Blizzard Is Working On
Blizzard has run out of things to remaster, and as such they are starting to look at some "new stuff," according to a new interview with CNET (via GamesRadar+).

I'll be around for WoW Classic for as long as they keep it going but the credits go to totally different people than what Blizzard.. *Activision*... Blizzard *Activision*... is today.
Too many higher ups worrying about making massive profits instead of making a great game that attracts the masses to it. I honestly question if they can make another great title.

There is no such game developer company "Blizzard", maybe what you were thinking is Activision B.
Just like MMO, this type of games already dead-off years ago..
This is the exact thought process that has killed gaming in general... "I need a game with pretty realistic fancy graphics to have fun..."
Developers = Let's spend 70% of our time and budget on making this game look really realistic and fancy... Oh shit we also need content? Well fudge!
Stop fucking crying about graphics of games and cry about the lack of content... I would literally pay an absurd amount of money for a game with Diablo 1 graphics if it has fun and long lasting content.
There is a reason why Mike Morhaime left Blizzard and "retire" ain't one of it since he already started to invest and run a new company. Adham and the Ups from Activision are the reason why he left. He was the only one holding "ground" to this people.
Oh well, their luck is that they are remastering old games and they will still see money from me and that is thanks to the old crew, not the new ones.
I mean Ion is still at the helm of WoW, which by now he's the only one ruining not 1, but 2 WoW expansions..in a row. He's still there because of the friendship status he has with the Ups.
When Jay Wilson screwed D3, it took them 1 year to change the guy and good they did. But Ion? Nope..Fucked up BfA and now Shadowlands and he's still confident he's doing a "great job", lol.
Real Blizzard has /leavethechatroom years ago.
Reporter: What's behind Blizzard success, and how do you make your gamers happy?
Blizzard Boss: Making gamers happy is not my concern, making money.. yes!
Good is not defined by one characteristic. Both D3 and PoE can be good as defined by different charcteristics. Both met my criteria that people buy them, keep buying them, play them, and keep playing them. Those are the only real statistics that one can quantify. All the other reasons are subjective to the player.
Really WoW was about the only thing they did that I liked and it was basically taking Everquest, dumbing it down significantly, and putting in Warcraft lore...They made an RPG that 5 year olds could play and run on their toaster and it worked.
Mobile is a cheap McD's burger at this point, while cheap and easy to make, the market is saturated to no end, with endless games on mobile, and everyone and their brother is jumping on. Sure the money is there, but they would be far better off buying a smaller company to make mobile games for them, and reap the profits without needing to put their name out there on a mobile game, which no doubt will give rise to all kinds of panic about some WoW game on Mobile and they don't need that.
However, given their size and clout in the gaming world, I think their next big venture should be to make a break out title for VR, which right now, is a very raw and truly untapped market, that allows them to be the next huge trendsetters in that landscape.
Just my feels on it. I mean, for me, that looks like the truly untapped arena of gaming, and their best bet if they really want to burn their brand into the future of gaming.
