The Blizzard that made good games died many years ago.
It’s like the ship of theseus, but shit. The shit of theseus.
shit of feceus. it was right there, man…
hahaha excellent
FYI, I posted your comment above on !funny@sh.itjust.works, I hope you don’t mind!
Aw thanks.
No, I’ve been actively boycotting them for many years by now.

Well, that’s on you, really. :D
Two huge mistakes.
Why pre-order something digital? I never understood that.
It’s not the Blizzard that used to make games we loved anymore. It’s just a name now, and behind that a corporation focused on maximum profit exclusively.
The Warcraft III Reforged shitshow was definitely something to behold
The most amazing part was the claim that the in-game soundtrack was reencoded as lossless audio.
I looked at the new audio as a spectrograph and compared it to the original MP3s. Not only were they the same level of compression as the originals, they were the same exact graphs. The same files, renamed from .mp3 to .flac.
That’s some proper gaslighting!
Well yeah - they recorded the MP3s as lossless audio, clearly
No
Signing that one.
No.
I don’t really expect anything good coming from them. To me the likes of Blizzard, Ubi, Bioware, Bethesda, EA etc are shareholder-driven companies, that stopped innovating a long time ago and now only produce and regurgitate the absolute bare minimum slop.
I have been pleasantly surprised on occasion, like for ubi’s Anno 1800, or blizzard’s diablo 2 remake, but they’re few and far between.
Nope.
of course not.
Boycotting Blizzard is all about their shitty behavior as a company since long before the games they made turned bad too.
I’ve long stopped caring about them, really. From what I’ve heard, the Diablo 2 remaster was pretty good, so it’s likely that Warcraft 2 might actually be a good remaster, too. It’s not like they’re promising a whole world of stuff like they did with Warcraft 3 Refunded.
Me? I ain’t buying it. BRL buying power is shit 🇧🇷 🏴☠️
Broodwar remaster was also good. If they faithfully uprez the graphics, fix severe bugs, and do nothing else then there’s hope. The 2D remasters have a good track record so far.
That said, had anyone played WC2 recently? It’s pretty rough. It’s fun for nostalgia sake and if you’re into the lore of Warcraft or the history of RTS, but it doesn’t hold up like Broodwar still does.
Yeah like what’s actually the point? WC2 is not a game that holds up today compared to where the genre has gone.
Haven’t since overwatch 1 came out
Would be foolish not to go patient on it after Reforged. After D2R, I’m not completely writing it off, though.
This will be the big test of if being brought out will help them.
They’re sitting on such amazing IPs but have just fucked everything recently. Except diablo 2. That was great.
I live in hope as warcraft is still my absolute favourite game series.
I guess they could make good games, it’s in their interest, I’m not going to give them money either way.
