Blizzard has revealed their intentions for the one year anniversary for Diablo 3 by giving players an array of different in-game bonuses. These bonuses include a 25% increase to both players’ Magic Find and Experience stats, as well as a buff to help defend Sanctuary.
Former Blizzard president Mike Ybarra recently suggested an interesting concept that has sparked a debate among gamers - the idea of being able to tip developers after completing a game.
If I had a 100% way to be sure that this money would go to a fund or a reserve dedicated only to the guys who develop the games, be them designers, artists, programmers and so on, I could think about it.
But we all know that this 'tip' would only end up in a publisher's CEO pocket to buy a new yacht, so, no, I ain't tipping anyone anytime soon on this industry
So they eventually don't pay their workers and depend on our tips to pay them like the case with waiters!
Is this a joke? How about the big wigs giving up some of their pay for their hard working developers.
Blizzard and NetEase have announced that Blizzard's games will return to mainland China under a new publishing agreement.
Top executives including games boss Sean Shoptaw have also been promoted…
*Yawn. Yay...let's replay the same, short campaign yet again; only THIS time with...*gasp*...25% MAGIC FIND AND EXPERIENCE FIND?!?! zomg. Sad thing is even with 25% more MF you'll still only find a Legendary item every 60-80 hours of gameplay...and they will be terrible items to boot. Broken game that was designed around avarice and advocation of micro-transactions. Suprise us with something unheard of: an expansion. In other words, make use of that generous 25% buff whilst exploring a new map rather than the same tired run we have beaten on every difficulty....

Edit: Not a broken game, but one hindered by bone-head design decisions. I was a tad harsh. Sorry for the double post people, oops.
Just waiting for the ps3 version.. Hopefully pc version comes with it.
The only gift they should be giving is their money back.
