Diablo III has been out for over a month now, and to reinvigorate players and spark their interest in the game, as well as fulfill promises initially given before release, Blizzard released the Real Money Auction House (from this point forward referred to as RMAH) to the public.
Microsoft has 'let Blizzard be Blizzard' following the acquisition of the veteran developer according to World of Warcraft's executive producer.
Diablo 4 storefront being a cash grabbing shitshow does unironically attest to that, kudos.
Okay i will be interested if they become old Blizzard but might as well be dead.
Shame most of the people that made Blizzard what they were, have already left a while ago.
Were you expecting Microsoft to hire everyone that had left Blizzard long before they purchased the company...
Microsoft has let the Blizzard company they purchased continue to be the Blizzard company they purchased.
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.
Killed the game they dont want people to get good gear so they go to the rmah instead, about 90% quits the game cause they want to find the gear themselves not use ah and rmah. Whats left is the p2w players and bots.
Also, the fact that some people bought items with certain stats then have those items suddenly get nerf pissed off the buyers. Instead of nerfing them, blizzard should have just introduced new items with stats they wanted instead of nerfing items that have been acquired all ready. $250+ items that got nerfed... so sad.
