Weird times we live in where player counts are at an all time high yet everything is closing and shutting down 😭

They would rather repeatedly shoot themselves in the foot than listen to the fucking customer base they serve. Then they’re also surprised when prioritizing advertiser money further alienates players

They only care about profits and the customer base is completely out of touch with that. The companies do not give a fuck about making good games because good games are not as profitable as the games that milk you for every dime. 

They aren't shooting themselves in the foot, you just think they are because you want them to make good games, but that is not their prerogative.

Lol "good games are not as profitable" fucking nonsense. They just cant make a good enough game to be profitable hense why they result to shit scum tactics to extract as much money from their dedicated whales and why they no longer exist as a company. 

What's surprising to me is they basically didn't make a profitable game for a decade yet were allowed to exist for that long and be responsible for 3 of some of the largest RPG video game franchises to ever exist. Utterly astounding.

Diablo Immortal is Blizzard's highest-earning game.
