You either die a hero, or live long enough to get bought out by a major publisher and gutted for every penny you're worth

Hardcore / Legacy fans for blizzard games are no longer the core target audience.
They realise they can make more money aiming to hit the newer casual gamer than the older hardcore games. A vocal minority of fans will make a lot of noise, but ultimately outside of a few very specific cases, aiming to the casual market makes more money. You cant blame them. Despite it being frustrating to me and I definitely agree with the complaints. With how expensive it is to make games these days gearing your product towards a niche market of hardcore fans just isnt financially viable.

They shouldve bought GGG and Path of Exile, too late since Tencent is way smarter than their ass.

No way will they let Warcraft StarCraft and Diablo just end You should check out what they did with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Guitar Hero before they executed those franchises unceremoniously Get ready for a surge of shitty spinoffs and mobile games before those games are just dead and gone, with one dogshit revival after a few years just to drive home the fact that if they could nail those franchises to a cross, they would --- Join the Nintendo Fun Club today, Mac! ...

Wow, you mean to tell me a company bought out by Activision is gonna churn out garbage games and get worse overall? Im shocked. This is totally the first time this has ever happened.

At the very least WoW will survive. It still makes a lot of money It really doesn't...at least not compared to something like Overwatch. The game is losing people on the daily. Its no coincidence that they tied a rather unique mount like the pirate ship to paying for 6 months of sub time upfront...no matter what they want people to believe. --- This is my signature.
