This whole situation is getting more and more ridiculous. Why are Blizzard so mad at that interview? I mean, did they see the same thing I did? Nobody insulted them, and yet they are getting so butthurt about it. Someone has some issues - sheesh.
I feel like it's because the entire Diablo III team thought their game was going to be like the greatest game of the year and everyone was going to fucking love it and they would all be relegated to the status of gaming gods with golden statues made in their honors and people would write stories and sing songs of the amazing game that they made.
Instead the game has a 3.8 User Score on Metacritic, everyone bitches and moans about the quality of the game constantly on a daily basis and calls their integrity as game developers into question and they're pissed off about it.
Blizzard games have always been about longevity, StarCraft: Brood War is still played professionally in Korea to this day, there's WoW expansion coming out this year for a game that is already 8 years old, people still play Diablo 2 to the hardcore, WarCraft 3 had a decent pro scene until StarCraft II was released, and SC2 has an expansion plan that will carry well into the 2020's. Diablo III potentially hurts that legacy and the developers are on a hair-trigger.
