Cheatcc says: "One of my major concerns heading into PAX East was that the end of the world might be drawing near. In order to test out this theory, I made sure the Blizzard booth was my first stop during media hour. I anxiously awaited an earthquake to rip through the convention center, a tornado to blow us all away, or a fire to burn the thousands of con-goers alive. I picked up a PS3 controller and started to play Diablo III on a console. None of my fears came true; the world didn't end, and I made it back to tell the tale."
Activision Blizzard ordered to pay $23.4M for patent infringement involving popular games.
I would read the article but the giant pop-ups from the top and bottom of the screen made me close it.
Without reading $23.4 million isn't a deterrent for a company that size.
Boss: Let's fire a few people to recoup on that loss.
Slave: Cortana has decided to get rid of Arkane Austin and Tango Gameworks.
Boss: Let's get those Firing Letters "Copilot Approved" and send them through the power of the cloud.
Slave: Long Live Phil !!!
ALL in the room: LONG LIVE PHIL !!!!
Well another troll company with a patent trying to extort money out of companies. Seems like they’re going to try and sue everyone.
Blizzard writes: "After careful consideration over the last year, we at Blizzard have made the decision not to hold BlizzCon in 2024. This decision was not made lightly as BlizzCon remains a very special event for all of us, and we know many of you look forward to it. While we’re approaching this year differently and as we have explored different event formats in the past, rest assured that we are just as excited as ever to bring BlizzCon back in future years."
How about you not hold Blizzcon anymore period. You fucking POS company. I really hope Blizzard would just die.
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.
The wierd thing is that Blizzard didnt make diablo for console first. This genre was first made for console and plays best on console. This + 3PS and multiplattform FPS is just not made for PC, its awkward.
Finally we get it atleast :)
I remember many gamers here on N4G down bubbled me for saying Diablo III and the like is coming to PS4.
LOL! Were they so wrong.
Not dissing on PC gamers nor PC platform, but the advantages of PC gaming over consoles are thinning out.
And seeing how M$ supported console gaming more than PC with the Xboxes is so telling that console gaming is where money and action is.
I am expecting many PC game franchises being played on PS4 next year.
