Rose Wrote:I think Blizzard used to be cool. But most of those cool people have left and gone to other companies now. I decided they were evil when Starcraft II was region locked, screwed over the e-sports crowd (no LAN as a deliberate decision) and was being released as three separate games for a total of, over here, £120.
Well, to be fair, people used LAN as a way to bypass blizzard and get free copies of Starcraft/diablo/warcraft, because it was a way to bypass there bnet check. I wouldn't be suprised if LAN started to die out just for that reason. Or at least companies tried to phase it out.
Also, Starcraft 2 is already just as long as most rts.
As for the locking regions, I don't have a defense for that.
But, I love Chris Metzen. He's funny, he's a good story creator (if baised, horde ftw), and he's not a eyesore.
Plus, they are one of the few companies that has the money/manpower to make sure no game they have is failz. I mean. Starcraft 2 got good reviews, sure diablo 3 will be the same. They are coming out with a new mmo, which will most likely be groundbreaking. Then, they are ALSO working on a new ip entirely.
<3 my Blizzard.
Edit: Like Fable (2 and 3 are okay. Image related.)
