If the FPS rumor turns out to be true, they can then use this to push Diablo Immortal. Blizzard would very likely slap-dash a PC port of DI and give just enough tweaks to gameplay and economy that they can claim it's the game to play for those wanting "a more old-school Diablo experience".
>Cue the impressive graphs of people playing in the first week (before they realize the game is still mobile shit and drop it) and the articles about how Immortal has turned around into a smash hit and how Red Shirt Guy is the villain of this story, and not actiblizzard fpr re-skinning a game that was plagiarizing their own work

Stop falling for this pasta. Great bait friendo.

It's enough if you're a smoker. I got to know so many people from all over my corporation during smoke breaks and heard so many stories, gossips, news and secrets that I could probably blackmail half of the company and get the stock price tumbling down if I leaked it.

You know what makes this leak really fake. The obvious "we are going home lads" classicfagging. Blizzard is banking everything on gooks letting them break into their market. They don't give a fuck about classic, they know it's going to bomb horribly. Once the zoomer's favorite streamer turns on classic or just fucks off back to live or some other game. Classic will be a ghost town. Blizzard is dying because it is no longer Blizzard and hasn't been since at least Diablo 3 released.

stop measuring your self worth based on degenerate culture.

Yeah it's unlikely real as with most leaks. And when it's real, normies go "Yea Forums IS NEVER WRONG"

No one can prove you’re a virgin, faggot. Stop telling people you are. No one’s going to ask you to recount your first sexual encounter in full detail. Even if you did have sex people might not believe you. I had people in highschool and college insist that I was a virgin despite me having sex multiple times and informing them multiple times that I’m not. Sex isn’t special. Fucking a hooker isn’t gonna blow your fucking mind. Fucking your gf isn’t gonna blow your mind either, you’re just gonna be closer to your gf. Just jack off if you can’t get laid.

>It's voluntary, but we'll reward you if you do!

Top kek. They know people will do anything for a bit more money because inflation and rising cost of living is fucking them sideways, it's not REALLY voluntary. It's like people who say "well you don't HAVE to shop at Amazon or Walmart! It's voluntary!" But they know people will shop for low prices because of stagnating wages, and they know Walmart has the lowest prices (through aggressive business tactics), so it's not like people have a choice.

It's just the illusion of choice.

They killed off Soldier 76's ex-boyfriend and nobody complained.

Started working in foreign affairs last year as a public servant. Pay is great, work is related to degree. The vast majority of people I work are workaholics in their late 20s early 30s, with average job security (no permanence unless you're a boomer, basically).

I get the meme of the lazy, unfireable government worker, but honestly hasn't been my experience so far.

that's because nobody gives a shit about gay dudes, just gay chicks.

how could you fuck up sex this badly I can't believe it

Literally have sex. It's not that hard. Dress well, smell well and don't sit on your ass all day long and you'll be having it occasionally. Just don't be one of those sloppy dudes that don't do enemas befores sex when you're about to meet a cute guy.

Summarizes the Overwatch audience perfectly. "TwitchFaggot98 plays the game and he's popular so it must be good & I must play it too."

The other half of the spectrum is woke morons participating in the idpol olympics, desperate to out-nigger one another on their quest to find the ultimate wheelchair cripple lesbian otherkin, but they don't actually play the game, so all that's left are underage cretins worshiping e-demagogues inside a corporate sphincter.

I live in Germany. Higher education women are also chubby, we've just become used to it. The frog will never notice a change until he boils. But women in USA, UK, Germany and other places are too fat regardless of economic background. The fact that the poor are leading the charge doesn't mean higher education women are at a healthy weight. They know how to work with elastic fabric pants to create a healthier looking shape out of their fat. Any time any board on Yea Forums has a ogling women thread there's massive spam and approval of fat women who hide their disgustingness with shapely clothing and makeup. Posters here have proven over and over that they are not noticing the problem.

>less than 40% of women are overweight
>"they're all fat"

who cares about blizzard i want people to stop making overwatch porn and making street fighter porn instead

You're German so I understand you have autism, but your theory is wrong on account of gross overthought.

>there's a board where random sluts post nudes
>if you flatter them anonymously you receive nudes
>if you tell them the truth or insult them you don't get nudes
>attractive women will never post nudes here, only sluts, many of them fat
>your choice is either fat slut nudes or nothing

This isn't some greater societal woe. Men will get off to anything because if they don't get off they will channel their frustration less healthy obsessions, resulting in them becoming Germans.

fuck a fat chick and get over the complex. I did it at 25, about seven years too late. had I lost my virginity before 21, I would have gone on to have sex with at least six reasonably attractive women in various situations where they were practically begging for the D but I didn't know how to respond because of my retarded complex. nearly all of these women went on to either get married to or have long term relationships with guys that more or less look like me. now I'm 28 and long since over the complex after fucking two fat chicks a half dozen times each at 25... but after the college years, those opportunities dont throw themselves at you anymore, so now that I'm ready for them, there's none to be had.

What are some real things we can do to hurt/kill Blizzard? Not just "voting with your wallet" but actual stuff?

overweight is a medical term. aesthetically the cutoff is lower. half of all women are below average looking face-wise, and the 40+% fat women are not entirely a subset of those obviously. if we assume that obesity isn't strongly correlated with having an ugly face (and why would we assume anything else?) then we can add up 50% ugly + 20% fat to get 70% of women being unfuckable now. meanwhile, prior to the 20th century nobody was fat so only 50% of women were unfuckable.

men strongly agree on beauty world-wide so saying that it's a subjective judgment is true but irrelevant. the outcome is that men find signs of youth and fertility attractive and guess what, obesity harms fertility.

"For Ovia, Activision Blizzard offers $1 a day in gift cards to employees using it. The app allows women attempting to conceive to record numerous personal details from when they begin trying to conceive, through pregnancy, and after birth. That includes sleep schedule, diet and weight, as well as when they have sex, their mood, and the appearance of their cervical fluid. Women can also detail complications of pregnancy, miscarriages, and other information."
it's astonishing how stupid people have become and comfortable they are being totally and completely tracked and their personal data monetized. the profiles that data companies keep and aggregate would probably freak most people the fuck out if they got to see just what they know about us all. seems people just think oh it's just tracking my health, or my location data or my web history, etc not realizing that companies both sell and share data and build massive fucking profiles the likes of which 1984 society wish they could have
