Just let the ship sink. Every single IP is just being sunk into the ground. The guy who said ‘blizzard is just a corpse they are puppeteering to sell nostalgia, the blizzard you knew is dead’ really hit the nail on the head. Out of touch, no innovation and completely lost. These videos literally sound like the devs are being held at gunpoint with a teleprompter in front of them. It’s really sad, but this company managed to completely tarnish one of the best reputations in gaming.

[@CrimsonNinroot]

Can ONE person explain to me why seasonal events or something like the Gauntlet refuses to give the player fun unique loot to make the time worth it. I'm 💯 certain the vast majority of players don't care where they rank compared to people who can no life the game. Give me a good reason to run the Gauntlet for a personal high score. GOOD cosmetics, rare crafting materials, even Uber boss mats would be huge for casual players. I'll never understand why the studio refuses to properly reward dedication to a game that we, the fans, keep alive.

[@ilmstreams]

They can't do that because that would mean they have to make actual content for the game, which Blizzard does not do anymore.

The entire industry has been rocking this model of development and release for years. Steam has been playing a heavy hand in this, promoting early access games as a legit working model.

This has been the new normal for so many years that you must be new here.

I disagree, content is not #1 priority, it should be making the core systems good. Rework itemization, add a loot filter, make it so that the core gameplay loop isn't sitting in town looking at endless yellow items looking for a number increase in the two specific mods that you need. Content does nothing if the act of playing the game is painful and lacks even basic QoL.
