Feels like too little too late? Especially since they lied about what they were going to deliver. After this + Diablo 4, I really do not understand how people continue to give them money.
The vast majority of their money comes from World of Warcraft and StarCraft players who have been playing full-time for years, if not decades.
They’re funded by addicts who refuse to quit.
I used to play WoW and recently quit bc of several, several issues I had with the game + the company at large. It was like D4 opened my eyes. I personally won’t be spending anymore money with them.
I mean, from my perspective, I didn’t think they were worth giving money to before either of those. So probably a simpler reason to why that was your line and not sooner.
And this isn’t meant to be aggressive or to say you didn’t do good enough soon enough or anything like that. The reasons were probably something like “hadn’t heard of what was going on with them” or “shit only met your threshold for side eye, not yet boycott up until then”. But whatever your reasons, there’s still people in that stage. And there’s also people that just don’t care about any of that.
Also, never forget that there are people who see MTX in video games and get excited about all the cool things they can buy in this game. And there’s people who think women working in tech are fair targets for harassment (sexual or otherwise), that Hong Kong should have stfu and got back to work, that it’s fun to play Diablo on their phone (tbh this one was more a sign that they had lost touch than a real negative thing), that they replaced the old games with newer ones and newer = better, etc.
That game is pretty dead nowadays.
