Immortal and the decision on how to announce it has put the chances at me ever buying a Blizzard game again at about 1%.

Actually, it's the balancing has been needed for quite some time, it's been the same shit for the last 3 seasons. Meta is mainly single push builds or Rat runs (3 necros + 1 zdps) and the buffs are not as overpowered as they seem. it's not going to make current shit builds like Whirlwind Barb hit GR 150 but it will hopefully make the shit builds that haven't been viable for anything other than casual play for over a year at least relevant.

Not any more, buddy. I can't wrap my brain around how young people think of work. They all seem like hustlers.

Sounds like the canceled Diablo IV might have been Dark Soulesque in nature. I would love to see that.

Blizzard’s Lawyers asked me to take down the playdiablo4.com redirect. • r/pathofexile
He changed the redirect to a google image search for phones

The most telling comment in that Kotaku article is the undoubtable truth that Activision is struggling on how to monetize Diablo IV. For all the monies, not some of the monies.
This whole fucking games as a service has ruined gaming as we old farts know it. I hate the financial arguments because I always have this kernel of thought that the companies have to make money after all.
HOWEVER. when a company STARTS with the question "how do I monetize this beyond box sales, over the maximum amount of time" instead of "how can we make a game that people want to buy and play", we all lose.
Fuck you Activision/Blizzard. All you had to do was remaster D2 and add expandable inventory and your fans would have been mollified for years. YEARS. Instead you catered to the East and made a fucking phone app.
Brilliant.
Edit - Also the whole part about "many of our designers play mobile games": Well, fuck me running, then don't they understand how shit these games are compared to PC games (or console games)? So this is the future of gaming as millennials take over the design and programming? Stop retiring, my gen x compatriots!

They're going to have to come with something groundbreaking in order for them to redeem themselves with the Diablo. They lost ALOT of faith from the fans. My hopes isnt high with D4.

Honestly, i would expect something lost arkish - ARPG with MMO features (which is what it sounds like the direction is going after the 2016 scrapped version), which i would be fine or evan ecstatic with as long as they don't anything stupid like RMAH again.

This video sheds alot of light on things if they are true and many of the points does makes sense. If they are going with that route then I'm all for it. I'm fucking loving Lost Ark.

It's gonna be:
1. online/service only
2. heavily monetized, and that's after box sales
3. infected with consolitis (and mobilitis)
So yeah, I'm more looking forward to never seeing another Diablo game than not. And I''l even admit that D2 remaster and a new D2 (yeah, 2; not a typo) expansion is all what I would actually like, since D2 is immune to all the garbage listed above. The former will happen eventually, but that's about it.
It's still looking grim, have to keep the torch on while wandering in exile.
