Huh? Lol. Lost Ark is a good looking game and has some of the best boss fights of any game that exists.

This is Blizzard. All they have left are developers recycling the content their predecessors made. Hell, they can't even do that correctly.

Current league, 3.20, has been pretty good. 3.18 was good too, people seem to gloss over that for some reason.
Not denying they've had some stinkers lately accompanied by (still) puzzling gameplay changes.

Law Firm "Investigating" Diablo Immortal Item Nerf - Blue's News Comments
Law firm Migliaccio & Rathod announces it is investigating False Advertising allegations about Diablo Immortal, presumably to facilitate a class action suit. At issue are the mechanics of a premium item which changed after players paid for it. Here's word on the hazards of nerfing items in a pay-to-win game:
Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is currently involved in the Diablo Immortal False Advertising Investigation, for Activision-Blizzard’s false advertisement of the effect of a purchasable, in-game item in Diablo Immortal. The “Blessing of the Worthy” legendary gem, purchasable in bundles that could cost over $100, changes the description of its effect in vastly different, and detrimental, ways as the gem is leveled up.
At level two, the item’s description that the player has a chance to deal damage equal to their maximum health is changed at level three to state that the player has a chance to deal damage equal to their current health. This means that rather than dealing a fixed amount of damage equal to one’s maximum health, the amount of damage that could be dealt instead changes with the player’s current health and is therefore less than previously understood, since the effect is only triggered when the player takes damage.
Rather than offer refunds or some form of compensation, Blizzard has instead responded to the Blizzard community by stating that they will change the item’s text description to reflect its actual effect, at level three. This practice essentially amounts to a bait-and-switch, since a purchasable item was advertised with one effect that players wanted and ended up with something completely different.

They'd have better luck on any game that is primarily non-english, very few games actually hire someone bilingual to translate and google does a hilariously bad job in item descriptions. You could get hundreds of games that fit that DI lawsuit description

That cinematic lacked the polish I’m used to from Blizzard. Has the cinematic department finally succumbed to the blight that has infected the rest of the company?

The really good cinematics are made by some other studio which does all the big reveal cinematics that we're used too (D4 reveal with Lilith, then Inarius reveal were made by the good studio). This one, and the Rogue reveal cinematic were made by someone else.
