You haters are just as annoying, if not more, than the rabid fanboys you keep detesting. We get it, you hate Blizzard and Diablo 3, yet you can't seem to stop talking about it and somehow wind up on every forum regarding Diablo 3. Nobody cares now go have a wank on the T2 forums already.
LOL. Sorry, I laughed.
I don't think it's about "Hate Blizzard"; it's about "Hate Corporations"
When will you people start to SEE that Blizzard is turning into EA; or any other big company that is just in it for the money. The money!
The truth hurts, therefore many find hard to accept it and even try not to accept it. The truth has been fluffed up with excuses, therefore many are deceived.
Blizzard is at a stage now where they just want to pump out the games for the monies, and since their reputation is so high--they know it is--they feel they can push out random crap--built by random devs--to the people; and people bought it. Any original dev that brought his passion to the table, was fired--because it didn't serve the purpose of making money.
Here is proof that Diablo 3 is just a random game, built by random devs: http://us.battle.net/d3/en/forum/topic/5235705700
It's not even necessarily anti-corporation.
Blizzard is drunk with it's own success. Diablo 3 took 12 years to come out. It's been developed for the last... let's say 5 years. That's f*cking insane for as derivative of a game as it is. Until you look at Starcraft 2, which is just starcraft 1 with a graphics engine overhaul, and how many years that took, and how long it's taking to create an *expansion pack* for the stupid f*cking game.
They have *so* much money thanks to WoW that they're turning into the George Lucas of video games: they're insulated, bloated, slow, and out of touch. They're basically pillaging the same 3 IPs that they've had for 20 years now, and the efforts are getting more and more derivative.
Blizzard needs to have one or two really good failures in the industry to make it hungry again. To remind them that they *can* and *do* fuck up.
Sadly, that's not going to happen any time soon.
