| Topic | blizzard throwin shade at EA lmao |

TF2 was once a paid game, but went F2P when they decided the F2P+Microtransaction model made more sense. helIy posted... J_Dawg983 posted...Well they made diablo 3 a shit game and theyre forever on my shit list. Only after they abandoned their original monetization plan that resulted in the core loot mechanics of the game being gutted to promote AH use and thereby make ActiBlizz more money. People saying Diablo 3 sucked are generally saying that because they tried it near launch and were so thoroughly disappointed that they have no interest in giving it another chance, rather than based on trying it more recently. The only reason the game's any decent now is because people hated the RMAH so much that Blizzard needed to axe it for the game to have any chance of continued success (which is to say, further updates and content releases to sell more copies and entice existing players to buy DLC/expansions, as well as any ability to ever hype a Diablo 4). They made Diablo 3 a bad game with their monetization ideas, and fixed them not out of any sort of good will, but because the bad PR was hurting their bottom line. --- This is my signature.
