No offense, but I wouldn't believe a damn word that comes out of Jason Schreiers mouth. He's nothing but a slimy used car salesman. After reporting on various games that turned out to be completely wrong, and saying people who like Dragon's Crown are pedophiles. He literally just talks out of his ass and hopes someone notices the word spray he made with his shit.

But in other news that I found absolutely just mind bendingly baffling:

https://www.pcgamer.com/blizzard-is-reportedly-working-on-a-pokemon-go-style-game-based-on-warcraft/

"I heard Pokemon GO was successful! What if we made Pokemon Go but with WARCRAFT?‽ Eh? EH?"

It's obviously best to take anything from Kotaku with a grain of salt, but some of the core allegations are certainly consistent with what we've been hearing (and speculating) elsewhere. If anything else I'm inclined to believe he has a better shot of getting hold of genuine Blizzard insiders (where all this info comes from) than most people who claim to have anonymous sources, and if the Warcraft mobile story is true I wouldn't bet against most of the other allegations. We'll have to see.

They could not find a way to add loot boxes without pissing people off but they did it anyway, top tier PR right there, i partially blame Japan for this because they need to brag about how much dosh they get every year in mobile games Fate/GO practically could buy Venezuela two times if they get serious about it but the main thing is that in those games you already have a mindset of what you are getting into it you just dont simply pick a franchise that have a set of rules about how is going to be, fuck the rules to oblivion and then put microtransactions then expect that the fans play the game or ELSE they are going to cancel the good game they are (probably) working on it

Blizzard should stop trying to do whatever everyone else is doing and innovate, we already have Fortnite and PUBG to isolate the insufferable millenial wannabe gamer

Edit: Holy shit

I love how no one cares about this anymore because it's been overshadowed by Fallout 76. Shows how stupid and petty the gaming "community" is.

So do we have to stay mad about everything forever for our criticism to be valid? Or, what's the correct thing to be mad about not to be stupid and petty, in your opinion?

you fucks grew rich and famous on games like starcraft, warcraft and diablo. none of them were monetized, all of them were still massively profitable.

Yeah, but in order to be profitable, you needed a good product and that is expensive to be made.
Also, it certainly doesn't help that all these modern game devs have bloated management structures where the ratio of managers to actual developers is almost 1:1. It certainly doesn't help that instead of 2 or three decent writers with a vision, you have 4+ teams of writers, all just doing aspects of the game while some corporate cocksucker tells them to go down the committee approved, focus-group tested route. It certainly doesn't help that those in charge of the creative process are bookkeepers who have a seething contempt for gamers and their tastes. It certainly doesn't help that what used to be a massive success 10+ years ago is not even considered average but an outright failure nowadays, since said corporate cocksuckers expect every game to rake in a quarter billion dollars on its release weekend alone.

Gaming has become too big, the structures that have grown inside the formerly so well-reknown studios have grown like cancer and strangle them to death. You can't make a humble game that sells well within its niche, it has to be a major fucking record-beater on the mainstream market, otherwise it's not seen as worthy of the effort of making another game in that franchise.
It's ridiculous.

Blizzard has currently shut their fucking mouths about their in development mobile title and no one can actually play it so why should everyone be constantly pissed about it for an entire month? Meanwhile Bethesda actually went ahead and released their early alpha abortion and is currently digging themselves into new, deeper holes every single day.
