I see on many posts that you guys keep call this devs blizzard. Stop doing that. They are not blizzard. The old blizzard died when warcraft 3 remastered was launched, some say even earlier. All that is left are some guys who want to milk money from a name who onced meant something for gamers. Or can anyone tell me the actual guys around here deliver the same quality content like the old days from mods on warcraft 3 like dota and legion td? (Speaking of wich the guys who created legion td now have legion td 2 on steam i wonder why they refused blizzard help), or the same times as vanila wow or mop expansion times? Even StarCraft times, what games do we get now? Overwatch 2 with more lootboxes and offers and battlepasses. At least in overwatch theyre all cosmetics. And many say having only two options on battlegrounds dosent matter. Well for guys like me it does, cause i freaking hate some of the heroes, and having 4 of them meaned a chance that i won’t be forced to play a hero i dont enjoy. There was some times i realy enjoyed this games. Now, now i thank god there are devs for the games like Warframe and people who keeped infinity wars (the old version) alive on private servers…

I mean… they are Blizzard.

The term "Blizzard " stopped meaning “a quality product” long ago, though. Sure, we’ve had people reminiscing over Blizzard Of Ages Past (BOAP), but calling them out for their fall from grace doesn’t refer to the people responsible for the scheisse we’ve gotten as of late.
BOAP is indeed dead, the people of those times now working with other studios (Here’s to hoping Stormgate does well). New Blizzard, or current Blizzard as it should be known as, is as user-friendly and pro-consumer as pre-used toilet paper.

So do indeed call these guys Blizzard. Because Blizzard does not mean quality nowadays.

That’s because Blizzard knows damn well they can make much more by selling you the same product in a subscription-based manner.

Get the razor for free, and we’ll make 30 times more of what you’ve normally paid, by selling you blades in the long run. Oh, you chose to unsubscribe? Enjoy your old, rusty blades then, aka pick only from 2 heroes.

But I don’t want to type out a multiple paragraph justification every time, like you just have.

So I’ll stick to just typing “Blizzard” under the understanding that everyone gets the multi paragraph meaning behind it, like you clearly do given this topic being posted.
