Diablo 4 Director and Lead Level Designer Fired...

I don't even care anymore, Blizzard was once one of my favorite developers. But it seems that lately it hasn't missed a chance to sabotage itself.
 
I don't know the names of these guys, is the dude in this video still... is his record still clean? David Brevik? Cuz i like this video lol

 
Coming from FFXIV the WoW story feels like it was written by an actual child, the dialogue is literally '' you cannot win, no u we will staph u '' and there's so much melodrama that feels pointless and like it raises more questions than answer any.
Like the recent Elune and Tyrande cutscene is just big bombastic music that is ultra dramatic but nothing actually happens and you just walk out with more question.
The story really feels like it's written by a group of different people on the spot, like they have no idea and are just putting the characters into scenes and then trying to write dialogue without knowing what's going on themselves.
So like the Jailer is there and he's doing bad things but they don't know what so they just have him say generic '' you can't win '' lines that really adds nothing and the heroes give a generic response and nothing actually happens.
Haven't played WoW, but I felt the same way about Destiny 2's cutscenes. They were so corny and cartoon-ish. All the bad guys seemed like they came from a children's action cartoon from the 80s. And the good guys are constantly heaping praises on you for every minor accomplishment in an attempt to make you feel like the hero. Similar to the way a parent might heap praises on their toddler for taking a shit on the big boy potty.
