I've just read the frontpage and I'm absolutely shocked by this "design" approach. I'm referring to this:
What they're saying is, we had to change the game in order to accommodate those who do not know how to play, who hate the game, who make the wrong choices, who need to be spoonfed and so on. It makes a lot of sense now how those who used to love the game are so unsatisfied with the game where as the people who love the game now refer to older expansions as shit, complicated, nostalgia goggles and so on.Originally Posted by Blizzard Entertainment
To me this makes no sense at all. Why would you want to change the game for people who HATE your game? Why not improve the game for the reasons people LOVE the game? Seems like a backwards design philosophy imo. But I understand that there are more people who have no interest in this game so that does make for a bigger pool of potential subscribers.
What do you think of this? To me it feels like those who truly fell in love with the game were not as important as those who were unsatisfied with it. Feels like a backstab really.
