ISILDUR's ERR
facts:

-blizzard now primarily makes games that can be finished in half a year, are DLC based, involve literal gambling, and are ported to ipads and iphones.
-the wow movie will probably be the last good thing ever to come even tangentially from blizzard, as it's made by david bowie's son and the story follows pre-casino blizzard stuff
-overwatch will literally be tf2 made by blizzard, and use a similar cash and skin shop used in heroes of the storm, hearthstone, or whatever other casino for children blizzard is currently making instead of warcraft IV

i left out one:

diablo III was criminal theft, offered full refunds for months, and despite public outcry the company claimed the real life cash shop was a small error in judgment,
and never admitted that the level cap was reached in 5 percent of the time it took in diablo II, so that kids would be at the end game 'cash shop time'

it took them something like two years to remove it, and two years after buying a copy the night it came out it still did not have basic PVP duels that were actually listed on the box of the piece of poo poo game i paid 64 dollars for

their solution? buy a 50 dollar expansion pack that includes the features they never gave you listed on the box of the 64 dollar game

So, I never bought the D3 expansion pack or used the RL Cash shop and I logged about uh 30 or 40 hours + some time in the beta which i admit had some better gameplay systems that were replaced with cheapo poo poo by the time the final builds came out, and I can't say I had a really bad time because you don't play 40 hours having a bad time, but what exactly went down with the cash shop that makes every grognard who used it really mad at D3 and caused it to get removed? I had stopped playing, by the time that happened.

wasn't that the case in D2 though? Look, I did not play these games like a lot of people did and I used editors on open bnet to murder baal more times just for fun than actually loot collecting so i dont sympathize, but without actively cheating like i did, or gaming imperfect systems to get loot, you did not run into REALLY GOOD LOOT very often, and if you were playing with other people well good luck clicking first
