Blizzard really sleeping at the wheel this past decade, they probably should have invested into talent and another IP instead of pleasing their shareholders when Activision was associated with them.

Sucks what business does to moniize creative process/art.

Enshittification. Blizzard used to be good, until billions of dollars became part of the equation, now they're as shit as ubisoft.

It does that to EVERYTHING, not just art. The functional stuff gets bogged down in capitalist BS, too. Just look at DRM. An entire sector devoted to making copying things more difficult just to protect money. Corporations spend so much time protecting profits instead of actually innovating.

No but don't you see?! Something something free market! Something something innovation! It's good for corps to be cancerous and destructive!

They have a brand new IP coming out in the next few years. Action rpg iirc.

edit: strange downvote for stating facts:
