Tech baby did you have a rough night?

thanks for the hot take that activision are good at making money, that is new and exciting information.

I don't think you understand the definition of "hot take".

All I'm doing is proclaiming how silly it is some dude on a message board is proclaiming some huge amount of resources are being used to port Diablo 3 to the Switch(when it was already a PS3/360 game and probably an easy as hell port) or that it's sales wouldn't be meaningful when old ports continue to sell well on the Switch.

It's a port many Switch owners will want and buy, and it's not a hard port job by any means. It's a no brainer. Arguing otherwise is the definition of a "hot take".

All the flavors in the world and you choose to be wrong... just funny.

I can't remember, but how many other games like Diablo are on the Switch?

Also, if there is an announcement of Diablo 4 at Blizzcon, then there will be a surge in sales for Diablo III for people wanting to get a taste of the series.

It will also be helped by being the first Blizzard game on a Nintendo platform in fifteen years.

It will barely be helped whatsoever. The game gets barebones support as is. This is just a way to cash in on it. Especially at full price for a 6 year old game.

And most of the Blizzard games on Nintendo platforms 15 years ago were just a couple of GBA ports of SNES games. Such as TLV and Blackthorne.

The last true one was Starcraft 64.

Proclaiming is a funny way of saying "discussion"

Its a forum for a discussion which I was having. Lose the attuide and contribute in a meaningful way please.

Yeah hearthstone would be a much better fit.

I'm genuinely surprised there hasn't been a Hearthstone Switch port. Or console one in general.

That's... a great idea, actually. I mean, it's on iPads, why not the Switch too?

Oh well RIP that then.

Once again another third party port costing full price.

Pretty sure $60 isn't full price for a base game + expansion + Necromancer, though it is still a rip-off considering you can get all that for $45 on PC.

Yeah and while they are at it release it on PS4/XB1 already. It's a perfect couch game too.

[Tech614]

contribute in a meaningful way please.

I forgot, claiming "resources" for other projects are being used on this or that it won't sell well is meaningful.

Sorry about that...

Oh wait, actually your post was the exact opposite of meaningful?

I guess still...

Sorry about that...

Unless you can back up any of your other claims, you can move along if you don't want to have that debate.

its another way of saying I feel like this is a waste of time and they should focus on something else. You're welcome to disagree which you clearly do and thats fine

[Eleccybubb]

Yeah i might could get it.

Tiramisu or pizza pringles

I once ate so many pizza pringles as a kid, I threw up all over the house.

I will still gladly eat them though.

As for Diablo 3, honestly I'd probably still pick it up. It's a fun enough game to boot up for a week or two and then stop for a few months to go back to it, but when I'm on my PC I'd just rather play WoW or Overwatch, so D3 gets pushed to the side.
