I know it's an old tweet but jeez. Yes, yes it was Donald Trump's fault, not yours for massively underestimating what your primarily PC gaming customers might want.

yeah, the internet found this because this guy still works there and recently called Asmongold an asshole.

yes blizzard, call one of your biggest streamers, and probably only reason people still play your shit games, an asshole publicly

Blizz fans: "HELLO, CONTEXT!!! YOU THERE?"

the context was that a guy on twitter was saying the ff14 community should mass report asmongold to get him banned.

It is trump's fault, but the game was probably also a shitty idea. It just doesn't doesn't make sense to let trump off the hook for anything.

Trump deserves a lot of blame. But not for Blizzard being dumb and being owned by Activision.

Devs always have excuse to perform bad, the worst one is we worked long hours on this game.

  1. No one can prove that its true.
  2. If it were true, it does not excuse you from doing bad work. We all work long hours sometimes, it doesnt not make us immune from criticism.

WoW sucks hard now. They clearly dont care about player enjoyment but about stakeholders so they implement shit that will make their numbers look good to stakeholders at the sacrifice of players having fun. Activisions influence has been more and more obvious. Used to be that the developers really cared about making a game fun for players but now its all about the stakeholder earnings calls.

I went to check his Twitter to see if he's had any more interesting takes but it's private. I guess he called Asmongold an asshole the other day and it went about as well as you'd expect. What a dumbass.

It's fine given the fact that there is also a Diablo 4 coming out. But at the time, when that's all that was announced at a time when people just wanted another main game, it wasn't the best decision.

I'm all for blaming Trump for everything but this is just stupid. The Diablo fanbase has been extremely passionate long before Trump decided to get into politics.

It reminds me of that Huffpost article with the writer openly talking about treating homeless people like shit because Trump's win somehow took all the compassion from them.

The problem wasn't Diablo Immortal, but the lack of any other big announcement. They even teased something big on Twitter, but has to dial it back likely because D2R and D4 weren't ready to show.
Also, Asmon is kind of an asshole, but I think he's the type of person to admit that. Obviously it doesn't excuse disparaging content creators who are advertising your fans, but are critical of their perceived issues.
As for WoW, I think they really have a problem with development, and have for a long time. They cannot consistently get good content out on time. I think there probably too many politics when expressing ideas (and dev leaks point to as much) and covid really doesn't help that process.

I actually attended that Blizzcon and was in the audience when they announced Diablo Immortal. The silence was deafening. Im not a huge Diablo fan so I didnt care but you could tell people had their hopes up for a D4 announcement. I think if they announced the mobile game but gave people a teaser about D4, even if just a title on a blank screen, it would have been received much differently. However the lack of foresight there just means that the developers are that much out of touch of their player base.

Not just that, they saved immortal for the last thing they announced, where the big item is usually announced. They could have saved everything if they ended with a black screen with D4 on it.

Is asmongold really that big of a deal? I know hes a big streamer and I do actually watch his YouTube video and never understood the hate for him. But I didnt realise he was so influential. Like far more so than most other streamers or youtubers

Thye did that with D3 and later regretted it saying it built up expectations too early. There were posts all over saying they were working on D4 but probably too early to show anything. There was obviously some fucked up communication from upper management (again).

Only for WoW. The only reason he's not more influential is that people at Blizz hate him.

There may be some validity, at a stretch, in the thought that Trump's presidency and this reaction to the Diablo game share a common root cause.

That doesnt matter. It is worse when you have utter garbage at the last slot.

His stream yesterday had over 200,000 viewers. That is more than most games have players playing at one time.

It's not rhetoric we just don't want to play shitty phone games. They're shit gambling simulators disguised as "gameplay". The fact that they think a hard line/ no compromise political discourse is responsible for the fact that we won't smile while they shovel shit down our throats is a lot more revealing than the toxic player questions from that infamous Blizzcon event. A lot more.

Activision just outsourced the Diablo name to some Chinese company to turn into a cash grab slot machine game. Fans saw through that shit from the start.
