Activision stock falls 7+ percent.
Chinese company known already for Pay2win diablo knockoffs... now getting the diablo license.
The guy in the audience that asks "Is this an out of season april fools joke?"
Premium Link Upgrade
Take a looksie at that like/dislike ratio, if you want proof that Blizzard/Activision just utterly fucked itself by NOT working on Diablo 4. No PC plans for immortal.
Thoughts:
I remember when the diablo 3 console release was viewed with intense skepticism. Like.. it was tolerated, but definitely frowned upon. Then the auction house snafu. Then years of garbage 'seasonal' DLC.
Franchises that become 'too big to fail' = garbage.
Granted... all of these franchises are no longer the same ***** ~ the team, at least the majority of many, MANY AAA titles.. is no longer the same. They left to go elsewhere and start their own studios.
Outsourcing your game to another studio doesnt give you a get out of jail free card ~ the chinese tech guys have been making diablo clones for a while. They are.. oddly.. a good choice to continue the franchise.
Blizzard, on the other hand.. has pissed off the guys, at it's own event, who each shelled out 1000$ for a ticket.. and they didnt see this **** coming?!
How do you get SO out of touch with your own fans?!
ANywho.
