    Blizzard have no shame. They want a lot of money for the game, more money for subscribtion and even more money for cosmetics in the store.

      Right there with you. I don’t enjoy OW2 as a heals & tank specialist. I have a pet theory that they should have bifurcated the tanks in OW1 into two different required classes and kept 6v6.

      Looking forward to this, just in time for summer:

        I still can't process how Blizzard fans got that excited when World of Warcraft's latest content was a rollback of content.

    Share holders decide one-time payment games don't make enough money

    CEO transfers their major IPs to a "pay as you go" service promising a steady stream of new content to be worth it

    Degrades or drops older games that players still enjoy to force the new games-as-a-service model

    Players expect new content that was promised in exchange for the seasonal payments they now make

    Surprised Pikachu face

    Those smug assholes have been whining about "entitled" players since WotLK after the rightfully negative reception of the artistically lazy "Argent Crusade" gearsets that looked like tracksuits and were hard to tell apart from each other, class by class.

    Yes, people want new stuff, problem is blizzard doesn’t know how to make games anymore. All of the giants who made the magic happen left the company before the sexual harassment shitstorm. All they do now is capitalize on nostalgia.

      When the original main Diablo maker left to make Torchlight after criticizing the company for being a corrupt and gross place to work, the corpos left behind tweeted "fuck that loser" about him. capitalist-laugh
