Inquest Magazine, used to write articles for them back in the early 2000s. Huge scandal where a ccg company was offering good payout for good reviews and I (rightfully) shat on their unbalanced mess of a game. Article was not published and I was blacklisted from ever doing anything with a Ziff publication ever again. Did some work with Pojo after, but that site is a god dammed mess.
Glad I got out though, the amount of corruption in that field would make IGN blush.
Yeah but the thing is they actually do things like coding the npcs to attack support casters first and things like making Merlins buffs worthless.
And you don´t need them it makes the game just easier. And you can just say Jalter, it´s a accepted fandom name like Salter, Dickwizzard aso.
We found out what other diablo project they are working on:
Next to
We are getting
Just realized I'm old and gaming magazines havn't been a thing for a decade now
That aside, Q&A is a damage control fluff with no hard questions to speak of. Now what am I going to do with all this popcorn?
That's...a bit of a different situation than what happened here, though. You upheld your journalistic integrity to not accept a bribe for a good review.
These were just two devs literally doing their job. They aren't being bribed, they aren't doing anything ethically or morally wrong...they are just....disappointing fans.
So while what they had to say SUUUUCKED I don't hold those on stage at fault for it.....except that one snarky "YOU ALL HAVE PHONES!" comment. They can screw themselves for that one. But we got back at them for it thanks to our hero in the Red Shirt.
There is a thin line between not knowing and not caring, and I like to think that I walk that line every day.

Quite sure we will soonish here something new from other diablo projects, after this disaster.
From the summary:
Currently looking at what itemization will look like in the game. Legendary powers will definitely be a part of it.
Also looking at how to upgrade and improve items over time. Socketing will be part of items in some form.
Haven't figured out business model. Focusing on making an excellent game first. When the game is farther along will figure out what the right business model is.
Hahahah yeah right, the game is going to be heavily loaded with microtransactions for upgrades, guaranteed, they just can't say it due to the amount of negativity they know they'll get ^^
A " fan " apologized to Blizzard ? First of all a " TRUE FAN " never apologized to Blizzard for that and second , Blizzard had to be the one who apologize from their " FANS "The second fan apologized to Blizzard for April Fools Guy’s inappropriateness. More cheering.
Can you please , please (for the love of god ) pleeeease stop acting like this. Its 2018 dear Blizzut ! We are not idiots and we know about " DAMAGE CONTROL ". And guess what ? We also know those 4 guys are not fans ! They are Activisionists , Blizzardopolus Humongosis.
At least that clown fiesta is over now ... thank god !
"...money's most powerful ability is to allow bad people to continue doing bad things at the expense of those who don't have it."
Maybe. But I doubt it'll be before 2019.

Remember those Demo Discs? I still have one of their old ones from WAAAY back that had the WORMS demo on it. I miss that thing...I still remember its menu: going down that elevator into that underground bar where you could choose your Demo to play. Ahh thems were the days.

You're right, they didn't release a video with their community manager literally promoting and hyping several projects /s
.. What? They never released a video trying to reduce the hype infact they did the exact opposite, let me quote you their video for youThey had to release a video and a written statement
"Forges are burning hot here at Blizzard and we have multiple projects in the works. Some might take longer than others, but we might have something to show you later this year"
August this year btw.
2 years after being skeleton crewed and the best they have to show for their work is a Mobile game they didn't even make except partner with Netease with art asset collaboration.
O Flora, of the moon, of the dream. O Little ones, O fleeting will of the ancients. Let the hunter be safe. Let them find comfort. And let this dream, their captor, Foretell a pleasant awakening
People are asking why Blizzard announced this at Blizzcon. Just remember if they hadn't there would have been NO new game. NO Diablo. Nothing. Everyone complains about Blizzard not communicating but it is obvious they rather no communication than to hear something that didn't go with their expectations or wants.
