And this is the final nail in the coffin for Blizzard, at least for me. I will not buy another game from them, not unless they somehow capture the magic that used to be their hallmark.
Rob Pardo can go fuck himself with his megalomaniac "out of touch" "holy know better than though attitude" statements. Blizzard has grown so bloated and corporate that they have forgotten that games DONT HAVE TO COST millions and millions of dollars to be quality titles. Pumping money does not guarantee quality as can be seen from exhibit A: Diablo3.
Single player games are simpler, easier and YES CHEAPER to make than MMOs or DRM infested quasi multiplayer pieces of shit. That is why there will ALWAYS be a market for quality single player titles. My favorite games have always been single player, if for no other reason than its still the best way to tell a good story.
So to reiterate Rob Pardo can go suck on femdiablo's shemale parts.
I have a nifty blue line!
