They really did. Even got some Doralingus & Associates vibes from some of these.

I think they literally replaced the game people owned prior, and removed features.

I definitely remember that they made legal language for it so if anyone made anything like DoTA out of it again, they’d own it.

Of course, the game was rejected by the community.

Edit:

…but was plagued by bugs, a lack of features and poor design choices such as the “massive” user interface. German magazine GameStar opined that the remaster was still a good game in regards to its single-player, despite it not including the promised changes and additions, but its multiplayer features were now either worse than before or non-existent.

Player response was overwhelmingly negative. On release, the game was review-bombed by users on Metacritic, temporarily becoming the lowest score ever for a Blizzard game, before being surpassed by 2022’s Diablo Immortal.

Well, to put it succinctly:

Iirc it’s decidedly uncool, with how gimped the remastered version of Warcraft 3 is.

That’s not how simp is used in this context, you intentionally obtuse pedanic British cigarette.

He’s not a “Sucker Idolizing Mediocre Pussy”

He’s a man making sure women feel a little safer.

Using the word “SIMP” in this context runs counter to every example of protective familymen I’ve ever seen. Derision against his behavior is as good as calling yourself a creep, a predator, an enemy of all that is good and right.

You have the morals of an opportunistic thug … yet I have no doubt you think yourself some kind of faithful man

Look at the reality of what has happened to animal rights progress after the animal rights movement was effectively replaced.

It has flatlined entirely.

It would actually have happened an infinite amount of times already, if either the universe is infinite, or there are infinite universes.

This is the casually dismissive attitude that got you the next 4 years. You should know how this would go, but you’re apparently still in a bubble?

Great grandparents minds are blowing up in graves all over the world like pagers in the Levant.

So basically you think I’m wrong that it would be that unpopular of a decision.

Yeah, the quick way to filter them is a quick way to piss off Metacritic users.

How the fuck can you claim to have read what I wrote?

That kind of removal would be unpopular, a lot of people would drop Metacritic fast.

You didn’t read what I wrote.

You only saw the disagreement.

Is that really the smart thing?

I’m fairly confident that would be about as good for them as shooting themselves in the foot.

You have to realize what world you’re living in. These people and their agreeing friends aren’t just a loud minority, just yesterday they demonstrated something that really should have informed your worldview more than it seems to have, given what you suggest here. That kind of removal would be unpopular, a lot of people would drop Metacritic fast.

To an extent I agree with them, in that they ruined the tone of the game, but unlike these reviewers I personally think developers are allowed to make standalone slop. It doesn’t ruin anything I’ve bought from them before.

Finally by all reasonable accounts it absolutely is a woke, pronoun-conscious, DEI focused game. Those words wouldn’t even really be out of place if one showed up in a positive review.

You have to learn to think before you make yourself more unpopular.

Yeah, I’m not surprised some people do it. I’ve never done it myself though, it’s kind of the point of some kinds of pizza, I like foods sauced in flavorful oils.

I’d be interested to know how big.a proportion of vsrious styles of pizza’s grease can actually be removed with a napkin.

Wouldn’t be surprised if some pepperoni pizzas release much more than 0.5% of their grease to pool on top.

What do you think lol, these journalists aren’t worth shit. They just write slop all day.

Yeah, people not getting that is a prime example of the sad state of contemporary media literacy.

Idiot.

I’m pro trans rights and I still see Veilguard as more sabotage than success. Extremely unintelligent messaging.

Still just 2% of global CO2 emissions
