Ah yes the good old “it sold a lot so it’s good”. Yeah ok they probably fooled enough people to buy two turd expansions in a row and perhaps they will manage it a third time given enough superficial trinkets to go around. I guess some people are impressed and sold by tin pins. Fine by me.
By the way I would love to see the official data proving your claims regarding best selling expansions.
Highest selling game does NOT mean GOOD game especially when it’s a blind buy and no one really knows what they got themselves into until much later.
I would love to see data regarding “how many players were subbed 3-6 months into the new game”. That would have a meaning for sure.
Of course the devs have massive sway on the shop. If they had an ounce of dignity in their bones, and had any integrity at all, they'd all walk out on the company and refuse to work. That'd get Activision to change their tune quickly enough.
But of course, you're just another Blizzard apologetic so you will just claim "muh families to feed", as if the whole western world, especially IT, hasn't been booming for the last 10+ years. They've had ample time.
LOL no they do not. They have plenty of integrity and dignity. Not doing what you want does not mean they don't have either. You are not the sole arbiter of how business should be done. They are not going to lose their jobs over something that is that minor because a vocal minority throws a fit about it.
All I ever wanted was the truth. Remember those words as you read the ones that follow. I never set out to topple my father's kingdom of lies from a sense of misplaced pride. I never wanted to bleed the species to its marrow, reaving half the galaxy clean of human life in this bitter crusade. I never desired any of this, though I know the reasons for which it must be done. But all I ever wanted was the truth.
