Because the Legacy Code has too much Psssssssssssssssh, nothing will ever get fixed until CCP stop wasting money on failed sparkle MMOs and instead rewrite the entire backend of EvE from scratch.

The difference being that Blizzard have already proven that they CAN develop other games not related to their moneyprinting machine.

No they can't.

It took over ten years for starcraft 2 and even then they didn't finish it. 60 bucks per campaign sounds like a finished game. If it isnt startraft or warcraft Blizz doesnt know what to do. But also no one knows what titan was about anyway.

Why Can't I have a picture signature.

Also please support graphical immersion, bring back the art that brought people to EvE online originaly.

Starcraft 2 was a money grab, specifically trying to cash in on the popularity of its predecessor in Korea. Unsurprisingly, the launch bombed hard and Starcraft has been a casual game ever since.

Are you saying he is right or are you trying to imply a game called Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft isn't related to world of warcraft?

There's another blizzard game... Good old times. P

Stupidity should be a bannable offense.

Fighting back is more fun than not.

Yup, the company went from stone age straight to hypercapitalist dystopia, they even skipped monarchy. I wonder if they'll ever experiment with socialism...

Spyro merchandise brings more money to Activision Blizzard per year than WoW, it's barely turning profit as it is compared to other games and series.

Well, consider this. The Korean Air Force had a Brood War division. They had enlisted servicemen go on leave specifically to play Brood War, in order to promote the KAF to the up-and-coming youth. When the transition to SC2 was made, the team was shut down due to the lack of interest by the public.

I don't think you understand exactly how big Brood War was there, it had the backing of companies like Samsung, the Korean telecommunications companies and others. It was on the TV, people built careers by playing it. When the sequel came out, pretty much nobody in Korea cared about it, and Blizzard had to throw around corporate lawyer-fu in order to get any foothold in there. Then there was the GOM paywall scandal, in which they just decided to charge people $20 for streams, which lead to lots of nerdrage in general.

Blizzard just want to milk out as much cash as possible, and the result was horrible. Last I checked LoL had established itself as the #1 game in Korea, and well... the rest is history.
