Bethesda, BioWare, and Blizzard: They were all good companies twenty-five years ago, and now, one is in the dumpster, one is teetering over the dumpster, and one is basically okay. We've already discussed Blizzard at length, there's nothing much more to be said. Too bad what became of the company, but it is what it is. BioWare, man, they published the BEST WRPGs of our childhoods, 1998-2007 was pure gold from them, and then they fell off of a cliff. I guess Mass Effect 2 was good, and ME3 was tolerable if you can accept its flaws, but boy oh boy, did Dragon Age go in a different direction. DA4 does not look good to me at all. And I never played Andromeda, but I've heard it's trash. It's a huge shame, too, but that's the fate of companies that get eaten by larger, soulless companies. Activision for Blizzard and EA for BioWare. I don't even think of them as the same companies that made the good games of my teenage years, it's whatever. And as for Bethesda? Nothing's changed at all. I know a lot of people champion Morrowind as being infinitely better than Skyrim, but you know what, they're both good. Fallout 4 isn't awful, even if it's not as good as New Vegas (I am aware NV wasn't made by Bethesda, shut up). Like, sure, there's been a dip, but TES6 might very well be a great game, Bethesda has not completely burned its goodwill like the other B-named companies.

Call of Duty on Battle.net: You know, ideologically, I shouldn't have a problem with this, it's not like anyone is forcing me to buy it... but I dislike it anyway. It's like, it's so at odds with everything else on Battle.net, in the sense that everything Blizzard has ever made is very nerd-oriented except for Overwatch, and then you have the most mainstream basic bitch dudebro series ever. It just sort of becomes emblematic of how modern Blizzard isn't 90s Blizzard anymore, and never will be again.

6 Bastion Team: Ugh. It sounds funny, and it is, but as soon as two people chose the same character, suddenly everyone did, and your team is fucked. Well, it's either fucked or it's suddenly way too strong. Most characters aren't good when you have multiples of them, but sometimes you get six Roadhogs or Torbjorns or something, and it's a nightmare. Bastion is one of the ones who benefits from multiples of himself. I know limiting the teams to just one version of each hero is kind of lame and bad, but the alternative is six Hanzo teams, so I'll take it.

Being Corrupted into a Being Raid Boss: "You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." I guess that's not really true, since Gelbin Mekkatorque has been around since 2004, done nothing the entire time, and is still the King of the Gnomes, with his only plot development being that there are now more gnomes for him to be the king of. What WC3 characters are even left to be corrupted into being raid bosses? I think it's just Jaina, Tyrande, Malfurion, and Thrall, right? Everyone else is either already a raid boss or dead, right? Am I forgetting anyone? Fucking Shandris, maybe? Honestly, it's possible that any or all of them have been raid bosses already, and just not been killed in the lore. In any case, the most undignified example is surely Kael'thas, I don't think anyone can argue that. Illidan is also REALLY bad, but at least he didn't become a drug addict.

Final Fantasy XIV: I've never played this, but I'm aware this is WoW's only real competition ever. Good for it, I guess. Doesn't seem to have forced WoW to improve, though.
