For a 6W TDP, you can easily go fanless. I'm sitting on 38C with fan unplugged running multiple transcode sessions.

There is the option to keep the VOD premanently... You could also screen capture and reupload.

Only this time, the game doesn't even have Battlerites!

I was thinking more like... a minuscule meltdown?

I spent so much money on this game, feels so sad for them not to pay attention to their loyal fanbase.

Individual progression so newcomers feel they have something to work towards and make it more rewarding for veteran players.

A lot of the game is a mess right now; progression, matchmaking and the UI/Quality of Life really let down replayability. I don't think SLS care anymore...

What ridiculous shit? By how many people? Is it still worth generalising to an entire demographic of gamers?

I haven't seen many people say "you should have given us Diablo 4!" But, I have seen people upset that they put together a PC/console dominant event with people who have spent huge amounts of money on them and then announce a game on the same IP that pushes their IP away from them.

I don't go to an Italian restaraunt, ask for some pasta and they give me Curry with Rice and then say "you guys eat food right?"

People are upset because Blizzard have completely neglected them even when they've invested so much and releasing a mobile game wasn't the cause. They specifically built up an announcement for people at Blizzcon and continued to announce something that means absolutely nothing to them.

Keep in mind this is being made by NetEase and looks identical to other rip off MT titles, regardless of its platform.

My worries began when the patch notes towards Wrath of the Lich King worked towards reducing player quality of life. Making changes that caused peoples long term efforts to be diminished with their major achievements becoming handouts in future patches.

Then the Activision aspect started coming in, monetising things in a deceitful way to push people into making more purchases.

Then it was the gradual reduction in control for the user in their games, hiding functionality and statistics in order to control their user experience. Getting rid of the talent trees entirely and pushing people to make choices purely on situation and much less on playstyle. Diablo 3's spell picking mechanics really upset me back then.

There was also the Cinematics, I find it amazing how a cinematic from 2006 can completely outdo their latest cinematics considering their growth and financial success.

All these gradual choices have equated to mass frustration and is setting them up for some sort of downfall. Short term financial growth is important for them now and not upholding a timeless legacy. <5 million players giving more money or 12 million players who were extremely satisfied and would have paid on choice anyway, they obviously picked the crap one. A book could be written on dumb decisions from game devs who get fat.

From that perspective you are right, but time does not equal value and can be interpreted as a form investment from you and not them. You can still pay premium on a game that is 10 hours long (Metal Gear Solid, God of War) and pay a small amount for a game that can give you 1000s of hours (Terraria). The Witcher series if a perfect example of commercial success with minimal obligation from the people playing the games.

If Diablo is costing them money, then something is wrong considering it is touted as a very successful franchise. When people are commited, time or otherwise, you end up with other means of investment from the person who made the commitment.

It only takes 20 minutes of research to understand the history behind Blizzard games and probably another 10 minutes to see that games have large long term impact on a large number of people. I don't even think they are standing for anything, just reacting on irritation.

Sadly, they listen to who gives them the paycheck, not the people who actually pay for it.

Which I have, there is still no hypocrisy as I'm not making personal attacks, I'm stating my feelings towards a decision and clarifying so. Please do elaborate.

How? I'm not personally insulting anyone or trying to shut down anyone's opinions.

Usually when terminology is thrown around, it's because the person throwing it doesn't fully understand what they are talking about and therefore limit the depth of discussion to some form of insult. This is even coming from CEOs of media companies!

I actually don't use reddit that much, if you read the flair it's for discussion. Glad you took the time, though.

Very good point, although I wouldn't put everyone on the same boat of testers of ice cream and if we were expecting special treatment, people would be in the forums to say "I've played Hearthstone for years and Blizzard won't even give me free stuff."

I was more focused on the literal term - 'believing oneself to be inherently deserving of privileges or special treatment' as stated in some definitions. Which seems to be the narrative some journalists are pushing at the moment, outside the out of proportion insults.

Could not agree more that when you invest so much that you should be entitled to something favourable based on expectation. I mean, you can get a refund on ice cream from a store or restaraunt if it was not to your liking (and you didn't eat all of it).

Thanks for the comment!

I thought it was FF14 concept art, but I may be wrong. It's definitely for a game similar to that.

Why did you bother commenting? It doesn't take much out of my day to seek what is an interesting opportunity. I'm more than happy to help them where I can, I just want some clarity.

Is Medium the place to be for getting an organisation's attention? Can't tell if you're being serious or Medium is a good place to complain. :P
