Blizzard Is Worse Than You Thought 

Nah sorry

Maybe later

Bag that money bro

Even though it tries to get my retention. This game will never made for me.

*If you copy and steal my games; Be prepared for unforeseen consequences. -Valve Software.*

The funniest part of that whole long line of fuck-ups is that blizzard was pandering so, SO hard to the chinese market with all that phone game bullshit. And then one of their employees made a tweet that was *slightly* critical of the Chinese government and now they've got a company wide lifetime ban from selling any of their shit in china, forever. They sold out and alienated their core western audience trying to suck China's dick and now they have nothing and nobody. What a loser company run by by losers.

Blizzard: Diablo is mobile. Fanbase: BOOOO!!! Blizzard: Do you guys not have phones? Fanbase: "DEMON SCREECHING"

Diablo Immoral was still a massive financial success, they just didn't realise that BlizzCon isn't the place to market it, since mobile users tend to be on the casual gamer side and dont really go to gaming conventions, while more serious PC gamers go to BlizzCon.

It was one of the devs, not one of their pr people lol...

I can't imagine anyone I've met who loves video games, being able to say those words to an audience with a straight face. If their entire audience was neglected alpha babies who were stuck on tablets all day, they might be right, but a lot of Blizzard enjoyers haven't even touched a mobile game beyond, like, an idle game.

Core memories

I'm surprised the crowd didn't unanimously respond with "f*** you" but I guess he stunlocked everyone with such an insane line

The line was "Do you guys not have phones?".

Nice

Epic gamer moment

And still not have enough

And not have lifeboats

It's funny to think about how bad diablo game pass was. Compare it with Fortnite. You always feel like you get value from a Fortnite game pass.

Of course, people desperate for their lives are ripe for exploitation. Politics have mastered this principle.

Makes sense that Titanic prioritize women

Yea when have they cared about optics, maybe before activision acquired then but certainly not anytime recently

Blizz has had amazing refund policies for their entire existance.

​@@greenyoshi100Yeah right meat rider

@@greenyoshi100 Please stop lying, they really did not have a good policy for refunds and it was not enforceable upon them if you even looked in the direction of the purchased item. Blizzard refund policy: "We'll refund most items that you buy with real money and receive in-game within 14 days of purchase, as long as you have not claimed, opened, or otherwise used the item". What this means is that if you bought a game and opened it (even if it was opened for 1 minute) then you are not legible for a refund, even more stringent for ingame microtranstactions which do not care if you used them or not, you will not get a refund!

@@greenyoshi100 blizzbot

Right? I jumped ship after Wrath of the Lich King, after it had become clear that Blizzard no longer cared about making quality content. Not gonna lie, I got excited when Warcraft 3 reforged was announced, and was keeping an eye on it, but knew better than to pre-order a blizzard product. And I'm glad I went with my gut. Idk how you can so badly botch a masterpiece of the game that you already made and have as a reference point, but it's clear to me "Blizzard" no longer makes games for the fans. It makes them in spite of the fans.

The last expansion I enjoyed was Legion. Since then, we have always received the same thing in slightly worse quality. They deliberately lower the quality. I hope one day there will be a usable single player mode for it.

Let's call it Shitard.

@@robbnoble1509SAME DUDE after wrath and cata the game wasn’t the same and seeing what they did with diablo 3….. I also jumped shit. So glad for grinding gear games for path of exile which has true blizzard engineering in it

Blizzard is gone. Blizzard north is gone.

Thanks for metaphor! I dont play video games so that helps illustrate the frustration

Except that Ferrari People would gladly shell out four digits for Ferrari branded shoes.

Im right there with you. At least we got to enjoy the golden days of gaming and the internet.. it is sad to see what all my beloved franchises and IPs have morphed into. I dont even recognize them anymore.

Same, I distinctly remember Starcraft 2 being one of my staple childhood experiences. It is great to revisit the old glory days sometimes, while not paying current Activision a cent.

lol. i got all of their games. lol

Honestly the players are as much at fault as Blizzard is for that. The $15 horse mount for WoW made more money than one of the Starcraft games in like 2 weeks, so I mean if you're literally giving blizzard your money for trash why wouldn't they capitalize?

Its almost like thats been their policy for years. If someone has an account that they paid for shit on and then the user wants to delete the account they want to make sure its actually you and not some random so they dont have to deal with legal issues. Their privacy policy goes over this in detail.

@@Noriaela on mobile if you click on a username you can see the other comments they've made on that video. You may want to switch to your alt soon so that you can hide your embarrassing blizzard cuckolding.

@@Noriaela cancelling a sub doesn't mean deleting the account you numpty.

​@Noriaela wait, you have to send a photo of your licence to them?

I feel that all this controversies around Blizzard started happening after Overwatch and Legion ended or stopped being popular. Say what you will about Cataclysm, Mists of Pandaria and or Heroes of the Storm, but if you look back at those games you will see that they are much better quality than what they offer today (BfA, Shadowlands, Overwatch 2, Diablo Immortal, etc...) I basically stopped playing Blizzard games after the massive disappointment that was BfA and the Hong Kong event added insult to injury. Certainly don't regret it one single bit, no more subscriptions to play games I already own, no more lackluster content, FOMO, collectionist hell and predatory tactics to keep you engaged every day (Radiant quests, Raid limits, tedious leveling system, etc)

I remember realizing in 2010 that the Blizzard I knew from 2004 until then was gone. I was only 19 and at the time did not fully grasp corporate structures and such but I could *sense* that things were different. From 2005-2008, if you needed help with something, you could open a ticket in-game and a GM (game master) Blizzard employee would send you a private message within minutes, sharing game secrets and memes and role-playing playfully. Whatever you needed--they had your back. By 2010 tickets were taking 6-12 hours and you would get very obviously pre-written template messages from support members who did not feel like they were also players, the way GMs did. Then the "RealID" crap was introduced.. and yeah.. everything slowly diluted into what is now the ultra corporate clean accessible WoW that is devoid of the magic and spirit the original WoW experience had. I grew up playing Warcraft 3 before WoW and then poof, gone, all interest in the franchise and "blizz" as we knew it just vanished.

The unfortunate truth to a decent chunk of older gaming companies. Nice to see you here btw man!

The main founder realized there was no plugging the hole on the sinking ship and realized better to leave with his dignity than stay and be used as a scapegoat

you could have bought Blizzard by now

You could max out two whole Diablo Immortal characters!

@@Christopher-ft7wd Oh no, a youtuber uses ads to make money? Not a sell out, would be if it was an ad for gambling or something as damaging as that. Blizzard screwed up through a history of bad choices and poor management... Hopefully they recover, I loved diablo 2 and Overwatch when it was released, it just got worse the longer it was out.

@@Christopher-ft7wd 🤡

I see only cubicle crawls and layoffs.... before me

thing is as much as i hate blizzard , this is not even core of problem , core of problem is stock exchange , once game companies stopped seing people who buy their game as "clients" , but "product" , (investors are clients now) things went down hill , and its not just blizzard or bigger studios doing this , cyberpunk is forever tainted by same reason and had one of worst releses in recently history.

they learn marketing the wrong way LMAO they need to fire their marketing team for not even passing college first class

Dude think he can Jedi mind trick

@@3takoyakis that's the problem, they only go for class in corrupt broken universities like harvard, that's what you get. they think marketing is telling the customer what to do instead of the other way around. and the stupid "social scientists" (that's not even real science) will say that you're a bigot and privileged and that there's class division in society. on this they're kind of right, there's a class division created by those with fancy diplomas, but that's slowly going to hell as no one can pay for student debt and people realized the racket. university is a MLM scheme

Just goes to show how low studios think of gamers as customers. If that happened in a hotel or a restaurant, that employee would be fired immediately. But somehow it's completely fine to talk to gamers like that even though we're just like any other customer. I think it's because a portion of the fan base gives all gamers a bad rep. Those zombie consumers who will consume anything the company serves up. They think we will all eat up any crap they serve.

It was one of my favorite SNES games. It was alot of fun.

@@sonictimmit’s amazing.

I have blacklisted any Blizzard games, regardless how good the game is, I will never touch it. The sexual harassment suit was the last straw.

@@thecandlemaker1329 Guess you never made anything original in your life that someone corrupted.

Yes, they were upset for a while, but they are still millionaires so we can't feel too sorry for them. It's the slaves in suits working at Blizz that are the sorry bunch. Being a corpo drone is one of the worst jobs in the world.

The fall of blizzard was due to the executives yet they have the gall to blame and fire the devs who were just following and were actually forced to follow orders and yet no manager gets fired

@@Omega-mr1jg Happens everywhere; the overseer's boss(es) demands improvement, and the blame-whip lands on the actual workers. The overseer's boss(es) receives boons and bonuses galore, the overseer receives a head pat and the whisperings of how he is such a good boy, while the workers receive unemployment and/or homelessness should they be out of a job long enough. The stupidest, greediest or most immoral people rise to the top, while the ones who really want nothing to do with this horrible system but to simply be able to work long enough without getting fired for no reason in order to provide for themselves and/or their families and work their way into a better job/life get pushed down.

Has nothing on the Microsoft/Activision merger that forced more than a 1000 layoffs to clear overlaps after telling regulators they wouldn't do so.

Welcome to late stage capitalism, where shareholder value must grow every year at nearly any cost.

Such a shame. I noticed it genuinely got a bit of attention on release (e.g on Twitch it was in like the top 10 or so streamed games for a few days) but it was such a garbage 'reforge'. I still keep up with the Wc3 scene a little because the original game is just so well designed and fun to watch. I don't think it would have been huge if it had been good but I think it genuinely would have expanded the small pool of dedicated players to have modern conveniences with the UI, graphics, world editor, and controls.

Just a heads up, DesignerDave is a kiddie diddler and pathological liar, he is trying to shift the blame for Reforged on Bobby Kotick and ignoring all the culprits from SC2 and other rotten apples from Blizzard, you shouldnt believe anything he claims as he was caught lying and censoring people on his youtube vids.,

​@@moralesterthats thinking like a mentally stable human being. to the higher ups, the goal is money, not legacy, at the end of the day, they get to swim in their money while everyone else loses jobs. Making a good product is always a risk, but using an already established ip is a guarantee that it will at least sell and get word of mouth before release. doesn't matter if its good or not, just that it sells enough, and the less money you put into it means higher profit. if the company fails completely from a bad product, the higher ups jump ship and move on like the parasites that they are to the next company cashing out on the one theu ran int the ground cutting corners. fir Activision/blizzard they knew the company would last longer to make more anyway after this but thats not what you were asking. its the mentality of certain psycho paths (they aren't all this bad) but usually the ones that get into business get to the top and thats why you see this same issue repeat itself in every corner of established media when corporate is to blame.

Yup, and they could easily revive the game and do a lot with it. The engine is amazing, I just hope they dont make a 2nd one and kill it with a less smooth experiance. Current hots feels like sc2 and has the best champions in any game. When I quit playing LoL I went back to HoTS and play it all the time. Tried going bsck to league and I cant play it, it doesnt feel smooth.

And is easily the best moba.

Dota 2 is better than HotS due to its lightning in a bottle beginnings, the cumulative effort that has been put into it since Dota Allstars (2 decades of balancing), an extremely successful custom game option that has spawned moba subgenres like chess aka Teamfight Tactics and Dota Underlords, and so much more. But I will say that from personal exp, HotS is a much more enjoyable game to play with friends on a casual and competitive level, and is actually an amazing game altogether

I don't think I've ever played a game like I played HotS. It hit a perfect spot for me and felt like the first online community I was ever a part of. I played it so much I unlocked every character for free. I put money into it because I wanted to reward the game, in some misguided hope that support above and on top of what I put into the twitch scene could keep that community alive. And look how Blizzard rewarded all of us...

HotS is the only Blizzard game I still play

Even Cyberpunk was a victim of corporate greed. I don't think there is one gaming company that didn't ruin their reputation other than perhaps Supergiant. Unfortunately, the future seems bleak for all games since gacha-models inherited and refined from early games like Maplestory have taken root in the industry. When games Clash of Clans or Genshin Impact both make 10x more money than amazing projects like Elden Ring or BG3, you know the industry is doomed. Over 80% of gaming is mobile nowadays too. I remember when between 2005-2015 amazing games released every year, but now that gap between truly amazing games is getting wider and wider. Even BG3 took so long.

I think this is why people are hesitant to leave or boycott. They have a lot of love and connection to what they USED to be . They keep holding out hope , when they should just outright refuse . It’s yet another layer of exploitation.

Everything goes in cycles. Usually guys who can start a studio and make good games cannot also handle a big company. Bungie is a good example of the same problem. 20 nerds in an office making a masterpiece is not the same as 9000 people across many countries trying to coordinate on something. One is going to figure it out and the other simply costs too much sustain without screwing the player-base for every cent just to keep this 9000-person machine going. I'm convinced you could strip Blizzard down to like 50 people and they would make better games. They wouldn't be live service, and they wouldn't be as big as e.g., D4, but they'd be playable. They'd be priced fairly and they'd patch mistakes (instead of showing up at camp fire chats and over-promising on some BS no one really wants anyway).

I like hots more, it feels like starcraft smooth but has the charecters I like. If they did a lot with the game to make it more in depth like dota but keep it the same champion wise and feel it would be one of their best games. It was a big missed opertunity on their end.

Typical Blizz L and Steam thanks them for the mountains of free cash they made as a result of Blizzard's shortsightedness.

Its gotten better, but its still impossible to justify all the money and dev time that went into what boils down to removing a tank and some graphic overhauls.

Not only helldivers. Look at granblue fantasy relink. Reached 1m sales in 11 days.

But i guess it turned out for the best. It wouldav been a disaster in blizzards hands hell bent on monetization of every godamn element.

At this point Blizzard was already starting to chase trends instead of innovating. Valve however created an entirely new, untapped market.

Bethesda did this by not making starfield mod focused, that alone would've keep the game alive for a decade to come.

Same for Palworld & Nintendo no? 0 understanding of their player base, yet wants to milk every game cash cow for all it's worth and then some.

Because SC2 was a good game and the players' "disgruntlement" is due to the genre falling in popularity, which isn't Blizzard's fault. SC2 is still the most popular RTS game 14 years later.

can you fill "us" in abooot the starcraft bs ? i still play sc2 ... but i dont know all details of the bs ... i wish could still play legacy of the void rules

@@poika22 I'm just glad they left SC2 alone mostly. Let me keep playing Oh no it's zombies and Civilization sapphire, and my parasite games... and all the other amazing arcade games.

its a classic where the OG didnt want to intervene because the new ppl is so bad and so greed. at this point, he would just take it as passive income since its too much hassle for him to intervene. ppl would remember the sequel never built under his hand anyway

yall are weird. i had this attitude about them UNTIL this year. never gave em a cent after mop was done. d3 was terrible, ros was terrible, wasted a lot of time on latter. d4 is, by comparison and even by comparison of modern day arpgs that take time to release and add content to the base game, FAR better. Season of discovery in vanilla WoW is pretty great / fun concept. finally something that wont end up seasonal and will last at 60, adding new raids and content. the cash shop instant level 80 to be able to start leveling in cata "right away" supposedly, i think is fucked, but idk how long that is on the shop in the lifespan of a classic expansion, i dont play these x-pacs since i already did on pservers too much. might play cata since i hav ea sub for SoD, so fuck it. im legit confused why people are crapping on blizz in 2023/4 of all years, when they are actually doing some decent shit..? must be a generational thing. young people want everything immediately. absolutely they have tons of qol and little improvements and some additional perm end game seasonal stuff to repeat every season and be on top of hotfixing exploits. but in d3 vanilla, for 2 years, we ONLY had act 3 inferno to run. over. and over. and over. until we hit 100 paragon, and dropped that coveted legendary with an extremely rare affix roll to make us rich (or give us the perfect item for our build.) i was addicted to this and hated ros speedrun / give u gear fast tracked / no trading / no focus on itemization system and figured id never play a diablo again. d4 is so far ahead of d3's launch BY TODAYS STANDARDS that the crying is getting legit old. move on already, this is approaching clickbait level

Or you could just don't care about companies at all and just play the effin games that you like. The only one here talking about a game developer company as if it's their girlfriend is you. Speaking of self respect how about you go find it yourself? Imagine ranting about a company as if it's a freakin love interest. You clowns

​@@coomsicle I have been playing Blizzard games since 1994. Your name is "coomsicle". You are a zoomer calling actual OGs young people while you lap up the dopamine zoomer shit that caused the fall of Blizzard.

@@coomsicleWhat's the first Blizzard game you ever played? When did you start playing Blizzard's games? Pure curiosity here is all

@@coomsicleThey fell so low that anything slightly positive they do is great in comparison lol, but its still shit.

"Don't you guys have funds?"

@@AllenLSwain 💀💀💀

It's 2024 and I still don't play a single game on my phone lol.

@@TwistLosi I have but are all emulated games. Cause app games suck!

@@lengeyart np, we'd expect this from a user who overuses skull emojis on youtube

Microsoft will probably lay off most of Blizzard's current employees and farm the games out to somebody who knows what they're doing. They've done pretty decent over the years as a games publisher, especially with the Age of Empires series.

@@damianjblackI lost hope when blizzard failed me on dragon fight and I stopped playing Diablo four because of the way treated the game.

Blizzard will never be shut down. The brand is too recognizable. Blizzard is itself at least as big of a name as their games are. Why would Microsoft give that up? Even if the game is developed by NetEase or whoever, they can advertise it as "the next Blizzard game" and edit together trailers showing all the old games people remember fondly.

@@poika22 Of course, if WoW would never be allowed to die, whether with xpacks or WoW 2 or whatever, Blizzard could be kept around. But plenty of studios have been shut down or killed, and when EVERYONE is making videos about how bad Blizzard is - do you really think Microsoft would care for a miracle to turn it around? People want Blizzard to die. Nobody is rooting for them. Starcraft 2 is a deadweight. Hearthstone and Overwatch a penny collectors. Diablo 4 is a neither here nor there. WoW is is the cornerstone of Blizzard, the reason they got bought by Activision in the first place. Rememebr all those controversies with PS? It was about Call of Duty. That's the big name. That's what Microsoft has been interested in in the long run. And even THAT part is being "optimized now". If even Call of Duty's future isn't bright - do you really think Blizzard is safe?

@@WirxawTanev Yes, I think Blizzard is safe. Not the employees of course. It might just be one guy in an empty office or just a name in the books. But there is absolutely no reason to shut down company. "Everyone" is making videos about how bad Blizzard is, but first of all people who watch this type of stuff are a tiny, tiny, minority of people who buy video games, and secondly even the people who do watch this stuff will forget in a year or two when they tease the remake or sequel for a game from their childhood.

...I raided at 60, 70, 80, & 85... but i didn't play *_Pandaria_* at 90: But I came back & "dipped my toes" into 100 & 110... I thought it was pretty fun to send your *_Followers_* on *_Garrison Missions_* & get rewards, but, I don't remember raiding at all... So, maybe it was just my situation & limited game-time, or was raiding harder to get into as a Casual Gamer for those later *_Expansions_* ???

You're being overly blinded by nostalgia. First Starcraft: Good game, but had its share of characters who grabbed the idiot ball and needless grimdark. Kerrigan's development in particular wasn't very sensical; she had a darkness but she wasn't SO petty that she'd choose revenge against an entire race because one guy outsmarted her one time. Brood War is largely undone within the story, and it depends on characters grabbing the idiot ball. Second Starcraft: Still had moments of darkness, hardship losses sacrifice and struggles but also had real hope, Kerrigan managing to pull off a believable redemption later on (the last half of HOTS and LOTV show her being pretty pleasant and genuinely helping others Gameplay wise Starcraft 2 had more variety, more presentation and more immersion.

@@ryanmoore6259 Define "needless Grimdark" in a setting with literal hordes of Monsters consuming everything in their path, a highly advanced Alien Race destroying planets because they saw "one cockroach" and human penal colonies ripe with corruption, violence and power struggles! I mean, what kind of story were you expecting in such a setting? Romeo and Juliet in Teletubbie Land? Thats what they provided with Starcraft 2.0 and it was Disney Mickey Mouse BS!
