It's the first diablo game I've ever played and I had a blast with it. I don't get the joke
I don't get the joke
That's because it's not funny. It's just self-righteous nonsense.
The joke is "blizzard bad lol" wich is true and funny.
i mean, not that self righteous nor nonsense when the joke is literally a large portion of us are aware that blizzard is a shite corrupt company with shite corrupt money grab tactics, specializing in hyping shit up and then letting people down while not giving a fuck.
better still, people just shell out that money to be let down time and time again, and lo, the complaints will start, the articles get fired up, and we have nice again enter into the blizzard cycle of of disappointment.
i put them on fucking watch with the shit they were doing for cataclysm. diablo 3 had a strong start but was overall meh.
overwatch was good for a time, then went to shit. they made change after change and it eventually became largely meaningless.
overwatch 2 is a joke. diablo mobile was a super obvious money grab.
and now tadaaaaaa diablo, and tadaaa lackluster promises and pay traps.
and people bitching about it.
and then articles getting written about it.
the circle of blizzard life.
A/B is known for predatory actions towards players.
That’s capitalism for you. Doesn’t stop the Diablo games from being a lot of fun.
They aren't any more predatory than any other big game firm, and far less than others like EA.
AB is known for being a shit place to work, hostile work environments, low pay, and a multitude of sexual harassment suits. They're a shit company.
It's not a joke, it's a self righteous rant by someone who likes to think they're better than you because they don't like popular thing.
