Creatively bankrupt for a long time

Almost all their games are initerative works as well, never completely new ideas

Blizz north was great though

It came out that blizzard's teams only play mobile games now, if they play games at all.

To me it sounds like a writer who doesnt read or an artist who doesn't look at the work of other artists. It's impossible to grow or even maintain a level of competency if you don't have a diverse line of fresh inspiration in you.

Mobile market had hopes at one time but that shit went to cashgrab dogshit.

To be fair broodwar was their last great game, they should just focus on supporting the small scene they haven't completely wiped off the face of the earth.

WC3 wasn't such a huge step down though the ridiculous cartooning of the series coming off BW and WC2's grittier feels... it still hurts to this day.

Modern blizzard is just a sham crafted off the remains of what once was.

WC3 was good too, but BW was just a magical success, the pro scene is still really good nowadays.

Its the problem of allowing fans to join your company.
Fans never understand what makes a thing good.
All their suggestions are bad creative decisions.
If you listen to fans you make a shit product, if you ignore them you at least have a chance to appease a new audience.

The best thing to do financially is completely ignore old fans and focus entirely on new demographics, which is what they did with WOW and Overwatch.

>Officially endorsed mod by one guy
>Blizzard remake

But then you are appealing to the least common denominator and you end up making shitty mobile games with micro transactions because 2 billion chinese people have no taste, but piss away money on it.

Maybe that is the best financial decisions, but your products turn to garbage.

Their fans are ravenous gullible retards who will eat up whatever they shit out.

damn it's cute

They launched a huge new IP three years ago, user. Before that it had been over a decade since their last new IP, and that's if you count WoW as being separate from Warcraft.

Because they respect women.
Whenever a woman gets a stupid idea at blizzard, they don't call the idea stupid or oppose it. Instead they Listen&Believe regardless of how dumb the idea is.

Overwatch is a new IP retards

Blizzard has not had an original idea in years, they just copy popular games and simplify them for snapper heads.

wow copied eq, hots copied dota, ow copied tf2, hearthstone copied magic

Thats literally every game company

Everything is derivative but don't act like Blizzard doesn't directly rip off other IPs to an extreme extent. The only creative part of their team are the retards shitting all over the WoW lore with fanfiction tier writing.

Well if you knew some history about blizzard, since game 1 they copied the games they liked, they just changed the skin, basically

i think the only original game was the lost vikings, and no one knew that shit

All the talent has long since left or promoted themselves out of development.

Thankfully FFXIV is bleeding their sub money dry.

because all of their creative talent left long ago.

They have no talent, future IPs will be shit

how much of a brainlet are you to get upset at this.

they trotted out their interns and non core employees?

The guys that make the sausage are still there.

I'm a realist, I've seen this trend so many times.
I'm not brainlet, you just don't have my perspective or my knowledge.

>RAINBOW GOOD!

Because they're owned by Activision who only want sure bets. Big winners for chicken dinners. Nothing risky, nothing that can fail, and nothing that splits up the company into teams when you can just sink tens of thousands of hours into a sure bet.

They chose this future.

Pride day turned into pride week then month and now its pride forever

Test

Exactly.

I know theres a female mod who gets offended by cute and funny so she has to ban all discussion of it.

Activision.

>female mod
is that why Yea Forums is shit?

For some context, blizzard didn’t make that artwork change, if I recall correctly it was a crowdfunded effort from Carbot animations (a YouTube channel that made funny/cute clips in that style) that got a lot of traction. Blizzard is just sharing on their page the cool new game mode that became available...

theyre still selling it for 9.99 shekels

Because all the remotely talented people left the company at the latest around early WoW.

Wait, it's fucking real?
I thought this was some fucking newgrounds meme art

bli$$ard is taking fan art and selling it at a premium.

New IPs don't sell
Well, the thing is they could POTENTIALLY sell, but having a big name tacked to it is 'safer'

This, but then you have to remember that they then warp the genre into a stagnant mess as everyone then imitated Blizzards latest turd which only succeeded because they had a collection of moronic fans who ate up everything they crapped out since the original Warcraft.
Which in itself was a worse copy of what Westwood had done in Dune 2. (3 years after the fact, and the ONLY area they improved on Dune 2 in was being able to command FOUR WHOLE UNITS at once, where Dune 2 only let you command 1 at a time.)
A year later, Westwood makes Command and Conquer, actually pushing the RTS genre forward, letting you control as many units as you at at once.
That same year, Warcraft 2 drops, with a command limit of 9. Which Blizzard eventually worked up to 12 before they realized they were incompetent and stopped making RTS games for a while, before starting again while adding bad fanfiction to one of their beloved series.

Meanwhile, EA buys Westwood, and turns C&C3 into a hybrid of Westwood-style and Blizzard Style RTS. Thus did the RTS genre stagnate and die in the wake of Blizzard's retarded fanbase.

New ideas are much riskier than rehashing an old idea. And considering that AAA video games cost a lot to make, you want to reduce the risk as much as possible to make sure you get a return on your investment.
Plus, all the talent from their golden years have already left.

lost all the talent in the actishittin merger

PTSD from Titan

This doesn't look like a cartoon, it looks like shitty flash animation from the 2000's. Anyone saying it looks good is being ironic, r-right? youtube.com/watch?v=_vw3e2ztzPM

Blizzard will be dead by 2029
