Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Why The Problem With Diablo Isn’t Diablo.
We have to demand a standard of quality and dedication from these things. If we try to paint complaints about Diablo III’s loudly reverberating server-side-down bellyflop as entirely immature, wrong, and entitled, we’re basically saying, “Look, everyone else! We’re totally OK with this.” I mean, Diablo III’s almost assuredly sold millions of units by this point. If widespread rage then proves relatively short-lived, I have to imagine that looks like pretty much all upside to, say, Tim Willits or even devs/pubs whose intentions aren’t quite so benevolent or design-focused. Piggy banks are happy, and customers are happy. What more do you need?

I look at it like people refusing to learn from mistakes. If you do something and realize it has a negative consequence, the rational thing would be to not do that thing again. Likewise it should be the same if you see someone else do something stupid that has a negative consequence.
Somehow, in our society, we've managed to encourage ourselves to keep doing the same stupid things while hoping really hard for a better outcome. The fact that it's D3 isn't a valid excuse for it if it wasn't a valid excuse for Ubisoft's games. |
