    That Blizzard is selling their games on Steam at all speaks volumes about how poorly they are doing.

    All of the design talent and experience has been purged from their ranks in the last 10-12 years. They are a trash tier developer and have burned all the nostalgic goodwill of their past successes.

    Kotick killed the golden goose, ruined countless careers and lives, and now he gets to leave with hundreds of millions at the end of the year. Capitalism at is finest.

      It’s so sad to see one of the greatest gaming companies in history go down such a dark path…

      It feels like almost yesterday when I was unwrapping that fresh copy of WarCraft II and being stunned by the CGI intro, seeing the Orcs on their great warships and thinking “Holy hell”.

      What happened, man? Why does money ruin absolutely fucking everything?

        Why does money ruin absolutely fucking everything?

        Because nobody who gets a sufficiently large amount of it to stop worrying about their finances is ever satisfied with that amount of money.
