Blizzard is a business

I’m not but I also haven’t touched remix. That people go “aww shucks, my only option is to pay blizz more money” is my point.

Nothing to complain about if your conclusion is that your only option is to just suck it up and deal with it.

Just suck it up and deal with it and leave the crying out of it.

I think the first Pong kind of covered everything that Pong could cover.

Quite true about Pong. It was the cutting edge of technology in its days. That was 52 years ago, long before most Warcraft players were born. Think of what games could be like in another 52 years when we blow ourselves back to the Stone Age

It’s a crappy business atp.

Business makes horrible decisions all the time. They still need to be called out on it. I’ll die on this hill.

You ask, as they’re literally developing an expansion as we speak.

Look, say what you want about there being fewer dungeons and raids than there have been in the past, but this pretense that “dey don’t make content anymore becuz da shop!!!” is laughable.

I mean, that’s kinda how you make money. By making something that people want to buy.

Weird.

You would think that, making good games, would make people BUY it, subscribe to it…

Or you know, giving what a customer want is exactly the way to make then buy it, and keep coming for more.

Maybe im just too old and too uncultured about this business thing

And they should give me, the paying customer, what I want.

It was a rhetorical question to drive home a point.

Yes I 100% acknowledge they’re developing stuff. But the point being that the more people spend money on stuff that costs more than a subscription but requires 1/100th the amount of effort to develop, the more financial analysts are going to infiltrate and say “this is what we should focus on”

Remember when High amount of sales = not being closed down? :confused:

While I think that it’s true that money making is important to any company I highly doubt there are many people going to work at a video game company thinking to themselves “man I don’t wanna make a good game! I just wanna suck these gamers dry of all their money!”. Of course people want to make a good game lol.

They used to…

Most of the time the people in power at the big corporation put pressure on the devs so they have to put out a mediocre product.

I don’t know if this is the case with wow or if the devs are nerfing the OP out of remix on their own.

Well you are wrong. But if you felt better cool. Not about a business with the goal to make money any fifth grader should know that much.

But to say it’s not to make a good game is foolish (I’d use stronger language but blizzard moderates these forums as if we are all in middle school) . Good product always is more cost effective in the long end than bad product. Good product costs more up front but over time the pay off is greater. Bad product is the opposite it’s cheap up from but more costly for n the long term.

I am truly rocked to my core at this new, spectacular revelation that no one has ever heard or been aware of before today.

Which could also be considered just another of the baits-and-switches that were part of this event and they hype that led up to it, that misled people into thinking what they played on the PTR was going to be what went live.

What these high muckymucks are thinking is, “what can we do to get a short-term spike that will make us look good in that upcoming investor report?”

Not blood elf bikinis? Bah, typical Alliance favoritism.
