    Watching this feels like a punch in the gut....it actually hurts. I have loved each and every game Blizzard has put out since I came to gaming over 20 years ago. Seeing iconic faces and settings, hearing some of my most favorite voice actors, remembering my trip to BlizzCon in 2009....all of it...so bittersweet.

    My heart aches for the Blizzard of yore

    Really nice and very touching. It's almost like a dream, then we wake up and realize Activision is controlling that puppet show.

    Kinda weird given that the only product they ever made that united these world's/characters they just shut down.

    And now 100 Blizzard Employee are being asked to leave by the end of the year. Further shrinking what is left of Blizzard.

    From games for gamers to games as a service, not just their story mind you.

    If feels like they are out of ideas and are trying the "feelings" approach now. I expected stock prices to stop around $50, but Blizzard just said "hold my beer" and announced the HotS changes + now the employee fiasco aka trying to replace old qualified experienced employees to new inexperienced ones for 1/3 of the pay if not less. Seriously they are trying to save any penny they can, so that they can show something to the stock holders...

    Remember to downright HATE the following two words, they're almost the source of all evil(or, rather, a modern corp version of Satan):

    PROFIT. MARGIN(S).

    While profit is a sane and logical thing, its margin(s) are a devil spawn.

    I wish I could make hundreds of accounts to spam insightful on the comment but there’s nothing scarier than an angry Susie with a firedept grade water hose.

    Because they put it out on their official channels today by way of, I assume, a holiday greeting. Ofc, you'd have seen that if you'd checked the date on the YT video. 



    I sense coal in someone's stocking for the BAH HUMBUG on the Friday before Christmas. :D

    So what you're saying is.... they put it out today due to all the bad press... even though it was initially run at Blizzcon. Did you not have phones... to see it?

    My phone was probably low on battery, and it's only got a 5" screen, so I may have missed it regardless, distracted as I tend to be playing games on my 30" PC monitor...

    This was footage from Blizzcon. It happened right before the opening ceremony on live stream....

    OH whine cry whatever Blizzard can implode with their crap game and their craptastic way they abandon the people who let them have these stories, you suck Blizzard and when your stock goes to junk honestly can wait. Maybe some idiots at Activision will learn some humility in the process.

    The video was shown at Blizzcon.
    The video was also sent out in an email thanking customers for a wonderful year.
    So everybody is right.





    Except Activision. They are very wrong.

    Too bad the actual game play 100x worse.The video is well produced,looks great but Blizzard has been shrouding people's views of games for years and idk why.
    They copy cat OTHER devs games,they aim at markets and NOT passionate game design.

    FFXIV has arguably the best movie ever in ANY game,that doesn't mean i am going to play FFXIV.

    People should remember Blizzard's laughable Blizzcon event with those super cringy lame speeches to try and stir up the crowd in their favor.

    Here is an idea,QUIT with all the BS,you NEVER made great games,how about NOW use some of that millions you make and make a AAA game instead of all these recent low budget Diablo,and HOTS stuff.
    Even OW,sure some nice art work but the gameplay is casual fps stuff,it is not designed for pro gaming.Maybe some people think that is ok,well if your going to ACT like a pro gaming outfit with ESPORTS then guess what,you have to do it right.

    Same with Hearthstone,an incredibly lame way to disassociate your community by segregating those who can play 8+ hours a day to those who cannot.There is literally NOTHING in the game that allows casuals to play and get anything out of it,it is catering to streamers and the pro scene but doesn't even do that right with NO tourny UI in the game.The TEAM play is FAKE,it is all a SOLO design,just like ALL of Blizzard's games.

    I just came to see what negative things Wiz had said this time. I wasn't disappointed.

    That is simply amazing and inclusive. Very good ad and bravo to Microsoft for making it possible.
