Yet here we are.
Yet another thing NOT in the OG of Wrath that has been added regardless of the pleas and desires of the community that begged for these versions of the game back and begged for them to be authentic replications.
This is by far an important turning moment for the community you serve. I reiterate that, you serve. Your game is a service, we pay to access that. This betrays that relationship and the trust that we, the community, placed on Blizzard to give us an authentic gaming experience of our past.
I get inflammatory on this forum, and argue with folks who I disagree with. But I do it out of passion and for what I believe to be the betterment of the game, just like they do.
We are passionate about Blizzard games. For myself, my first experience was 30+ years ago playing the Lost Vikings on my SNES in high school. We remember what this company was, and how much the experiences it gave us meant. I do not use the word betrayal lightly.
Kaivax, we realize that you’re doing PR damage control right now. We understand that. However, please communicate that releasing shell after shell after shell of games like WC3 Reforged and OW2, in addition to actions like this are driving us away.
Gone are the years of Blizzard cornering the market on such genre’s as well. We have other options. I know, I for one will not be purchasing D4 due to the constant antagonistic actions by the Classic team through Wrath. I am not alone as others on thee forum have stated. We have other gaming options, unlike 15 years ago.
Please realize that much of the negative feedback you are seeing is coming from a place of emotional pain for some of us. This is difficult to see something that we loved and trusted become a thing of frustration. And that thing also embracing business models that we hate.
