In Blizzard’s current system, item stats in World of Warcraft increase exponentially in strength, to ensure that the game’s rewards remain “compelling” as players level. However, absurdly high numbers have left them with a real problem that will have to be addressed, the developer has said.
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.
Blizzard Entertainment has announced the opening of beta registrations for “World of Warcraft: The War Within,” inviting players to explore new subterranean worlds beneath Azeroth.
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.
This whole "issue" just seems like a big joke.
There is so much bullshit arround WoW nowadays and this is what Blizzard sees as in issue?
"Big numbers may become too hard to read"
That's just ridiculous.
Take a good look at the casual fest and the brain dead gameplay. That is the real issue with what WoW nowadays. One big issue that is still becoming worst.
the real issue is a cash shop in a p2p MMO...
really blizzard?
