Overwatch just came out, why would they announce a sequel for it? Especially when population numbers are high. It's not like they're making paid dlc either. All the "service" is free. I don't play wow anymore and never played hots, sc2 or hearthstone so I can't comment on those. I will agree no diablo 4 was disappointing however.
Lol at anyone who pays 40 dollars to watch a stream though, of course you're gonna be disappointed.

Yep. Though the posters amused by it are just as childish, and encourage that disrespectful behavior
If the title has to be changed, the original should be retained in the OP so that it's clear which words are the OP's and which are not
I don't need see why people are whining about the thread title change. That's what the reductive OP boils down to. I'm super psyched by the changes coming to Overwatch and that's all I play now that I've quit Hearthstone. What made someone think Blizzard would have a new game this year?
well diablo 3 was bad imo. overwatch is decent but with one of the worst monetization schemes ever devised. personally I'd have to go back to wc3 to find anything I liked about blizzard so yeah that is my claim.
Or, you know, one can just post in this thread arguing for why the OP is wrong. Instead of doing this petty title change.
And people don't understand that like i said there not like other developers.
They had to. WoD had almost no content through it's entire duration so they better have a ton for Legion imo.
I got a virtual ticket and despite the kind of meh announcements it's still fun.

Going to Blizzcon expecting new games is a fools dream. Blizzard doesn't make new games often they just stretch existing games to last forever

How are random packs for cosmetics one of the "worst monetisation schemes ever devised"? Especially when the entire F2P and mobile market exist..?

Numbnuts who hype themselves up for it every year without any evidence to what they're hoping for even exists. Last year it was WC3 remake, this year it was Diablo 2-3 remake (or Diablo 4) lol.
Which makes the "oh and another new patch for WoW" reductive statement pretty hilarious. It's more content in one patch than we ever got in the duration of WoD. Mocking thread title change was well deserved frankly.
And when those packs can be earned by playing the game.

People seriously do this? Lmao
That's bait
because it's designed to exploit users. it's a blatant skinner box. what makes it worse than f2p is that at least in those cases you could in some sense argue that the cosmetics is the price of the game. it's still a massive ethical issue but when you have that + charge full price then I don't understand how you can argue that it isn't worse. in any case I'd argue that almost any kind of micro-transaction monetization is a net loss for customers and ethically dubious at best because of the bad incentives that comes with it.

Probably the same consensus that gave launch D3 a free pass(88 metacritic for a game with core systems that were mostly broken as heck at launch). What a fucking joke that was.
pretty done

Blizzard has the most shills of any gaming company aside from maybe Nintendo, so yea. Gotta get dat limited edition mount.

They needed Deep Mind to fill in 10 minutes of the keynote that should tell you how bad it was.
lol
Yup. I'm pretty happy with what's been shown. It's not mind blowing but it's all quality stuff.

A mod changed the title; it's unknown whether the OP used that word originally or not...
It was a mod title change.

And they just changed it again. "Notable" now. Yeah, this isn't confusing at all
For reference, the cited title was "Blizzcon was the worst Blizzcon ever, I don't find service updates acceptable content". No idea what the OP's originally was

hardcore fans that buy stuff aren't shills, and blizzard fans are dwarfed by sony (primarily) and nintendo fans - especially on GAF
I agree $40 for a virtual ticket is silly and I wouldn't pay for it in a hundred years, tho. the digital rewards suck and the best parts of blizzcon are either covered by fan sites live, or broadcasted free by blizzard.

Overwatch got a lot more content announcements than just Sombra though. <_<
Any links? Haven't really kept up.
Every game got more than what the OP says except maybe Hearthstone (I haven't followed the HS stuff).

I wouldn't know, I only was watching the Overwatch content and parts of the HotS stuff.

Developers of the best mp fps in years?
A mod changed the title, "notable" wasn't in the original one. The fact that I have to keep explaining this proves the point that changing titles is ridiculous.
Overwatch and legion are some of the best content blizzard has ever put out so no?
